Meiling and Jackie are playing a game of chance with a six-sided number cube. The sides of the cube are numbered 1 to 6. Meiling scores a point each time she rolls a number greater than 4.
Which would give Jackie an ,begin emphasis,equally likely,end emphasis, chance for a point?
A.Jackie rolls a number that is greater than 2.
B.Jackie rolls a number that is less than 2.
C.Jackie rolls a number that is greater than 3.
D.Jackie rolls a number that is less than 3.
E.Jackie rolls a number that is less than 4.
i think its A
Somebody please give me a answer, a b struggling
It’s D because it’s a six sided number cube and there is two numbers greater than 4 which is 5 and 6. An equally likely chance would be less than three because if she rolls a two or a one she can score a point. It would be equally likely because they both have two possible chances to roll two numbers to score a point. Therefore the answer is D. Hope that helped
Can y’all just give me the answer.
Jackie rolls a number that is less than 3
Yes, that's correct. Jackie has an equally likely chance for a point if she rolls a number less than 3 because there are two numbers less than 3 (1 and 2) and each of them has an equal chance of being rolled.
To determine which option gives Jackie an equally likely chance for a point, we need to analyze the probabilities of each outcome.
There are six equally likely outcomes when rolling a six-sided number cube: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Meiling only scores a point when rolling a number greater than 4.
A. Jackie rolls a number that is greater than 2: In this case, the possible outcomes for Jackie are 3, 4, 5, and 6. Out of these four options, two (5 and 6) would give Jackie a point. So the probability of Jackie getting a point is 2/4, which simplifies to 1/2.
B. Jackie rolls a number that is less than 2: Here, the only possible outcome for Jackie is 1. Since 1 is not greater than 4, Jackie won't earn a point.
C. Jackie rolls a number that is greater than 3: In this scenario, the potential outcomes for Jackie are 4, 5, and 6. All three of these options would give Jackie a point, so the probability of Jackie scoring is 3/3, which simplifies to 1.
D. Jackie rolls a number that is less than 3: Here, the possible outcomes for Jackie are 1 and 2. Neither of these options is greater than 4, so Jackie won't earn a point.
E. Jackie rolls a number that is less than 4: In this case, the potential outcomes for Jackie are 1, 2, and 3. Again, none of these options are greater than 4, so Jackie won't receive a point.
From the analysis above, we can conclude that option C (Jackie rolls a number that is greater than 3) gives Jackie an equally likely chance for a point, as both outcomes (getting a point or not) are equally likely.
There are 2 numbers greater than 4
So, of the choices given, which has exactly 2 possibilities?
Hint. It's not A. There are 4 numbers greater than 2.
