Question

A die thrown once. What is the probability of getting an odd number?

Answer 1

total number of outcomes = 6

number of odd numbers = 3 ( 1,3,5)

probability = 3/6 = 1/2

Answer 2

Total outcomes = 6 { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }

Favourable outcomes of getting an odd number = 3 { 1, 3, 6 }

P(x) = Favourable outcomes / Total outcomes

P( Getting an odd number ) = 3 / 6 = 1 / 2
