what is the probability of getting a four on a six sided dice?

Question

for homework

Answer 1

Well when you think of it there's only one 4 on the dice so you would only have one chance of getting it out of one roll and this may vary if you roll it so many times and there's more than one 4 on the dice but the answer to this would be 1/6

Answer 2

Assuming the die is properly balanced and has the numbers 1-6 appearing once each on the 6 faces, your chances of rolling any specific number is 1 in 6

Answer 3

The same as getting any other number: 1/6

Answer 4

Assuming that the die are balanced normally, the probability of getting one number is 1 out of 6.

Answer 5

It depends on what numbers are on the die and whether or not the die is 'fair', ie., equal probabilities of landing on any face.

Seriously, be careful about assumptions when doing math problems.

So, assuming the die is fair and has numbers 1 throught 6 on each face.

There's 1 four on the die out of 6 possiblitities:

p( roll 4 on one roll of one fair die) = 1/6.

Answer 6

the odds are 6 to 1

Answer 7

1/6, or .166666...
The possibility of getting any of the individual digits on a six sided die is one out of six.
