What is the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die?

  • A. 50%
  • B. 66.70%
  • C. 33.30%
  • D. 25%
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A six-sided die has three odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of six possible outcomes. To calculate the probability, divide the number of favorable outcomes (odd numbers) by the total number of outcomes: 3/6 = 0.5 or 50%. Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die is 50%. Choice A is correct. Choice B (66.70%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die. Choice C (33.30%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number. Choice D (25%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die.
