Answer:

P(event occuring) = 0.5

Steps:

P(event occuring) = 6/12

P(event occuring) = 1/2

P(event occuring) = 0.5

Probabilities are used to determine the chance of an event.

The probability that the event occurs is 0.5

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{Favorable\ Outcomes = 12}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Outcomes = 6}[/tex]

So, the probability that the event occurs is:

[tex]\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Outcomes}{Favorable\ Outcomes}}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{Pr = \frac{6}{12}}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\mathbf{Pr = \frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]\mathbf{Pr =0.5}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the event occurs is 0.5
