Question

A probability experiment consists of rolling a 6 sided die. Find the probability of rolling a number less then 6. Round to three decimals

Answer 1

Given:

A 6 sided die is rolled.

$S=\mleft\lbrace1,2,3,4,5,6\mright\rbrace$$n(s)=6$

Let A be the event of getting a number less than 6.

$n(A)=5$$P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$$P(A)=\frac{5}{6}$$P(A)=0.833$

Therefore, probability of getting a number less than 6 is 0.833
