.A dice is rolled,what is the probability of getting a prime number on the upper face?
Answers
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Prime number in a dice=1,2,3,5
Total number of outcomes=6(123456)
Number of favourable outcomes=4
P(e)=4/6
=2/3

Given,
- A die is rolled.
To find,
We have to find the probability of getting a prime number on the upper face.
Solution,
We can easily find the probability of getting a prime number on the upper face by using the following formula
Probability = Favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes
When a die is rolled, total number of outcomes = 6
Sample space = {1,2,3,4,5,6}
Number of cases of getting a prime number = {2,3,5}
Number of favorable cases = 3
P( of getting a prime number on the upper face) = 3/6
P( of getting a prime number on the upper face) = 1/2
Hence, if a die is rolled then the probability of getting a prime number on the upper face is 1/2.
