you roll a 6 - sided die. what is p(not greater than 3)? write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total outcomes

A 6 - sided die has 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

Step2: Determine favorable outcomes

Numbers not greater than 3 are 1, 2, 3. So there are 3 favorable outcomes.

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability $P=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$.
