Question

1. marvin will roll a standard 6 - sided die. what is the probability that he rolls a number less than

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total outcomes

A standard 6 - sided die has 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

Step2: Identify favorable outcomes

Numbers less than 6 on a 6 - sided die are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. So there are 5 favorable outcomes.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability $P$ of an event is given by the formula $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So $P = \frac{5}{6}$.

Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}$
