you roll a 6 - sided die.\nwhat is p(odd)?\nwrite your answer as a percentage.\n%

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the total number of outcomes

A 6 - sided die has 6 possible outcomes: (1,2,3,4,5,6). So (n(S)=6).

Step2: Determine the number of favorable outcomes

The odd numbers on a 6 - sided die are (1,3,5). So (n(A) = 3).

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability formula is (P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}). Substituting the values, we get (P(\text{odd})=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}).

Step4: Convert to percentage

To convert a fraction to a percentage, we use the formula (\text{Percentage}=\frac{1}{2}\times100%). [ \begin{align*} \frac{1}{2}\times100%&=(1\div2)\times100%\ & = 0.5\times100%\ &=50% \end{align*} ]

Answer:

(50%)
