You can put this solution on YOUR website!
there are six possible outcomes for rolling the die
:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
:
odd numbers are 1, 3, 5
:
numbers less than 5 are 1, 2, 3, 4
:
Probability(rolling an odd number or a number less than 5) = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
:
note that we do not count 1 and 3 as numbers less than 5 since we already counted them as odd numbers
