Question 696200: Hello,
I need some assitance with the following question, please.
You are rolling a 20-sided die where the sides are numbered 1 through 20. Find the odds in favor of rolling a number less than 6.
I know there are 5 number less than 6, so 5 will go on top. But for the bottom, I'm thinking it is 15, as that is the amount that is not less than five. Is that correct? Thank you!

Probability=success /total outcomes.
P=5/20=1/4=.25=25% chance of rolling a number less than 6.
