alleryStart learning →One fair six-sided die is rolled once. What is the probability of getting a four?
AOne in four
BOne in three
COne in six
DOne in two
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. One in six
1. A fair die has six faces and every face is as likely as any other.
2. Only one of those six faces shows a four.
3. So the probability is one favorable outcome out of six, which is one in six.
