Asked by Patrick

Use the complement to find each probability.

What is the probability of not rolling a 5 on a standard number cube?

My answer is 1/6 since there are 6 faces
Is this correct and if not can you explain on how to do this?

Thank you

Think about it. If you rolled the number cube, you'd probably NOT get a 5.

The probability is 0 then

The probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6 1 out of 6.
They are saying to figure out the complement. What do they mean by this?
Answered by Ms. Sue
I'm not sure. But the probability of not rolling a 5 is 5/6

Hello Ms. Sue. I looked at website now that gave me more of an explanation. Complement is the opposite so 5 out of 6 would be the answer.
