Question

A six sided die is rolled. What is the probability that either a 4 or 5 is rolled?
1/6
1/3
1/4
1/2

Answer 1

Well, that is two numbers out of 6 an that is 2/6...now simplify

Answer 2

1/3

Answer 3

@LGumboymath234 its not 2/3

Answer 4

couldent have said it better @jcbako

Answer 5

so then 1/ 6

Answer 6

the probability for a 4 is 1/6
probability for a 5 is 1/6

you want 4 or 5
so you add the probabilities

Answer 7

No 1/4 You are taking 2 numbers from 6

Answer 8

I made a typo in my last comment, I said multiplied at the end, that should be add

Answer 9

There ya go :)

Answer 10

you know that the probability to get any single number on a dice has the same probability
since you want one number from 6 the probability is 1/6

since this is true that the probability is equal for all rolls
then when it asks for probability for 4 OR 5 then you add the probabilities
if it said 4 AND 5 you would multiply the probabilities

so if I wanted 2 or 3 from the dice the probability would be 1/6 add 1/6 which is 2/6

Answer 11

thanks

Answer 12

I do not know why I typed 1/4, I meant 1/3
