in this case, we are given with a dice with 12 sides. It is asked in the problem to give the probability of having a number less than 5. since there are 4 numbers less than 5, then the probability is 4/12 or 1/3 in lowest terms. this is equal to 0.33. 

Answer:

The probability that the number cube lands on a number less than 5 is

 1/3=0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

sample space of rolling a 12-sided number cube with the numbers 1 through 12 is:

{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}

A: event that the number cube lands on a number less than 5

 ={1,2,3,4}

P(A)= number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes

     =  4/12

     = 1/3

     = 0.33

Hence,  the probability that the number cube lands on a number less than 5 is

  1/3=0.33
