Doesn't a standard number cube have numbers 1-6?

anonymous · Answer

Yes it does

meehan98 · Answer

So the probability of getting a 7 would be 0% So the answer is 0 ?

@madhu.mukherjee.946 do you think you could help me with this, please?

meehan98 · Answer

How is it 1/6 when there's not a number "7" on the cube, though?

anonymous · Answer

I never saw a number cube with the number '7' so I guess it's 0% probability?

madhu.mukherjee.946 · Answer

yeah sorry

madhu.mukherjee.946 · Answer

so total probablity will be 0

madhu.mukherjee.946 · Answer

sorry @Meehan98 actually i am not well so i'm messing up with things

meehan98 · Answer

No, it's fine! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't making a mistake.

madhu.mukherjee.946 · Answer

okay

meehan98 · Answer

I have a question on this one too because I feel like it would be 1/36 because P( rolling a six)=1/6 and P(spinning a purple)=1/6 and multiplied would equal 1/36, right?

madhu.mukherjee.946 · Answer

yeah

Yes
