Question

What are the odds of rolling a number greater than 3 on a six sided die?

i got 3:6 or 1:2

Answer 1

well you can have 4, 5 or 6

so its 3 chances out of 6 possible

Answer 2

The odds of rolling 4 are 1/6, rolling 5 are 1/6 and 6 are 1/6. the three outcomes are mutually exclusive. therefore the probabilities are added.
\[P(4\ or\ 5\ or\ 6) = \frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}\]

Answer 3

so yes? :)

Answer 4

i am correct?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Probability and Odds are not the same although they are closed related.

Odds is the ratio of successful outcomes to unsuccessful outcomes.

In this case, there are 3 successful outcomes {4, 5, 6}
There are 3 unsuccessful outcomes {1, 2, 3}.

The odds in favor of rolling a number greater than 3 is
3 to 3 or 1:1.

Note: 1/2 or 1:2 is INCORRECT
