Question

When rolling a fair, eight-sided number die, determine P(number greater than 4). 0.25 0.50 0.66 0.75

Answer 1

Answer :

• 0.50

Explanation :

To find the probability that the number is greater than 4,we will divide the favourable outcomes (4 = 5,6,7,8) by the total possible outcomes ( 8 ).

• P = favourable outcomes/ Total possible outcomes
• P(no. greater than 4) = 4/8
• P(no. greater than 4) = 1/2 or 0.5

thus, option b) 0.50 is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

When rolling a fair, eight-sided die, there are 8 equally likely outcomes (numbers 1 through 8). The numbers greater than 4 are 5, 6, 7, and 8.

The probability (P) of rolling a number greater than 4 is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

$P(\textsf{No. greater than 4}) = \dfrac{\textsf{No. of favorable outcomes}}{\textsf{Total no. of possible outcomes}}$

$P(\textsf{No. greater than 4}) = \dfrac{4}{8}$

$P(\textsf{No. greater than 4}) = 0.5$

So, the correct answer is 0.50.
