Question

a dice is thrown at once find the probability of getting (a) an even number (b) a number less than 6​

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample space has 6 possible outcomes-

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

Let all outcomes are equally likely(fair dice).

Hence Probability of any one outcome occurring= 1/6.

The event that we get that an even number on tossing the die can occur in 3 possible ways.

Let E denote this event.

E={2,4,6}

Now P(E)= 3×1/6 = 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

As total numbers on dice are 6 so

probability of a even number

Even numbers on dice are 2,4,6

so probability is -3÷6 or 1÷2

(b) number less than 6 are 1,2,3,4,5,

so probability is 5÷6
