Question

-4. A die is rolled, the probability of getting 3 or 5 is
(A) 2/3
(B) 1/3
(C) 15/36
(D) 1/36​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

B) 1/3

There are 2 favourable outcomes 3or 5

And 6 are total outcomes

Therefore probability =

2/6=1/3

Answer 2

Given:

A die is rolled.

To Find:

The probability of getting 3 or 5.

Solution:

The outcome when die is rolled

S = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }

N(S) = 6

Event when the number on die is 3 or 5

A = {3, 5}

N(A) = 2

So,

Probability of getting 3 or 5 is

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

= 2/6

= 1/3

Hence, the probability of getting 3 or 5 is 1/3.
