There are six numbers on a normal die. What is the probability that you roll a 5 or a 6? Answer 1/4 1/6 1/2 1/3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Probability = (number of favorable outcomes) / (total number of outcomes)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since you want a 5 or a 6, number of favorable outcomes = 2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

there are 6 different numbers on a die, so total number of outcomes = 6

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
