Chapter 0.3, Problem 1E

To determine

To find Probability of outcome where number on dice is less than 3

Answer to Problem 1E

  $P=\frac{1}{3}$

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: A die is rolled

Formula Used : $P=\frac{PossibleOutcomes}{TotalOutcomes}$

Calculation:

When a die is rolled the total number of outcomes is 6.

To find the probability of outcome where no. is less than 3, the possible outcomes will be 2 i.e. 1 and 2.

  $P\left(lessthan3\right)=\frac{PossibleOutcomes}{TotalOutcomes}$

So-

  $P=\frac{2}{6}$

Hence the final answer is,

  $P=\frac{1}{3}$
