Answer:
The probability of getting a 4 or a 5 = [tex]\frac{1}{3\frac{1}{3} }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A single standard number cube is tossed.
The standard cube named 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Therefore, the sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
That is, the total number of possible outcomes = 6
We have to find the probability of getting a 4 or a 5.
Therefore, the favorable outcomes are = {4, or 5} = 2
We know that the probability of an event = The number of favorable outcomes / The total number of possible outcomes.
Now plug in the numerical values in the above formula.
The probability of getting a 4 or a 5 = [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex]
We can simplify this probability.
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get
The probability of getting a 4 or a 5 = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
