Snowflakes are symmetrical, hexagonal ice crystals that form when water vapor freezes in the atmosphere.

If you toss a die and it comes up with the number one 9 times in a row, what is the probability that it will come up with one on the next throw?
- Two in three
- One in two
- One in six
- Five in six
Correct Answer

A. One in six

Explanation

The probability of getting a specific number on a fair six-sided die is always 1 in 6, regardless of previous outcomes. Each toss of the die is an independent event, meaning that the outcome of one toss does not affect the outcome of the next toss. Therefore, even if the die has come up with the number one 9 times in a row, the probability of it coming up with one on the next throw remains 1 in 6.
