Question

Marty is rolling a normal die, numbered 1 through 6, as he plays a board game. How likely is it that he will roll a number other than 6 on his next turn?

Answer 1

5/6

Answer 2

lol...

Answer 3

chances of picking 6 is 1/6 so chances of picking anything else is 1-1/6

Answer 4

the answers are a=certain b=likely c=unlikely d=impossible

Answer 5

Probability questions are set up as such: \[P=\frac{desired}{total}\] in this case the 'desired' outcomes, or what we are looking for are "anything other than a 6" so in this case we have \[P=\frac{desired}{total}=\frac{5}{6} \approx 0.833\]

Using the given choices, 5/6 is 'likely' --> B

Answer 6
