A standard number cube with the numbers 1 through 6 is rolled. Find the probability of rolling a number greater than 5.

Answer 1

There is only one number greater than 5 on a standard number cube, and that is 6. Therefore, the probability of rolling a number greater than 5 is:

P(rolling a number greater than 5) = P(rolling a 6) = 1/6

So the probability is 1/6.
