A fair die is rolled find the probility of
getting a primenumber
Answers
Answer:
3 is the answer, as 1,3, and 5 are prime numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
First doing the questions we would first see the formula to how to calculate probability. This formula is given as follows -
The number of specific outcomes that we want
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The total number of outcomes.
Now lets start the question.
A dice has 6 digits engraved on it. In this prime numbers are 2, 3 and 5. You must be thinking that 1 is also a prime number but here there is no mention of 1. I must tell you that one is neither a prime number nor a composite number. It is a unique number. So, there are 3 prime numbers on a die. We will now put the values in the formula.
The number of specific outcomes that we want 3 1
---------------------------------------------------------------------- = -------- = ------
The total number of outcomes. 6 2
So the probability of getting a prime number is 3/6. If you want to simplify it then the answer would be 1/2.
