Question

A die is rolled. Find the probability of getting a number greater than 5​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible outcomes when a die thrown is {1,2,3,4,5,6}. Therefore, the number of possible outcomes of a die is 6.

Now, the numbers greater than 1 between 1 to 6 are {2,3,4,5,6} then the number of favourable outcome is 5.

Therefore, probability P of getting a number greater than 5 is:

P= 1

6

Hence, the probability of getting a number greater than 5 is : 1 .
