Question

you roll a dice. what is the probability that you roll either a 5 or a 6?

Answer 1

as there are 6 options
rolling 5/6 is two choices
which is 2/6 = 1/3

Answer 2

umm..can you explain a bit more

Answer 3

a dice has 6 sides

Answer 4

5 or 6 means one of TWO sides

Answer 5

so if there are 6 sides and you can roll 2

Answer 6

that is 2 in 6 chance
or 1 in 3 = 1/3

Answer 7

is that clear?

Answer 8

If you roll a die you would have a \(\frac{1}{6}\) of a chance of rolling a 5 and same for rolling a 6, so therefore you would have \(\frac{2}{6}\) of a chance of rolling a 5 or a 6

Answer 9

You can't roll a ''die'' - sammixboo ;)

Answer 10

Or a \(\frac{1}{3}\) of a chance, because \(\frac{2}{6}\) simplified is \(\frac{1}{3}\_

Answer 11

Shh I know

Answer 12

Dang it a LaTeX fail

I must be getting tired

Answer 13

LOL

Answer 14

Uri shhhh

Answer 15

But anyways \(\frac{2}{6}\) is simplified to \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Answer 16

i get it know

Answer 19

You have tiles and spell out the word ANACONDA. you scramble them and pick one at random. What is the chance that you pick an A?

i believe it is 3/8
jut wanted to see if i'm correct

Answer 20

Hehe, that word? Weird. Anyways!

ANACONDA has 8 letters, and there is 3 'A's in that word, so therefore you would have a \(\frac{3}{8}\) chance of getting an 'A'

Answer 21

Or a 37.5% chance :P

Answer 22

so i was correct.
now this one is really trowing me off.
You have 3 card deck containing a King , Queen,and a Jack. you pick a card AND PUT IT BACK and pick another one. What is the probability that you do not pick the same card?

Answer 23

Well if you have 3 cards, draw one, and then put it back you will have the same amount of cards. Let's say you chose a King on your first draw. Out is 3 cards there is one king, so when you draw a second time you would have a \(\frac{1}{3}\) of a chance to get a king making it a \(\frac{2}{3}\) of a chance of drawing another card

Answer 24

so the chances of not picking the same card is 2/3?
