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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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

 

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 100

\dpi{100} 120

\dpi{100} 60

\dpi{100} 24

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 60

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 6

\dpi{100} 3

\dpi{100} 4

\dpi{100} 12

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 12

Explanation:

To find the greatest common factor of three numbers, first factor each number as a product of prime numbers:

\dpi{100} 96: 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3

\dpi{100} 24: 2\times 2\times 2\times 3

\dpi{100} 12: 2\times 2\times 3

 

Now take all of the factors that are in common between 12, 24 and 96.  In this case, that is 2, 2 and 3.

\dpi{100} 2\times 2\times 3=12
