Answer: When a dice is thrown, the probability of getting a number 6 is 1/6 or approximately 0.1667.
Explanation:
When you throw a regular six-sided dice, each side has an equal chance of landing face up. Since there are six sides and only one of them has the number 6, the probability of rolling a 6 is 1 out of 6.
To simplify, imagine each side of the dice as a different color, and you're trying to guess which color will land facing up. There are six colors, and only one of them is the color you want. So, the chance of getting the color you want (or rolling a 6) is 1 out of 6.
