A number greater than 4 is rolled on a six-sided number cube. What is the probability of the complement of this event? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Sagot :

Answer:    2/3

===========================================================

Explanation:

set A = dice values greater than 4 = {5,6}

set B = dice values 4 or less = {1,2,3,4}

Sets A and B are considered complementary because one or the other must happen. You must either roll something larger than 4 (set A) or you must roll something from set B.

There are 4 items in set B out of 6 possible outcomes. That leads us to the answer 4/6 = 2/3
