Tootsie · Answer 1

The probability of getting a number less than 5

= number of numbers less than 5/total number of numbers

= 4/6

= 2/3

Byron Cochran · Answer 2

Total number of possible outcomes = 6

Total number of outcomes with a number less than 5 = 4

{The numbers are 1, 2, 3, and 4}

P (a number less than 5) = 4/6 = 2/3

Answer: 2/3
