Problem

A six-sided die has the numbers one to six on its sides. What is the probability of rolling a five?

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

Solution

$6$ numbers can be rolled on the die, and there is only $1$ way to roll a five, so the probability is $\boxed{\textbf{ (B) } \frac{1}{6}}$
