Question

A number cube with the numbers 1 through 6 is rolled. Find the given probability.
P(number < 2)
A. start fraction 1 over 6 end fraction
B. start fraction 2 over 6 end fraction
C. The fraction is four-sixths.
D. three-sixths

Answer 1

The only number which is less than 2 on the number cube is 1. Since there are 6 equally likely outcomes when rolling the number cube, the probability of rolling a number less than 2 is the probability of rolling a 1, which is 1/6.

So the answer is A. start fraction 1 over 6 end fraction.
