If a die is rolled, what is the probability that the number rolled will not be a "5"?
Possible rolls:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Probability of not a 5 means:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 6}
P(Not 6) = 1 - P(6)
P(Not 6) = 1 - 1/6
P(Not 6) = 5/6
Possible rolls:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Probability of not a 5 means:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 6}
P(Not 6) = 1 - P(6)
P(Not 6) = 1 - 1/6
P(Not 6) = 5/6
