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]

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
