    Think of it the same way as your marble problem. The part divided by the whole. What is your part in this problem? What is your whole?

    I told you how to do a similar problem on one of your threads, anette19.

    Here, it is asking you what is the probability of having less than 6, which means either of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.

    the or means that you add each probability.

    Try again now.
