With a standard 6 faced die, numbered 1 through 6, there are three odd numbers, 1, 3, and 5, of which 3 and 5 are prime, and there is one even prime, 2. The probability, then, of rolling an odd number which is prime is 1 in 3, i.e. 3 or 5 out of a possible result set of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

What is the theoretical probability of rolling an odd number?

The probability of rolling an odd number on a standard die is 3 in 6, or 1 in 2, or 0.5.


What is the probability of rolling an odd number three times?

The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6 (or rather, 1/2), so the probability of rolling an odd number three times in a row is 1/2^3 is 1/8 or 12.5%.


Rolling three dice what is the probability of rolling an odd number?

The probability that, when rolling three dice none will come up odd is broken down by the probability that on odd roll will occur as an independent event. Rolling the first die has a probability of 3/6 that it will be odd. Rolling the second has the probability of 3/6 that it will be odd. Rolling the third has a probability of 3/6 will be odd. Rolling three and coming up with odd is really the probability that no odd numbers occurred, so therefore an even number DID happen (3/6), and an even number DID happen (3/6), and an even number DID happen (3/6). That's really just 1 - (3/6^3) or simplified 1 - (1/2^3). So therefore the probability that an odd number occurred in 3 die rolls is about 87.5%.


What is the probability of rolling a 12 sided die and it landing on a prime number or an odd number?

In probability questions, the word "or" means add. Assuming the numbers are 1-12, the prime numbers would be 1, 2, 3, 7, and 11. The odd numbers are 1, 3 , 5, 7, 9, and 11. You don't add duplicates when determining probability, so all your options for a prime number or an odd number are 1,2,3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. This means there are 7/12 that are prime or odd, or a probability of 0.5833.

What is the question of the problem if rolling a number cube labeled from 1 to 6 and the probability is one half?

There could be many questions: What is the probability of rolling an even number. What is the probability of rolling an odd number. What is the probability of rolling a number less than 4. What is the probability of rolling a number more than 3. What is the probability of rolling 1,4, or 6. Basically it could be any question about the probability of rolling half of the faces.


What is the probability of rolling an odd number or a prime number less than 6 on a single roll of a fair twelve-sided die?

Odd- 3/12 ---> 1/4 Prime- 3/12 ---> 1/4 They are the same


What is the probability of rolling a 4 or an odd number on a die?

The probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6. (There are 6 numbers one of which is "4")The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6 = 1/2 (There are 6 numbers 3 of which are odd)Thus, in one roll of the die, the odds of rolling a 4 oran odd number = 1/6 + 3/6 = 4/6 = 2/3.

What is the probability of rolling an odd number and a head when rolling a die and then tossing a coin?

The probability of a head is 1/2. The probability of an odd number is 1/2. 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 or 0.25
