Question

1. Why is the probability of each outcome of throwing
a dice is1/6 and that of tossing a coin 1/2?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Please mark me brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are six possible outcomes, the probability of obtaining any side of the die is 1/6. The probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6, and so on

Answer 2

Probability of any event = No. of favourable outcomes / total number of outcomes

In the case of throwing a dice , the total number of sides of the dice are 6 and the total total number of possible outcomes is equal to 6.

The favourable outcome while throwing a dice is the showing up of a number on the dice and it is equal to 1.

Therefore , the probability = 1/6

In the case of tossing a coin , the total number of possible outcomes is equal 2 i.e, either head or tail.

The favourable outcome is the showing up of head and tail on the coin . Favourable outcome = 1.

Therefore , the probability = 1/2
