Using a sixteen-sided number cube, what is the probability that you will roll an even number or an odd prime number? The number 1 isn't an odd prime. Round to three decimals.

hiii :)

Hello. Can you help me?

OpenStudy (dan815):

3,5,7,11,13 = 5 numbers + 8 even numbers = 13 13/16 is the probability

OpenStudy (dan815):

do u understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer choices are: 0.188, 0.813, 0.219, and 0.156

OpenStudy (dan815):

check wat 13/16 is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.8125?

OpenStudy (dan815):

yep your question says round to 3 decimal places so what will that be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.813?

OpenStudy (dan815):

well this is how you round numbers 0.8125 right so you look at the last digit in that number if the number is 5 or more like 0.8126 you say it is closer to 0.813 than it is closer to 0.812 so you make it 0.813 if it 4 or less like 0.8124 then you say its closer to 0.812 than 0.813 make it 0.812

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, the answer is 0.813?

OpenStudy (dan815):

yes and do you want to know why 13/16 gave us that answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay ummm this is how you do it you want to know if you roll the dice then what are the chances it will be either a prime number or even number on a 16 sided dice right

OpenStudy (dan815):

that means dice numbers go like this 1 <---- this number they say is not an odd prime so we dont take it 2 <--even 3---prime 4 even 5 prime 6 even 7 prime 8 even 9 10 even 11 prime 12 even 13 prime 14 even 15 16 even now count up all the even and prime that is 8 even and 5 prime so 8+5 = 13 now there are 16 sides to a dice so 16 outcomes but we only need 13 so to get 13 out of those 16 outcomes or in math terms that is 13/16 which means 13 out of 16
