There are nine possible successes:

1 - 5

5 - 1

2 - 4

4 - 2

3 - 3

3 - 6

6 - 3

4 - 5

5 - 4

The probability of success = 9/36 = 0.25 = 25%

Are the probability values always greater than or equal to 0 or less than or equal to 1 or all positive numbers?

Probability values are never negative and are always between 0-1 according to the definition Probability of A= Number of outcomes classified as A/Total number of possible outcomes


What is the probability of rolling and odd number on one toss of a number cube?

On a typical 6-sided number cube, there are three odd numbers (1, 3, 5) and three even numbers (2, 4, 6). Therefore, there are three outcomes that are desired out of a total of six possible outcomes. 3/6 = 1/2, so your probability is 1 in 2 or 50%.


What is the probability of rolling 2 dice whose sum is a prime?

All possible outcomes: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 All possible outcomes that are prime: 2,3,5,7,11 All possible rolls that are one of these prime numbers: --1-2-3-4-5-6 1.*.*....*....* 2.*....*....*... 3....*....*...... 4.*....*......... 5....*..........* 6.*..........*... So we count 15 possible ways to make a prime number. P = (# of correct outcomes) / (# of total possible outcomes) P = 15 / (6*6) = 0.416667 or 5/12


A single fair die is rolled what is the probability that either an even or an odd number is rolled?

1.00 or 100%. Look at the possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. In this range, what are the even numbers: 2, 4, 6. What are the odd: 1, 3, 5. So the set of (even or odd) numbers is the union of odd numbers and even numbers. This is the same as the set of possible outcomes. Therefore it will happen, so 100 percent chance (or 1.00)


What is the probability of getting an even number when throwing a die?

Divide the number of possible even numbers by all the possible numbers. So there are three possible even numbers; 2, 4 & 6. And there are six possible numbers; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6. So the probability of throwing an even number is 3/6 = .5 .

What is the formula of probability?

There is no single formula of probability. The probability of a simple event in a trial is a measure of all outcomes which result in the event, expressed as a proportion of all possible outcomes.If all the outcomes have the same probability then it is the ratio of the number of "favourable" outcomes to the total outcomes. However, the definition based on numbers fails if they are not equi-probable.


Are the probability values always greater than or equal to 0 or less than or equal to 1 or all positive numbers?

Probability values are never negative and are always between 0-1 according to the definition Probability of A= Number of outcomes classified as A/Total number of possible outcomes


If a code contains 4 letters and 2 numbers how many possible outcomes are there?

If the numbers and letters can be repeated then there are 45,697,600 possible outcomes. If the letters and numbers can not be repeated there are 32,292,000 possible outcomes.


What is the probability that the number of dot cube rolled will be less than seven?

When rolling a standard six-sided die, the possible outcomes are the numbers 1 through 6. Since all outcomes are less than 7, the probability that the number rolled is less than 7 is 100%. Thus, the probability is 1 or 100%.


What is the probability a1-6 number cube lands between 2 and 5?

When rolling a standard six-sided number cube (die), the possible outcomes are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The numbers that fall between 2 and 5 are 3 and 4, which gives us 2 favorable outcomes. Since there are 6 possible outcomes in total, the probability of rolling a number between 2 and 5 is 2 out of 6, or simplified, 1/3.


How many possible outcomes of rolling a ten-sided die?

If the numbers (or symbols) are all different then 10 outcomes.


What is the probability of getting a multiple of 3?

The answer depends on the domain. If the selection is made from any real or rational numbers, the probability is 0. If the domain is all integers (or all positive integers) then the probability is 1/3. If it is some other subset of integers, then the answer is a rational number between 0 and 1/3.


What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a die?

There are 6 possible numbers that can be rolled. "4" is one of those possible numbers. Probability is therefore 1/6.


Deb spins an eight sided spinning top The spinning top has the numbers one through painted on its faces What are the odds that on the next spin a 1 3 or 5 will appear?

We assume the faces are marked with the numbers ' 1 ' through ' 8 '.Total number of possible outcomes = 8Number of successful outcomes = 3If the top is balanced, honest, and random, then . . .Probability of a successful outcome = (3/8) = 37.5 percent.Odds = 5 to 3 against it.


When a Die is thrown then the probability of an event getting out-comes is not a prime number is what?

When a Die is thrown then the probability of an event getting out-comes is not a prime number is 3/6. The possible prime numbers would be 2, 3, or 5. The possible outcomes are 1, 2,3,4,5 and 6. So 1,4 and 6 are not primes and there are 3 numbers out of 6 possible so that is 3/6 or p=.5


What is the probability of rolling and odd number on one toss of a number cube?

On a typical 6-sided number cube, there are three odd numbers (1, 3, 5) and three even numbers (2, 4, 6). Therefore, there are three outcomes that are desired out of a total of six possible outcomes. 3/6 = 1/2, so your probability is 1 in 2 or 50%.


What is the probability of rolling a number less than 7 on a 6-sided number cube labeled 1-6?

On a 6-sided number cube labeled 1-6, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Since all these numbers are less than 7, all 6 outcomes are favorable. Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 7 is 6 favorable outcomes out of 6 possible outcomes, which simplifies to 1 or 100%.
