Question

Find the probability, in simplest form, of NOT rolling a 2 on a 6-sided die.

Answer 1

Answer:

5/6

Explanation:

The total number of sides on a 6-sided die = 6

$P(\text{rolling a 2)=}\frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, the probability of NOT rolling a 2:

$\begin{gathered} P(\text{NOT rolling a 2)=}1-P(\text{rolling a 2)} \\ =1-\frac{1}{6} \\ =\frac{5}{6} \end{gathered}$

The required probability is 5/6.
