A die is rolled. Find the odds for rolling a 5 or even number?
What I figured this to be was wrong. I had 4 choices: 1to 2, 4 to 6, 4 to 2 or last 5 to 1.
I figured 4 to 6 and was wrong. Help! You have 2/3 success?
 
1 - No
2 - Yes
3 - No
4 - Yes
5 - Yes
6 - Yes

4/6 = 2/3
 
Well on my test I put the answer to be 4 to 6 and they marked it wrong?
How could it be 1 to 2 or 4 to 2 or 5 to 1????
 
Right. I missed that. Odds and probabilities are not the same.

Probability 4/6
Odds 4 to 2
