In Exercises 11–16, a die is rolled. Find the probability of getting a 4.

Accepted Answer

Hello. Everybody in this video. We're going to be looking at this practice problem where we want to find the probability of getting a two when a die is rolled. So with getting started with this problem let's think about the possible outcomes that can happen when we roll a die. So when we roll a die die is a six sided. And each side equates to the numbers one through six. So that means that the dye can land on a one A two a three A four a five Or a six. So that means that there's six total outcomes that could occur. And for this problem we care about only one getting a two. So you can see that the dye can only land on a 21 time. So there's one outcome Where we get a. two. So in order to determine the probability of getting a two. We need to divide the number of favorable outcomes by the number of total outcomes. So we've already determined that there's only one outcome where we get a two. So that is the number of favorable outcomes. So we'll have one divided by the number of total outcomes which once again we've determined to be six. So now we have the probability of getting a tube when it dies rolled is one divided by six Or one in 6 chances of getting a two. So this becomes our final answer. And you can see that that aligns with answer choice D. So hopefully this video helped and see you next time
