When rolling a number cube, what is the probability of rolling a number greater than 2?

Answer 1

A.. 2/3 b. 5/6 c. 1/4 D. 1/2

Answer 2

you can either get a
1
2
3
4
5
or 6
which of those numbers are higher than 2?

Answer 3

3 up

Answer 4

list them out...

Answer 5

I think its C going by what inkyvoyd said

Answer 6

one last one pleasee?

Answer 7

You know @Monster143 , I never finished talking, and I can assure you that I don't believe the answer is C.

Answer 8

While I appreciate your attempt to help, I am trying to guide @NakaliNovatek to the answer instead of merely presenting it to him.

Answer 9

I'm srry...please forgive me...I should've just let you do it...

Answer 10

im a she to let you knwo

Answer 11

@NakaliNovatek , sorry for getting that wrong.

Could you please list out the possibilities for rolls higher than 2?

Answer 12

umm not exaclty sure im osrry im really stressed out right now

Answer 13

so out of 1,2,3,4,5, and 6, which numbers would be considered higher than 2?

Answer 14

3 4 5 6

Answer 15

ect ect ect

Answer 16

im sorry okay ill try

Answer 17

Yeah, so you have 3,4,5,6. Each of those have the same probability of being rolled, right?

Answer 18

right.

Answer 19

Do you know what the probability of getting any single number on the die would be?

Answer 20

or number cube, I guess.

Answer 21

either a 4 or 3

Answer 22

am i right?

Answer 23

No, I'm asking about the probability. for the probability you take the 1/total number of outcomes. Because you have 6 faces on a cube the probability of getting any number (1,2,3,4,5, or 6) is the same - 1/6

Answer 24

Does that make sense?

Answer 25

ohh okay thats makes more sence

Answer 26

but how would that be like the answe chpoises

Answer 27

i put 1 fourth i dont know if thats it

Answer 28

Well, you have to note that you can get a 3, 4, 5 OR a 6. The rule for probability is that if you want to get one event AND another event to happen, you multiply the two (if one event is unrelated to another). However, we have OR. In the case of an "OR" probability you simply add up all the non-intersecting probabilities. What I mean by non-intersecting is that each event must have nothing to do with the other.

If you get a 3 on your die roll, does that have anything to do with getting a 4 on a die roll?

Answer 29

umm no

Answer 30

So the events are "independent" of each other entirely right?

Answer 31

umm i didnt get that

Answer 32

Here, let me try another way. look at the pie chart and tell me how much of it is occupied by 3,4,5 and 6
