A die is thrown once. What is the probability that the score is a factor of 6?
Answers
The answer!!
The factors of 6 in a die : 1,2,3,6
Probability= numbers of trials in which the event occurs/total number of outcomes.
=4/6
=2/3
Therefore the probability of getting a factor of 6 is 2/3.
hope this helps!

Given,
A die is thrown once.
To find,
The probability that the score obtained is a factor of 6.
Solution,
We can simply solve this mathematical problem using the following process:
Mathematically,
The probability of occurrence of a favorable event = P (favorable event)
= (Total number of occurrence of the favorable event) / (Total number of occurrence of all possible events)
= (Total number of occurrence of the favorable event) / (Total number of trials)
As per the given question;
The favorable event is the occurrence of a factor of 6, that is 1, 2, 3, and 6, respectively.
=> total number of occurrences of the favorable event = 4 {1,2,3,6}
And, the total number of trials = 6 {1,2,3,4,5,6}
Now,
The probability of getting a factor of 6 when the die is thrown once
= (Total number of occurrence of the favorable event) / (Total number of trials)
= 4/6 = 2/3
Hence, the probability of getting a factor of 6, when the die is thrown once, is equal to 2/3.
