Chapter 0, Problem 58PRT

To determine

To find: the probability of rolling any number that is multiple of 5of the given condition.

Answer to Problem 58PRT

  $P\left(\text{rolling a multiple of 5}\right)=\frac{1}{6}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given condition is:

A die is rolled.

Calculation:

According to the dice,

Total number of possible outcomes is 6.

i.e. $\left\{1,2,3,4,5,6\right\}$number of possible outcomes that is multiple of 5 is $1\left\{\text{i}\text{.e}\text{.}5\right\}$

Therefore, the probability of rolling that is multiple of 5is $P\left(\text{rolling a multiple of 5}\right)=\frac{1}{6}$

Hence, $P\left(\text{rolling a multiple of 5}\right)=\frac{1}{6}$ .
