What is the probability of rolling two dice and the sum is greater than 8?
The probability of rolling a number greater than 8 on one roll of a pair of dice is 0.277777.... Let's see how we get that probability, and, though it may be a little long winded, it's important to understand what's going on.With one roll of a pair of dice, we have 36 possible outcomes. They are 1-1, 1-2, 1-3,..., 6-4, 6-5, 6-6. To roll a number greater than 8, we have to roll a 9, 10, 11, or 12. There are 10 ways to roll one of those numbers. We could see 3-6, 4-5, 5-4, or 6-3 (to make 9), or 4-6, 5-5, or 6-4 (to make 10), or 5-6 or 6-5 (to make 11), or 6-6 to make 12. That's a total of 10 probable outcomes yielding a number greater than 8. As there are 36 possible outcomes, and 10 yield our required number, the odds of rolling a number greater than 8 are 10 in 36, or 5 in 18 (which is 10 divided by 36 reduced). To discover the probability of a number greater than 8, we need to divide the 10 by 36, and this gives us 0.277777.... as that probability.Note that the question asked for the probability of the given event, and not the odds. Probability is different from "the odds" of something happening when we consider the mathematics, and the two must be distunguished. We note that the odds "appear" when we calculte probability, but the two are different. There is one more idea.The probability of something happening is a number that is the ratio of the number of times that a given outcome will appear divided by the number of all possible outcomes. With dice, the number of all the combinations that can come up is 36. That means the probability of rolling any number is the number of times that the number can come up divided by all the possble combinations, or that 36.All probabilities range between zero (0) and one (1), inclusive. If something cannot happen, the probability of it happening is zero. Like rolling a 13 with one roll of the dice. If the probability of something happening, it will happen. Like rolling an odd or an even number with one roll of the dice. All the possible combinations are odd or even, so the probability of rolling an odd or an even number is one. You will get one or the other.
If you were spin a spinner numbered 1-10 what would is the probability of getting an odd number?
It is 0.5
What is the probability of getting a number greater than 0 when rolling a single die once?
Well, honey, unless that die is rigged or magical, the probability of getting a number greater than 0 when rolling it once is 100%. I mean, unless you manage to roll a negative number or a zero, but then we'd have bigger problems to deal with than just probabilities.
Which number is greater .1 or .8?
The number .8 is greater than .1. In decimal notation, the leftmost digit holds the highest place value, so in this case, the 8 in .8 is in the tenths place, while the 1 in .1 is in the hundredths place. Therefore, .8 is 8 tenths, which is greater than .1, which is 1 tenth.
What is the probability that you will pick an odd number or a number greater than 13 from 1 to 20?
It is 14/20 or 7/10.
What is the probability that the number rolled will be greater that 4?
The probability that the number rolled, on a fair, six sided die, will be greater than 4 is 1/3.The probability that the number rolled, on a fair, six sided die, will be greater than 4 is 1/3.The probability that the number rolled, on a fair, six sided die, will be greater than 4 is 1/3.The probability that the number rolled, on a fair, six sided die, will be greater than 4 is 1/3.
On a wheel numbered from 1 to 8 what is the probability of picking a number factor greater than 10?
If the only numbers to pick from are 1 through 8, how can you get a factor greater than 10?
Can 47.9 be a probability?
No, the number is greater than 1.
What is the probability 10?
Probability = 10 is a very serious mistake since the probability of any event can never be greater than 1: so a probability of 10 is obviously a big error.
What is the probability of rolling a number greater the 4?
1/3
When 1 dice is thrown what is the probability of getting a number greater than 4?
the probability is 2/6 or 1/3
Can the probability of an outcome be greater that one?
No. The probability of an outcome (or event) is always a number between 0 and 1.
Can a probability be greater than 1?
A probability can never be greater than 1.
