Question

A die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting a multiple of 3.

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of getting a multiple of 3 is therefore = n(E)/n(S) = 2/6 =1/3.

Answer 2

Given - Die

Find - Probability of getting a multiple of 3

Solution - Probability = number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Number of favourable outcomes is multiples of 3. Die has numbers - 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. So, favourable outcomes are 3 and 6. Hence, number of favourable outcomes are 2.

Total number of outcomes = 6.

Keep the values in formula to find the probability.

Probability = 3/6

Performing division

Probability = 1/2

Hence, the probability of getting a multiple of 3 is 1/2.
