What is the probability of getting 5 points when rolling a dice?

In order to determine the probability that 5 points will fall out when throwing a dice, it is necessary to use the formula for the classical definition of probability:

P (A) = m / n,

Where P (A) is the probability of the event A of interest to us, that is, the loss of 5 points, m is the number of outcomes favorable to the event, that is, the loss of 5 points, n is the number of all equally possible outcomes of the test, that is, all possible options for the loss of the dice. Let’s define m and n:

n = 6; m = 1.

Then:

P (A) = 1/6 = 0.1667.

Correct answer: A – 1/6.
