A die is rolled. The probability of getting an odd point or six is

To solve this problem, we need to understand the basics of probability and the specifics of a die. A standard die has six faces, each with a different number of dots ranging from 1 to 6.

Step 1: Identify the total number of outcomes When a die is rolled, there are 6 possible outcomes - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

Step 2: Identify the favorable outcomes The problem asks for the probability of getting an odd point or a six. The odd numbers on a die are 1, 3, and 5. So, there are 3 favorable outcomes for getting an odd number. The number 6 is also a favorable outcome. Therefore, there are 4 favorable outcomes in total (1, 3, 5, and 6).

Step 3: Calculate the probability The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes.

So, the probability of getting an odd point or a six is 4/6 = 2/3.

Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number or a six on a die is 2/3.
