Question

A die is thrown once. Find the probability of getting a number greater than 5.
a) 1/6
b)1/3
c)1/2
d)1/4​

Answer 1

Answer:

When a dice is thrown then its sample space contains 6 points and they are {1,2,3,4,5,6}.

In the sample space there is only one number >5 and it is 6.

So we have only one choice to get a number >5.

∴ the probability of getting a number >5 is =1/6.

Answer 2

Answer:

a) 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }

n(S) = 6

Event A : Probability of getting a number greater than 5

A = { 6 }

n(A) = 1

p(A) = n(A)/n(S)

p(A) = 1/6
