A die is rolled. Find the probability of the given event. Write your answers as whole numbers or reduced fractions.

Question

(a) The number showing is a 4

P(4) = 

(b) The number showing is an even number

P(even) =

(c) The number showing is greater than 3

P(greater than 3) =

Answer 1

(a) P(4) = (# of times 4 is seen on faces of the die)/(total # of faces on the die)

P(4) = 1/6

(b) P(Even) = (# of times an even is seen on faces of the die)/(total # of faces on the die)

P(Even) = 3/6 or 1/2

(c) P(# > 3) = (# of times a number that is > 3 is seen on faces of the die)/(total # of faces on the die)

P(# > 3) = 3/6 or 1/2
