Question

I know this is probabley really easy but the dcimal thing is throwing me.

You are rolling one six-sided dice. Assume that there is equal probability of each side landing face-up. Answer the following questions

a. What is the probability of rolling a 2 as a decimal?

b. What is the probability of rolling a 2,3,4 as a percentage?

c. What is the probability of rolling an odd number as a relative frequency

d. What is the compliment of rolling a 5 or 6?

e. Using the multiplication rule of probability, what is the probability of rolling 2 6s in a row?

Explanation / Answer

A) Probability of rolling a 2 = 1/6 = 0.1667

B) Probability of rolling 2,3,4 = 3/6 = 0.5 = 0.5x100% =50%

C) Probability of rolling an odd number = 3/6 = 1/2

D) complement of rolling 5 or 6 = 1-probability of rolling 5 or 6 = 1-2/6 = 4/6 = 2/3

E) Probability of rolling 2 6s in a row = 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36
