Chapter 13, Problem 8GRFC

To determine

To calculate; to find the probability of given outcome ,when a die is rolled.

Answer to Problem 8GRFC

Solution: $P\left(greaterthan1\right)=\frac{5}{6}orabout83\%$

Explanation of Solution

There are 5 numbers on a die greater than 1: $2,3,4,5and6$

There are 6 possible outcomes: $1,2,3,4,5and6$

  $\begin{array}{l}P\left(greaterthan1\right)=\frac{numberoffavorableoutcomes}{numberofpossibleoutcomes}\\ =\frac{5}{6}\end{array}$
