A fair die is constructed by labelling the faces of a wooden cube with the numbers $1,1,1,2,3$, and 3 . If this die is rolled once, the probability of rolling an odd number is
(A) $\frac{5}{6}$
(B) $\frac{4}{6}$
(C) $\frac{3}{6}$
(D) $\frac{2}{6}$
(E) $\frac{1}{6}$

(A) $\frac{5}{6}$
(B) $\frac{4}{6}$
(C) $\frac{3}{6}$
(D) $\frac{2}{6}$
(E) $\frac{1}{6}$

## Solution

There are six different equally likely possibilities in rolling the die. Since five of these are odd numbers, the probability of rolling an odd number is five out of six or $\frac{5}{6}$.
