a standard number cube is tossed find the following probability

p(greater than 4 or odd)=
round 3 decimal places

1 answer

First, we need to find the total number of outcomes when rolling a standard number cube. There are 6 possible outcomes (numbers 1-6).

Next, we need to find the number of outcomes where the number rolled is greater than 4 or odd. Numbers greater than 4 on a standard number cube are 5 and 6, and odd numbers are 1, 3, and 5. However, we need to account for the overlap of the number 5 being both greater than 4 and odd.

Number of outcomes where the number is greater than 4 or odd: 5 (5, 6) + 3 (1, 3, 5) - 1 (5) = 7

Probability (p) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes = 7 / 6 = 0.667

Therefore, p(greater than 4 or odd) = 0.667
