Questions: A number cube with faces labeled from 1 to 6 will be rolled once. The number rolled will be recorded as the outcome. Give the sample space describing all possible outcomes. Then give all of the outcomes for the event of rolling an even number. If there is more than one element in the set, separate them with commas.

Transcript text: A number cube with faces labeled from 1 to 6 will be rolled once.
The number rolled will be recorded as the outcome.
Give the sample space describing all possible outcomes.
Then give all of the outcomes for the event of rolling an even number.
If there is more than one element in the set, separate them with commas.
Sample space: $\square$
Event of rolling an even number: $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identifying the Sample Space
The sample space \(S\) for a die with 6 faces is \(S = \{1, 2, ..., 6\}\).
Step 2: Identifying the Event Outcomes
The outcomes for the specified event are \(E = \{2, 4, 6\}\).
Final Answer:
The probability of the event occurring is 0.5, calculated as \(\frac{|E|}{|S|} = \frac{3}{6}\).
