A standard number cube is tossed. Find the following probability. P(greater than 4 or odd)
Question
Answer:
A standard cube has 6 possible outcomes. But since we want to find P(4+ or odd), the outcomes become more narrow.So:
6 outcomes -> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
But we want to find 4+
So:
4+ = 4, 5, 6
We also want to find all odd possibilities.
So:
odd = 1, 3, 5
As you can see, there is a 5 in both the 4+ and the odd numbers so 5 will only be counted once.
P(4+ or odd) = 1, 3, 4, 5, 6
So the probability of having an outcome that is P(4+ or odd) is:
5/6 or 0.8333 or 83.33%
