When calculating a probability, we are comparing the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. To calculate the probability of obtaining a number less than 3 when rolling the number cube, we will use the Probability Formula.
P=Favorable Outcomes/Possible OutcomesWe know that on the cube there are 6 numbers in total. This is the number of possible outcomes.
Now we have to find the outcomes where the number rolled on a cube would be less than 3.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Out of these, there are 2 such outcomes. This is the number of favorable outcomes. Now we have enough information to calculate P(less than3).
