10 (a) for method to find probability of getting a score of 5 - Edexcel - GCSE Maths - Question 10 - 2022 - Paper 1

To find the probability of getting a score of 5, we first need to determine the total number of possible outcomes and favorable outcomes. Assuming we are rolling a fair six-sided die, there are 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

The favorable outcome for a score of 5 is that there is 1 way to roll a 5. Therefore, we can calculate the probability as follows:

$ext{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{1}{6}$

Hence, the answer is ( \frac{1}{6} ) or approximately 0.1667.
