Question

a single fair die is tossed. find the probability of rolling a number greater than 1. what is the total number of possible outcomes? 6 what is the number of outcomes greater than 1? \boxed{}

Explanation:

For the number of outcomes greater than 1:

Step1: Identify die faces

A die has faces 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Step2: Count >1

Numbers >1: 2,3,4,5,6. Count: 5.

Step1: Recall probability formula

Probability $P = \frac{\text{Favorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Outcomes}}$.

Step2: Substitute values

Favorable = 5, Total = 6. So $P = \frac{5}{6}$.

Answer:

5

For the probability of rolling >1:
