Sagot :

Answer:

1. P= 1/3

2. P = 3/5

3.  P = 7/27

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The number of possible outcomes of a die is 6.  

Now, if we get 4 or 1 on rolling die then the number of favourable outcome is 2.  

Therefore, probability P of getting the number 4 or 1 is:  

P= 2/6 = 1/3

P= 1/3

 

2. There are 20 possible balls you can draw can draw so the denominator will be 20, there are 8 red balls and 4 green balls, so there are 12 balls that fit the requirement of being either red or green.

P = (8+4)/20 = 3/5

3.  13 Heart Cards and 1 Ace of diamond, 54 will be the denominator since there are 54 cards in total.

P = (13+1)/54 = 7/27
