Q. You roll a 6-sided die.What is P(prime)?Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.__
Identify Prime Numbers: Identify the prime numbers on a 6-sided die. The prime numbers less than 6 are 2, 3, and 5.
Calculate Favorable Outcomes: Calculate the number of favorable outcomes. There are 3 prime numbers on a 6-sided die, so there are 3 favorable outcomes.
Determine Total Possible Outcomes: Determine the total number of possible outcomes when rolling a die. There are 6 possible outcomes (1,2,3,4,5,6).
Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of rolling a prime number. The probability P(prime) is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.P(prime)=Total number of possible outcomesNumber of favorable outcomesP(prime)=63
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction. The fraction 63 can be simplified to 21 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 3. P(prime)=21
