To determine the probability \( p \) of an event and express it as a percentage when rolling a 6-sided die, we first need to clarify what event we are considering.
For example, if you want to find the probability of rolling a specific number (like rolling a 3), the probability \( p \) would be:
\[
p = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total possible outcomes}} = \frac{1}{6}
\]
To express this probability as a percentage:
\[
p \text{ (in percent)} = \frac{1}{6} \times 100 \approx 16.67\%
\]
Now, if you want \( p \) to be a factor of 24 expressed as a percentage, let's list the factors of 24, which are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
Expressing these factors as percentages of the total outcomes with a 6-sided die:
- Factor 1: \( \frac{1}{6} \times 100 \approx 16.67\% \)
- Factor 2: \( \frac{2}{6} \times 100 \approx 33.33\% \)
- Factor 3: \( \frac{3}{6} \times 100 = 50\% \)
- Factor 4: \( \frac{4}{6} \times 100 \approx 66.67\% \)
- Factor 6: \( \frac{6}{6} \times 100 = 100\% \)
The factors 8, 12, and 24 cannot apply to a 6-sided die since the maximum outcome is 6.
Thus, valid percentages \( p \) that are factors of 24 and related to rolling a 6-sided die include approximately \( 16.67\% \), \( 33.33\% \), \( 50\% \), \( 66.67\% \), and \( 100\% \).
