Question

A die is thrown. What is the probability of getting.
a)an even number b)a number between 3 and 6 c) a multiple of 3 d)a number greater than 5.​

Answer 1

Answer:

In a single throw of dice, we get 1,2,3,4,5 or 6.

No. of total outcomes =6

(i) Even number or a multiple of 3 are 2,3,4,6

Favourable no. of outcomes = 4

P(even number or multiples of 3)=

6

4

=

3

2

(ii) a number 3 or 4

Favourable no. of outcomes = 2

P(a number 3 or 4)=

6

2

=

3

1

(iii) number greater than 3 are 4,5,6

Favourable no. of outcomes = 3

P(a number greater than 3)=

6

3

=

Answer 2

Answer:

a die is thrown

possiblities = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

number of events = 6

probability of an even number =

even number = 2, 4, 6

= 3/6

= 1/2

b) = a number between 3 and 6

= 4 ,5

probability = 2/6

= 1/3

c) multiple of 3 = 3, 6

probability = 2/6

= 1/3

d). = a number greater than 5. = 6

probability = 1/6
