Let’s go through each question one by one. We’re working with a standard six-sided die, which has faces numbered:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
That means there are
6 possible outcomes, and each is equally likely.
---
1) Find the probability of rolling a 4 or smaller.
Numbers that are 4 or smaller: 1, 2, 3, 4 → that’s
4 numbers
Probability = favorable outcomes / total outcomes = 4/6 =
2/3
---
2) Find the probability of rolling factors of 12.
Factors of 12: numbers that divide 12 evenly.
Check which of 1–6 divide 12:
- 1 → yes (12 ÷ 1 = 12)
- 2 → yes (12 ÷ 2 = 6)
- 3 → yes (12 ÷ 3 = 4)
- 4 → yes (12 ÷ 4 = 3)
- 5 → no (12 ÷ 5 = 2.4 → not whole)
- 6 → yes (12 ÷ 6 = 2)
So factors of 12 on a die: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 →
5 numbers
Probability = 5/6
---
3) Find the probability of rolling a divisor of 30.
Divisors of 30: numbers that divide 30 evenly.
Check 1–6:
- 1 → yes
- 2 → yes (30 ÷ 2 = 15)
- 3 → yes (30 ÷ 3 = 10)
- 4 → no (30 ÷ 4 = 7.5)
- 5 → yes (30 ÷ 5 = 6)
- 6 → yes (30 ÷ 6 = 5)
So divisors: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 →
5 numbers
Probability = 5/6
---
4) List all possible outcomes from rolling a die.
This is just listing what can come up:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
---
5) Find the probability of rolling less than a 4.
Less than 4: 1, 2, 3 →
3 numbers
Probability = 3/6 =
1/2
---
6) Find the probability of rolling a divisor of 12.
Wait — this is the same as question #2! Divisors of 12 are the same as factors of 12.
We already did this: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 →
5 numbers
Probability = 5/6
*(Note: “divisor” and “factor” mean the same thing here.)*
---
7) Find the probability of rolling an even prime number.
Prime numbers: only divisible by 1 and itself.
Primes between 1–6: 2, 3, 5
Even primes: only
2 is even and prime.
So only 1 outcome:
2
Probability = 1/6
---
8) Find the probability of rolling a divisor of 20.
Divisors of 20: check 1–6
- 1 → yes
- 2 → yes (20 ÷ 2 = 10)
- 3 → no (20 ÷ 3 ≈ 6.66)
- 4 → yes (20 ÷ 4 = 5)
- 5 → yes (20 ÷ 5 = 4)
- 6 → no (20 ÷ 6 ≈ 3.33)
So divisors: 1, 2, 4, 5 →
4 numbers
Probability = 4/6 =
2/3
---
9) Find the probability of rolling factors of 20.
Same as above — factors = divisors.
Still: 1, 2, 4, 5 →
4 numbers
Probability = 4/6 =
2/3
---
10) Find the probability of rolling factors of 120.
Factors of 120: we need to see which of 1–6 divide 120.
But since 120 is big, let’s check:
- 1 → yes
- 2 → yes
- 3 → yes (1+2+0=3 → divisible by 3)
- 4 → yes (last two digits 20 ÷ 4 = 5)
- 5 → yes (ends in 0)
- 6 → yes (divisible by 2 and 3)
ALL numbers 1–6 divide 120!
So favorable outcomes: 6
Probability = 6/6 =
1
---
Final Answer:
1) 2/3
2) 5/6
3) 5/6
4) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
5) 1/2
6) 5/6
7) 1/6
8) 2/3
9) 2/3
10) 1
