A die is rolled. What is the probability of getting a 5?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The probability of rolling a specific number on a fair six-sided die is calculated by taking the total number of favorable outcomes (which is 1 in this case, as there is only one face with a 5) divided by the total possible outcomes (which is 6 for a standard die). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6, which is approximately 16.6%. To convert the probability to a percentage, you multiply the fraction by 100, giving you 16.6%. Hence, the correct answer is C, 16.60%.
