Example Question #62 : How To Find The Probability Of An Outcome
In a dice game, what is the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die?
To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:
So, in the event of rolling an odd number on a dice, we can determine the number of times that event can happen. So,
because there are 3 odd numbers on a dice:
- 1
- 3
- 5
Now, we can determine the total number of possible outcomes. We get
because there are 6 different outcomes we can get when rolling the dice:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
Knowing all of this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
and we simplify.
Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number on a dice is .
Example Question #63 : How To Find The Probability Of An Outcome
In a dice game, what is the probability of rolling an even number on one roll of a six-sided die?
To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:
So, if we look at the event of rolling an even number on a dice, we can determine the following:
because there are 3 ways we can roll an even number on a dice:
- 2
- 4
- 6
because there are 6 possible numbers we can roll:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
Knowing all of this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Now, we simplify.
Therefore, the probability of rolling an even number on a dice is .
Example Question #111 : Statistics & Probability
In a dice game, what is the probability of rolling a multiple of 3 on a six-sided die?
To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:
Now, given the event of rolling a multiple of 3 on a dice, we can determine the following.
because there are 2 multiples of 3 on a dice:
- 3
- 6
Now, we can also determine the following:
because there are 6 different numbers we could potentially roll:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Therefore, the probability of rolling a multiple of 3 on a dice is
Example Question #61 : Probability
In a dice game, what is the probability of rolling a factor of 5 on a six-sided die?
To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:
Now, given the event of rolling a factor of 5, we can calculate the following.
because there are 2 factors of 5 on a dice:
- 1
- 5
We can also calculate the following.
because there are 6 different possible numbers we can roll on a dice:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Therefore, the probability of rolling a factor of 5 on a dice is .
Example Question #65 : Probability
In a dice game, what is the probability of rolling a multiple of 2 on a six-sided die?
To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:
Now, given the event of rolling a multiple of 2, we can calculate the following.
because there are 3 multiples of 2 on a dice:
- 2
- 4
- 6
We can also calculate the following.
because there are 6 different possible numbers we can roll on a dice:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Therefore, the probability of rolling a multiple of 2 on a dice is .
Example Question #66 : Probability
In a dice game, what is the probability of rolling a factor of 2 on a six-sided die?
To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:
Now, given the event of rolling a factor of 2 on a dice, we can calculate the following.
because there are 2 factors of 2 on a dice:
- 1
- 2
Now, we can calculate he following.
because there are 6 possible numbers we could potentially roll on a dice:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Therefore, the probability of rolling a factor of 2 on a dice is .
Example Question #571 : Data Analysis And Probability
In a dice game, what is the probability of rolling a factor of 6 on a six-sided die?
To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:
Now, given the event of rolling a factor of 6 on a dice, we can calculate the following:
because there are 4 factors of 6 on a dice:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 6
Now, we can calculate the following:
because there are 6 possible outcomes we could potentially get when rolling a dice:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Therefore, the probability of rolling a factor of 6 on a dice is .
Example Question #1 : Ratio And Proportion
What is the least common multiple of 5, 12, and 15?
You can write out the multiples of each number, and find the first number that is common to all of them.
5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60
12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60
15: 15, 30, 45, 60
The correct answer is 60.
Example Question #2 : Ratio And Proportion
What is the greatest common factor of 12, 24 and 96?
To find the greatest common factor of three numbers, first factor each number as a product of prime numbers:
Now take all of the factors that are in common between 12, 24 and 96. In this case, that is 2, 2 and 3.
Example Question #882 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
Logan needs to answer 60 questions to finish his test. If he has answered 25% of the questions in 20 minutes, how long will it take him to complete the entire test?
To solve:
First, find the number of answers completed by calculating:
Then, find how long it would take him to complete the 60 question test if for every 20 minutes he answer 15 questions:
(sets of 15 questions)
minutes altogether to finish the test.
