In a probability experiment a painted cube is rolled once. One side of the cube is painted red, two sides are painted yellow, and three sides are painted green. Find the theoretical probability (P) of each event.
1) P (yellow) = 2/6
----------------------
2) P (green) = 3/6
----------------------
3) P (red) = 1/6
------------------------------
4) P ( yellow or green) = (2+3)/6 = 5/6
-----------------------------------------
5) P (blue) = 0
-------------------------------
6) P (red or yellow or green) = (1+2+3)/6 = 1
