The numbers less than 3 are 1 and 2, so there are two possible outcomes out of six. Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 3 is 2/6 or 1/3.
The numbers not less than 3 are 3, 4, 5, and 6. There are four possible outcomes out of six. Therefore, the probability of not rolling a number less than 3 is 4/6 or 2/3.
Answer: A) 1/3;2/3

A number cupe is rolled 360 times and the results are recorded as follows: 54 ones, 60 twos, 66 threes, 71 fours, 35 fives, and 74 sixes. What is the experimental probability of rolling a two or a three?
A 0.15
B 0.1
C 0.35
D 0.65
A 0.15
B 0.1
C 0.35
D 0.65
The number of times a two or a three is rolled is the sum of the number of twos and the number of threes, which is 60 + 66 = 126. The total number of rolls is 360. Therefore, the experimental probability of rolling a two or a three is 126/360 or 0.35.
Answer: C) 0.35
Answer: C) 0.35
