What is the probability of rolling a 1 or a 4 on a number cube labeled 1 through 6?

1 Answer

#1/6+1/6=2/6=1/3#

Explanation:

For each number, there is a #1/6# probability of rolling it (so #1/6# for the 1 and also #1/6# for the 4).

This means that the probability of rolling either a 1 or a 4 on a given roll is #1/6+1/6=2/6=1/3#
