|
|
|
5/6
|
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -so the probability will be 1/2 of getting an even number. Hence, the probability of getting an even number by rolling dice is 0.5.
Detailed explanation-2: -Then the probability of an event is the number of outcomes in the event divided by the number of possible, equally likely outcomes. For example, the probability of rolling an even number on a 6-sided die is 3/6 = 1/2.
Detailed explanation-3: -Summary: Using a six-sided die, the probability of rolling either a 5 or a 6 is 1/3.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
