Question

Suppose you roll a special 8-sided die. What is the probability that the number rolled is a "1" OR a "2"? Round to 3 decimal places. Question

Answer 1

we have that

total numbers =8

The probability of getting any number is

P=1/8

so

The probability of getting a 1 or a 2 is

P=2/8 --------> 1/8+1/8=2/8

simplify

P=1/4

P=0.25
