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 be the sample space of rolling a 6-sided die. Then .
The total number of possible outcomes is .
Let 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 is given by:
The probability of rolling a number greater than 6 is
0.
We need to round the answer to 2 decimal places.
