ANSWER
[tex]P(E)=\frac {2} {3}[/tex]
EXPLANATION
When a die is tossed, the possible outcomes are
S={1,2,3,4,5,6}.
[tex]n(S)=6[/tex]
The event of getting a number less than 5 is
E={1,2,3,4}
[tex]n(E) = 4[/tex]
[tex]P(E)=\frac{n(E)} {n(S)}[/tex]
[tex]P(E)=\frac {4} {6}[/tex]
[tex]P(E)=\frac {2} {3}[/tex]
[tex]P(E)=\frac {2} {3}[/tex]

Answer:
P( less than 5) = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The die can land on 1,2,3,4,5,6
There are 4 choices that are less than 5. {1,2,3,4}
P( less than 5) = number of choices less than 5/ total choices
= 4/6
We can simplify by dividing the top and bottom by 2
P( less than 5) = 2/3
