A die is thrown. What is the probability of getting an odd number?
Answers
Answer:
Hence, the required probability of getting an odd number , P(E) = 1/2
SOLUTION :
Given : A die is thrown once.
➣A die has 6 faces marked as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
If we throw one die then there possible outcomes are as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
➣Number of possible outcomes are = 6
➣Let E = Event of getting an odd number an Odd number on a die are : 1, 3, 5
➣Number of outcome favourable to E = 3
➣Probability (E) = Number of favourable outcomes / Total number of outcomes
➣P(E) = 3/6 = 1/2
➣Hence, the required probability of getting an odd number , P(E) = 1/2
Answer : 1/2

Question : When a dice is thrown once then the probability of getting an odd number between 1 and 3 is?
➣ Answer: Possible oucomes=6, (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
Even numbers = 3, (2, 4, 6).
Probability = 3/6 or 1/2 = 50%.
