Question 6 • Personal Finance

What is the probability of rolling a number less than 5? A ten-sided die with sides numbered 1 through 10 is rolled once.

Answer
A
cap p times less than 5 is equal to 4 fifths
B
cap p times less than 5 is equal to 2 fifths
C
cap p times less than 5 is equal to 1 half
D
cap p times less than 5 is equal to 2 thirds

Explanation

The ten-sided die has 10 equally likely outcomes. The numbers less than 5 are 1, 2, 3, and 4, so 4 of the 10 outcomes work. Thus the probability is 4/10 = 2/5, which is choice B.
