Question

a die is tossed. it is a fair, unbiased die. list the outcomes for each event below and the probability of the event.
1) a number less than or equal to 4 appears 2)an odd number is tossed. 3)a number greater than 4 appears

Answer 1

probability:\[P = \frac{\# \space of \space DESIRED \space outcomes}{\# \space of \space TOTAL \space outcomes}\]

Answer 2

@JFraser care to explain a little more?

Answer 3

@.Sam. wll you help?

Answer 4

if the die has 6 sides, and there's a different number on each side, what are the chances that a random roll of the die gets you a number less than 4? What are the POSSIBLE results? what are the DESIRED results?

Answer 5

examine each problem one at a time

Answer 6

desired is <= 4 and there are 6 possibilities and yes please can we examine one at a time

Answer 7

the TOTAL number of possible results from a single throw are:

1,
2,
3,
4,
5, or
6. SIX total possible outcomes (results)

the DESIRED outcomes are
4,
5, or
6. there are THREE desired outcomes.

The PROBABILITY of a desired outcome is 3/6

Answer 8

its less than or = to four so itd be 1,2,3 or 4 so 4/6 right

Answer 9

sorry, you are correct for the first one, <=4 makes it 4/6 desired outcomes.

Answer 10

do the same thing with the other 2 problems. find the total number of outcomes, and the number of desired outcomes

Answer 11

there are three odd numbers so 3/6? for #2

Answer 12

yep

Answer 13

and 3/6 for #3

Answer 14

#3 is a number GREATER than 4, but not including 4. so try again

Answer 15

2/6

Answer 16

yep

Answer 17

okay can you help with the next set ill post them in a few?

Answer 18

i'd bet you can use the same approach for all of these probability problems. try them first and show me your answers, then i'll see if i can help

Answer 19

theres a problem with that
