Find the odds for and the odds against the event rolling a fair die and getting a 2, a 3, or a 5.

Sagot :

Answer:

The odds for are 50% and the odds against are 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a die, there is 6 possibilities 2, 3, and 5, are 3 of them.

This means there is a 3/6 chance that it will land on one of those numbers, and there is also a 3/6 chance it will land on 1, 4, or 6.

3/6 is equivalent to 50% and 1/2.

So the odds would be 3/6 for and against. If there are only 6 sides to a die, (1,2,3,4,5,6) and you want to get one of 3 out of the 6, then you have a 50% chance of getting what you want.
