When rolling a standard 6-sided die, what is the probability of rolling an odd number?

a. 1/3
b. 1/6
c. 1/2
d. 2/3

1/3

Step-by-step explanation: Probability is the likelihood that an event will happen.

In this problem, we want to find the probability of rolling an odd number on a standard 6-sided die.

To find the probability of rolling an odd number on a 6-sided die, we first have to think about what numbers are on a standard die.

On a standard die, we have 3 odd numbers 1, 3, and 5 and 3 even numbers 2, 4, and 6.

Since there are an equal amount of even numbers and odd numbers on a standard die, we say the probability of rolling an odd number is 3 out of 6 or 3/6 since there are 3 odd numbers and 6 total outcomes we could get. The 6 total outcomes would be all the numbers on the die.

However, we have no 3/6 on the list so we can reduce this fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 3 to get the equivalent fraction 1/3. Remember, always reduce when possible when finding probability.

Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number on a standard 6-sided die is 1/3.

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
