Q. You roll a 6-sided die.What is P(even or less than 6)?Choices:(A) 50%(B) 130%(C) 100%(D) 80%
Identify outcomes: Identify the total outcomes and favorable outcomes. A 6-sided die has numbers 1 through 6. Even numbers on the die are 2, 4, and 6. Numbers less than 6 are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 11.
Calculate union: Calculate the union of the two sets (even numbers and numbers less than 6). The union set is \{1,2,3,4,5,6\} because all numbers on the die are either even or less than 6.
Count outcomes: Count the number of favorable outcomes. There are 6 numbers in the union set.
Calculate probability: Calculate the probability. Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total outcomes = 66=1 or 100%.
