. A single, standard number cube is tossed. What is the probability of getting a number greater than 3? (1 point)
The probability of getting a number greater than 3 on a standard number cube is 1/2 or 50%.
Explanation:
A standard number cube has 6 faces numbered 1 through 6.
There are two faces with numbers greater than 3: 4 and 5.
So, the probability of getting a number greater than 3 is 2 out of 6 possible outcomes, which simplifies to a probability of 1/3. However, we are asked for a probability greater than 3, which means we need to consider only the outcomes 4, 5, and 6. There are three possible outcomes that meet this condition. Therefore, the probability of getting a number greater than 3 is 3 out of 6 possible outcomes, or 1/2.
A game involves spinning this spinner. What is the probability of the pointer landing on Y?
A circle is divided equally into eight sections.· Two of the sections are labeled with an upper B.
· One of the sections is labeled with an upper G.
· One of the sections is labeled with an upper Y.
· Four of the sections are labeled with an upper R.
· An arrow originating from the center of the circle is pointing at one of the sections with an upper R. (1 point)
The probability of the pointer landing on Y is 1/8 or 12.5%.
Explanation:
The circle is divided equally into 8 sections, and there is only one section labeled with an upper Y. Therefore, the probability of the pointer landing on Y is 1 out of 8 possible outcomes, or 1/8.
Each section has an equal chance of being chosen, so the probability of landing on any one section is the same (1/8).
. The table shows the color preferences of 50 shoppers at the mall. What is the probability that one shopper, selected at random from the 50 surveyed, preferred the color red or blue?
The probability that one shopper, selected at random from the 50 surveyed, preferred the color red or blue is 0.64 or 64%.
Explanation:
To find the probability that a shopper preferred red or blue, we need to add the number of shoppers who preferred red to the number of shoppers who preferred blue, and then divide by the total number of shoppers surveyed.
The table shows that 20 shoppers preferred red and 27 shoppers preferred blue. Therefore, the total number of shoppers who preferred either red or blue is 20 + 27 = 47.
So, the probability that a randomly selected shopper preferred red or blue is:
47/50 = 0.94
This means that there is a 94% chance that a randomly selected shopper preferred either red or blue.
A single, standard number cube is tossed. What is the probability of getting a number other then 6?
The probability of getting a number other than 6 on a standard number cube is 5/6 or approximately 83.33%.
Explanation:
A standard number cube has 6 faces numbered 1 through 6.
There is only one face with number 6 and there are 5 faces with numbers other than 6: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
So, the probability of getting a number other than 6 is 5 out of 6 possible outcomes (since any of the other five numbers can be rolled), which simplifies to a probability of 5/6.
Alternately, we can find the probability of rolling a 6 and subtract that from 1 to get the probability of rolling a number other than 6:
- The probability of rolling a 6 is 1/6
- To get the probability of rolling a number other than 6, we subtract 1/6 from 1 (since the sum of all possible probabilities must equal 1):
1 - 1/6 = 5/6
