When rolling a 6-sided die, the probability of rolling a number less than 1 is
|
|
0
|
|
|
1/6
|
|
|
1
|
|
|
2/6
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Suppose you roll a die, there are six possible outcomes. They are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The probability of getting 1 on die is P(1) = 1/6. Similarly, the probability of getting 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 is also 1/6.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each is equally likely (assuming a perfect die). The probability of rolling less than 7 is equal to the probability of rolling 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6. That is 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 6/6.
Detailed explanation-3: -A fair 6-sided die gives you a ^^1^^/==6== (or ca. 16.7%) probability of rolling any of its numbers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: To get a number less than 4 on a die, 3/6 is the probability.
