There are 6 possible outcomes when rolling a single, six-sided die: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
There are 3 odd numbers: 1, 3, and 5.
There are 5 numbers less than 6: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
To find the probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 6, we need to find the total number of favorable outcomes, which is the combination of the odd numbers and the numbers less than 6. In this case, there are 1, 3, 5, and 2, 4, 5, which means there are 6 favorable outcomes.
The probability is then favorable outcomes divided by total outcomes, which is 6/6.
Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 6 is 1.
A single, six-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 6.
