Calculating Dice Probability: Greater Than 3 and Less Than 5

Maria, a mathematician, explains how to calculate the probability of rolling a dice and getting a number greater than 3 and less than 5. She outlines the possible outcomes when rolling a dice, which are 1 through 6, and identifies the total number of outcomes as the denominator. The only number that satisfies the condition is 4, making the probability 1 out of 6.

What is the total number of possible outcomes when rolling a dice?

• 3

• 6

• 5

• 4

What is used as the denominator in calculating the probability of a specific outcome when rolling a dice?

• Total number of outcomes that meet the condition

• Total number of possible outcomes

• Number of outcomes that do not meet the condition

• Number 4

Which statement best describes the process of finding the probability of a specific outcome when rolling a dice?

• Subtract the number of outcomes that meet the condition from the total number of possible outcomes.
