Q. You roll a 6-sided die.What is P(5 or odd)?Choices:(A) 74(B) 34(C) 21(D) 54
Identify outcomes: Identify the total outcomes and favorable outcomes.A 6-sided die has numbers 1 through 6. Odd numbers on the die are 1, 3, and 5. Since 5 is also an odd number, it's counted once.Favorable outcomes for rolling a 5 or an odd number: 1, 3, 5.Total outcomes: 6.
Calculate probability: Calculate the probability.Number of favorable outcomes: 3 (1, 3, 5).Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total outcomes = 63 = 21.
