Math Problem Statement
what is the probability of rolling a 3 or a 4 with a 6 sided die
Solution
To calculate the probability of rolling a 3 or a 4 with a 6-sided die, you can follow these steps:
-
Identify the total number of possible outcomes:
A 6-sided die has 6 faces, so there are 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). -
Identify the favorable outcomes:
The favorable outcomes are rolling either a 3 or a 4. There are 2 such outcomes. -
Calculate the probability:
The probability of an event is given by the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes:
So, the probability of rolling a 3 or a 4 with a 6-sided die is .
