Math Problem Statement
A standard 6-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of the given events: 1. The number showing is a 3; 2. The number showing is an even number; 3. The number showing is greater than 4.
Solution
Let's analyze the image. It shows a question about finding probabilities with a standard 6-sided die. Here's a breakdown of each part of the problem:
1. The number showing is a 3:
- A standard die has 6 faces: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
- The probability of rolling a 3 is the number of favorable outcomes (1 outcome: rolling a 3) divided by the total number of outcomes (6 sides).
2. The number showing is an even number:
- The even numbers on a die are 2, 4, and 6. So, there are 3 favorable outcomes (2, 4, 6).
3. The number showing is greater than 4:
- The numbers greater than 4 are 5 and 6, so there are 2 favorable outcomes (5, 6).
Summary of Answers:
- Probability of rolling a 3:
- Probability of rolling an even number:
- Probability of rolling a number greater than 4:
Do you have any questions or would you like more details on these probabilities?
Here are 5 related questions to practice:
- What is the probability of rolling a number less than 3?
- If two dice are rolled, what is the probability that both show a 3?
- What is the probability of rolling an odd number on a standard die?
- What is the probability of rolling a prime number on a standard die?
- If the die is rolled twice, what is the probability that the second roll is greater than the first?
Tip: For any event involving a standard die, always divide the favorable outcomes by the total number of sides (which is 6).
