Q. You roll a 6-sided die.What is P(factor of 24)?Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number._____
Identify Factors of 24: Identify the factors of 24. Factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.
Determine Possible Outcomes: Determine which of these factors are possible outcomes when rolling a 6-sided die.The 6-sided die has sides numbered 1 through 6. Therefore, the factors of 24 that are possible outcomes on the die are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.
Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of rolling a factor of 24. The probability P(factor of 24) is equal to the number of favorable outcomes (which are the factors of 24 that can be rolled) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (which is 6 for a 6-sided die). P(factor of 24)=Total number of possible outcomesNumber of favorable outcomesP(factor of 24)=65
