If a die is thrown at random, find the probability of getting alan:
(b) 5
(c) 4
(d) even number (e) odd number
(f) number greater than 2​

Answer 1

Answer:

In a throw of a dice,

Possible outcomes ={1,2,3,4,5,6}

Total number of possible outcomes =6

Now,

Favorable outcomes= number greater than 2={3,4,5,6}

Number of favorable outcomes =4

Probability is given by,

P(A)=

No. of total outcomes

no. of possible outcomes

P (a number greater than 2) =

6

4

=

3
