Question

A six-sided cube is rolled. Find the probability of P (6).


Choose the best answer from the options below:
A 16.6%
B 15.5%
C 14.4%
D 13.3%

Answer 1

To find the probability of rolling a 6 on a six-sided die, we note that there is one favorable outcome (rolling a 6) out of a total of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

The probability \( P(6) \) can be calculated using the formula:

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

To convert this into a percentage, we perform the following calculation:

\[
P(6) \approx \frac{1}{6} \times 100\% \approx 16.67\%
\]

Thus, the closest answer to this percentage from the available options is:

**A 16.6%**.
