Question

A six-sided cube is rolled. Find the probability of P (4).


Choose the best answer from the options below:
A 0.111
B 0.222
C 0.155
D 0.166

Answer 1

To find the probability of rolling a 4 on a six-sided die (cube), we need to consider the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.

A six-sided die has 6 faces, numbered 1 through 6. When you roll the die, there is one favorable outcome (rolling a 4) out of a total of 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

So, the probability \( P(4) \) can be calculated as:

\[
P(4) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{1}{6} \approx 0.1667
\]

Rounding to three decimal places gives approximately 0.167.

Among the choices provided, the best answer would be:
D 0.166.
