Question

When rolling a fair, six-sided die, what is the probability of getting a number higher than 2?

Answer 1

`2/3`

Explanation:

we want `P(X>2)`

for a fair die the sample space is`" "{1,2,3,4,5,6}`

all the numbers are equiprobable

there are `" "4" "` numbers greater than 2 so we have

`P(X>2)=4/6=2/3`
