1. Problem Description

The problem asks for the probability of rolling a number greater than 6 on a fair 6-sided die. The answer should be rounded to 2 decimal places.

2. Solution Steps

A fair 6-sided die has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 on its faces. We are asked to find the probability of rolling a number greater than
6.
Let SS be the sample space of rolling a 6-sided die. Then S={1,2,3,4,5,6}S = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}.
The total number of possible outcomes is S=6|S| = 6.
Let EE be the event of rolling a number greater than

6. The outcomes in event $E$ are numbers greater than

6. Since the largest number on the die is 6, there are no numbers greater than

6. Therefore, $E = \{\}$. The number of outcomes in event $E$ is $|E| = 0$.

The probability of event EE is given by:
P(E)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomes=ESP(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}} = \frac{|E|}{|S|}
P(E)=06=0P(E) = \frac{0}{6} = 0
The probability of rolling a number greater than 6 is
0.
We need to round the answer to 2 decimal places.
0.000.00
