A six-sided die is rolled;the sides are numbered 1,2,3,4,5, and 6. In rolling the die, find p(4)

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

so do you have any idea how to solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not really

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

use this \[\frac{ chances }{ outcomes }\]

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

so how many chances do you have to roll the number four?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Six

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

no those are all the outcomes. If I gave you a dice right now and you rolled it. You would have 1 chance to roll the number 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so that would be the answer right?

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

how many chances do we have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/4 I think

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

no look back at the fraction i gave you. So we have 1 chance and we need the outcomes, how many di do we have in total?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

so we have 1/6 chance of getting the number 4

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

Do you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes so the answer is1/6

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you
