Question

A number cube labeled with number 1,2,3,4,5,6 is tossed. What is the odds of the cube showing a number less than 3?

Answer 1

`P("less than "3)=1/3`

Explanation:

There are `6` possible outcomes
of these `2` outcomes (a "1" or a "2") are less than "3"

The probability of an outcome less than "3" is `2` out of `6`,
which may be written as `2/6=1/3`
