On a six-sided die, each side has a number between 1 and 6. What is the probability of throwing a 3 or a 4?1 in 61 in 31 in 21 in 4
Correct answer: 1 in 3.Explanation:On a six-sided die, the probability of throwing any number is 1 in 6. The probability of throwing a 3 or a 4 is double that, or 2 in 6. This can be simplified by dividing both 2 and 6 by 2.Therefore, the probability of throwing either a 3 or 4 is 1 in 3.
The probability of throwing a 3 or a 4 on a six-sided die can be computed by adding the probability of throwing a 3 to the probability of throwing a 4.
Each side of the die has an equal chance of being rolled, so the probability of throwing any particular number is 1/6.
Therefore, the probability of throwing a 3 or a 4 is:
P(3 or 4) = P(3) + P(4)
P(3 or 4) = 1/6 + 1/6
P(3 or 4) = 2/6
P(3 or 4) = 1/3
So, the probability of throwing a 3 or a 4 is 1 in 3 or 33.3% (rounded to one decimal place).
