Question 217113: If a six-sided die contains the numbers from 1 to 6, the probability of getting a 1 or a 6 on one throw of the die is what? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a six-sided die contains the numbers from 1 to 6, the probability of getting a 1 or a 6 on one throw of the die is what?
---------------------------------------------------
Getting a one or a six on one throw of a die are disjoint events: they
cannot happen simulultaneously.
-----------------------------------
P(1 or 6) = P(1) + P(6)
= 1/6 + 1/6
= 2/6
= 1/3
