probability

[kritty]

Lee rolls a die. Waht is the probability of rolling an even number in lowest terms.

so the probability is 3 out of 6 3/6 of rolling an even number so reducing would have to be 1/3???

 

[arthur ohlsten]

number no of ways to roll
2 1
3 2
4 3
5 4
6 5
7 6
8 5
9 4
10 3
11 2
12 1

no of ways to roll a even number= 1+3+5+5+3+1
no of ways= 18
total no of possible results =36
prob of even =1/2

C'mon, kritty; 3/6 = 1/2 : how in heck did you get 1/3 ?
