The faces of the cube are colored red or yellow. The probability of falling out of the red edge is 1/6

The faces of the cube are colored red or yellow. The probability of falling out of the red edge is 1/6, the probability of falling out of the yellow edge is 5/6. How many red and how many yellow faces does this cube have?

First, let’s recall the formula for determining the probability. It looks like this:

P = M / N, where P is the probability, M is the number of desired results, N is all possible options.

Given the problem, we already have our probabilities. We will not even need to look for anything, since the answer is given to us almost immediately.

Find out how many red faces. By hypothesis, the probability of falling out is 1 / 6. We look at our formula and understand that the red edges are 1.

Let’s find out how many yellow faces are in the same pattern. We look at the formula and the conditions and see that there are 5 of them.

Answer: 1 – black, 5 yellow.
