Question

you roll a 6 - sided die. what is p(1 or divisor of 60)? simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

Explanation:

Step1: List divisors of 60 on die

The divisors of 60 among the numbers on a 6 - sided die (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The event of getting 1 is already included in the set of divisors of 60.

Step2: Calculate probability

The total number of possible outcomes when rolling a 6 - sided die is $n(S)=6$. The number of favorable outcomes (1 or divisor of 60) is $n(A) = 6$. The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$. So $P(1\text{ or divisor of }60)=\frac{6}{6}=1$.
