Question

Suppose we toss a pair of stamdard six-sided dice. What is the probability that we get a 2, or a 5?

Answer 1

1/3

Answer 2

I'll explain that a bit more :)
There's 6 sides, so 6 numbers you could get.
2 and 5 are 2 numbers out of 6, so 2 over 6 (2/6) is the probability.
But, you have to simplify to get your final answer. 2 and 6 can both be divided by 1, and that gives you 1 over 3, or 1/3.

Answer 3

2/6 or 1/3

Answer 4

@mathscience4ever, you always want to simplify your final answer, so it's just 1/3.

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

that is true.

Answer 7

yup :)
2/6 is technically correct, but a teacher will take off credit as there's still another step left.
