2/3
ANSWER QUICKLY AND RIGHT FOR BRAINLY ANSWER

Respuesta :

Each face of the cube has an equal [tex]\dfrac16[/tex] probability of being rolled. There are 2 numbers on the cube less than 3 (1 and 2). The event of rolling a 1 and the event of rolling a 2 are mutually exclusive (you can't roll both faces at once), so

[tex]P(1\text{ or }2)=P(1)+P(2)=\dfrac16+\dfrac16=\dfrac13[/tex]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 numbers on a die that are less then 3. That's 2/6 or 1/3. There's a 1/3 chance that the number will be less then 3.
