Question

A die is thrown once . Find the probability of getting at most 2

Answer 1

At most two means we can get 1 or 2.
So there are two favourable outcomes.
Total possible outcomes are 6.
Therefore probability of getting atmost 2 is 2\6=1\3.

Answer 2

Answer: Probability of getting atmost 2 is $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A die is thrown once.

Number of possible outcomes = 6

Number of outcomes atmost 2 = 2 (i.e.1 and 2)

So, Probability of getting atmost 2 is given by

$\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{ Number of total outcomes}}\\\\=\frac{2}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}$

Hence, Probability of getting atmost 2 is $\frac{1}{3}$
