Sure! Let’s solve each problem step by step. We are working with a
standard six-sided die, which has faces numbered
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Basic Probability Formula:
>
Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total possible outcomes)
For a single die,
total possible outcomes = 6
---
##
1) Find the probability of rolling a 4 or smaller.
Favorable outcomes: numbers ≤ 4 →
1, 2, 3, 4 →
4 outcomes
✔ Probability = 4/6 =
2/3
---
##
2) Find the probability of rolling factors of 12.
First, list factors of 12:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
But die only shows up to 6 → so valid factors on die:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6 →
5 outcomes
✔ Probability = 5/6
---
##
3) Find the probability of rolling a divisor of 30.
Factors (divisors) of 30:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
On die (≤6):
1, 2, 3, 5, 6 →
5 outcomes
✔ Probability = 5/6
---
##
4) List all possible outcomes from rolling a die.
Standard die:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
✔ Answer:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
---
##
5) Find the probability of rolling less than a 4.
Less than 4 →
1, 2, 3 →
3 outcomes
✔ Probability = 3/6 =
1/2
---
##
6) Find the probability of rolling a divisor of 12.
This is the same as question #2!
Divisors of 12 on die:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6 →
5 outcomes
✔ Probability = 5/6
*(Note: Question 2 and 6 are identical — likely a repetition in the worksheet.)*
---
##
7) Find the probability of rolling an even prime number.
Prime numbers:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ...
Even prime number? Only
2 is even and prime.
On die: only
2 qualifies →
1 outcome
✔ Probability = 1/6
---
##
8) Find the probability of rolling a divisor of 20.
Divisors of 20:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
On die (≤6):
1, 2, 4, 5 →
4 outcomes
✔ Probability = 4/6 =
2/3
---
##
9) Find the probability of rolling factors of 20.
Same as question #8 — “factors” and “divisors” mean the same thing here.
So again:
1, 2, 4, 5 →
4 outcomes
✔ Probability = 4/6 =
2/3
*(Again, likely a repeat — perhaps to reinforce the concept.)*
---
##
10) Find the probability of rolling factors of 120.
List factors of 120:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
On die (≤6):
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 →
all 6 outcomes!
✔ Probability = 6/6 =
1
---
##
✔ Final Answers:
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)
