Question

A die is thrown. Find the probability of getting an even number​

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of getting an even number on the first side when a pair of dice is thrown once is 1/2. Let's look into the possible outcomes. Let E be the event of getting an even number on the first side. Thus, the probability of getting an even number on the first side = 18/36 = 1/2.

Answer 2

The sample space has 6 possible outcomes-  

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

all outcomes are equally likely

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
