(b) The number showing is an even number;

(c) The number showing is greater than 5;

4 answers

well, there are 6 possible events.

How many for success in each question?
Is letter c a 3?
first off, any probability is at most 1.

(c)
There is only one number on a die which is greater than 5.

So, of the 6 events, only 1 is a success.

So, p(x>5) = 1/6
Ok, what is b?
