A standard six-sided die is rolled once. What is the probability of getting a number greater than 4?
Hint
The favourable outcomes are 5 and 6.
Answer
1/3.
Explanation
There are two favourable outcomes out of six possible outcomes: 5 and 6. Thus probability = 2/6 = 1/3.
Step-by-Step Solution
Favourable = {5,6} = 2.
Total = 6.
Probability = 2/6 = 1/3.
Total = 6.
Probability = 2/6 = 1/3.
