anonymous · Answer

try doing the same thing as last time,

anonymous · Answer

number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes

anonymous · Answer

Numbers which are divisible by 6 = 6,12,18,24
P (number divisible by 6) = 4/24
P (number not divisible by 6) = $$1-\frac{ 4 }{ 24 }$$

anonymous · Answer

$$1-\frac{ 4 }{ 24 }$$ isent one of the choices though?

@sangya21

anonymous · Answer

no it's 1 minus 4 over 24

anonymous · Answer

you have to do the equation, but it should e pretty easy

anonymous · Answer

$$1 -\frac{ 4 }{ 24 } = \frac{ 24-4 }{ 24 } $$
$$\frac{ 24-4 }{ 24 } = \frac{ 20 }{ 24 } =\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }$$

anonymous · Answer

think of 1 as $$\frac{ 24 }{ 24 }$$
