Question

Suppose you roll one die. What is the probability of rolling a multiple of 3?

Answer 1

only multiples of 3 on one die are 3 and 6

Answer 2

Well on a die there is number 1,2,3,4,5,6. both 3 & 6 are multiples of three. So there is a possibility of you rolling the 2 out of 6 giving the probabilitty 2/6, which simplifies to 1/3.

Answer 3

in other words, there are two multiples of 3 on one die, and six sides in total, so it is the ratio of the number of multiples of 3 to the total number of faces

Answer 4

so is the answer 3 or 1/3

Answer 5

1/3

Answer 6

whoa hold the phone
a probability is always less than or equal to 1

Answer 7

do you understand the way it is done ?

Answer 8

so never give an answer like 2 or 3
in plain english this says you would roll a 3 or 6 about one third of the time

Answer 9

yea .. something like 0.333 or 1/3 .

Answer 10

okay
