P(6 or 8)

Answer 1

To calculate the probability of rolling a 6 or an 8 on a fair six-sided die, we first need to determine the total number of favorable outcomes.

There is only one way to roll a 6 and one way to roll an 8 on a six-sided die. Therefore, there are 2 favorable outcomes.

The total number of possible outcomes when rolling a fair six-sided die is 6 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

So, the probability of rolling a 6 or an 8 is:

P(6 or 8) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
P(6 or 8) = 2 / 6
P(6 or 8) = 1/3

Therefore, the probability of rolling a 6 or an 8 on a fair six-sided die is 1/3.
