Question

how ti find probability

Answer 1

To find the probability of an event, you can use the following formula:

Probability (Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes

1. Determine the total number of possible outcomes for the event.
2. Determine the number of favorable outcomes that meet the condition of the event.
3. Divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes to get the probability.

Example:
If you want to find the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die:
1. Total number of outcomes = 6 (numbers 1-6)
2. Number of favorable outcomes = 1 (rolling a 5)
3. Probability of rolling a 5 = 1/6 or approximately 16.67%

You can also calculate the probability of an event using the frequency of its occurrence over a given number of trials or using a probability distribution function if the event follows a specific distribution.

Answer 2

what if it was rolling a 1 then a 6 how could i find the probability of that

Answer 3

To find the probability of rolling a 1 and then a 6 (in that specific order) on a six-sided die, you need to multiply the individual probabilities of rolling a 1 and rolling a 6.

The probability of rolling a 1 on a six-sided die is 1/6 (as there is one favorable outcome out of six total outcomes).

The probability of rolling a 6 on a six-sided die is also 1/6.

To find the probability of rolling a 1 and then a 6, you multiply the individual probabilities:

P(rolling a 1 and then a 6) = P(rolling a 1) * P(rolling a 6)
= (1/6) * (1/6)
= 1/36

Therefore, the probability of rolling a 1 and then a 6 on a six-sided die is 1/36 or approximately 2.78%.
