Question

A single standerd number cube is tossed what is the proability of getting a 4 or a 5? A:1
B: 1/5
C: 1/3
D: 1/6

Answer 1

can u explain why?

Answer 2

D: 1/6

Answer 3

Sure!

A standard number cube has 6 faces, each numbered 1 through 6. The probability of getting a 4 or a 5 can be found by adding the probability of getting a 4 to the probability of getting a 5.

The probability of getting a 4 is 1/6, since there is only one face with a 4 out of the 6 faces total.

The probability of getting a 5 is also 1/6, since there is only one face with a 5 out of the 6 faces total.

Adding these probabilities together, we get:

1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6

Simplifying this fraction, we get:

2/6 = 1/3

So the probability of getting a 4 or a 5 is 1/3, making answer choice C correct.
