To find the probability of rolling an even number on a fair number cube numbered 1 through 6, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (rolling an even number) and the total number of possible outcomes.
The favorable outcomes are the numbers 2, 4, and 6, as these are the even numbers on the cube.
The total number of possible outcomes is 6, as there are six numbers on the cube (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).
Therefore, the probability of rolling an even number is given by the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.
P(even number)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomes
P(even number)=36
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
P(even number)=12
Therefore, the probability of rolling an even number on the fair number cube is 12.
