A number cube has sides numbered 1 through 6. The probability of rolling a 2 is 16 .

What is the probability of not rolling a 2?

Enter your answer as a fraction, in simplest form, in the box.

Respuesta :

6 numbers rolling a 2 = 1/6
 so rolling something other than a 2 would be 5/6

Answer:  The probability of not rolling a 2 is [tex]\dfrac{5}{6}.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a number cube has sides numbered 1 through 6. And the probability of rolling a 2 is [tex]\dfrac{1}{6}.[/tex]

We are to find the probability of not rolling a 2.

Let, 'A' denotes the event of rolling a 2.

So, we have

[tex]P(A)=\dfrac{1}{6}.[/tex]

The event of not rolling a 2 is given by the complement of event A.

The probability of the complement of event 'A' can be calculated as

[tex]P(A')=1-P(A)=1-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{5}{6}.[/tex]

Thus, the probability of not rolling a 2 is [tex]\dfrac{5}{6}.[/tex]
