I don't understand this question. I would appreciate the help! Jimmy finds that the probability of rolling a die and getting a number that is three or less or is odd is 4/6 = 2/3 approx 67%. Which of the following is an accurate interpretation of this probability? If he rolls the die three times, two times he will get a 1, 2, 3, or 5 He has a 67% chance of getting a 4 or 6 If he rolls the die three times, one time he will get 4 or 6 He has a 67% chance of getting a 1, 2, 3, or 5

2 out of three times "that is three or less" We could definitely rule out D

OpenStudy (beccab003):

Okay :) So, what about "He has a 67% chance of getting a 1, 2, 3, or 5"? Would that work?

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

This question seems vague overall A seems best option

OpenStudy (beccab003):

Can you please explain why you think that is the best option?

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

"three or less or is odd is 4/6 = 2/3 approx 67%. " Rules out D totally and B because recites that quote but not true

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

C leaves out number 5

Okay, that makes more sense. Thanks! :)
