Question

A man throws a die until he gets a number
bigger than 3. The probability that he gets 5
in the last throw is​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think it is 5/6 because there is no frequency

Answer 2

P(E) = $\dfrac{1}{2}$ or 0. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

All possible outcomes are:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

Total number of possible outcomes = 6

Let E be the event of getting number bigger than 3.

Favourabe outcomes are:

4, 5 and 6

Number of favourable outcomes = 3

∴ $P(E) = \dfrac{Number of favourable outcomes }{Total number of possible outcome}$

= $\dfrac{3}{6}$

= $\dfrac{1}{2}$ or 0. 5

∴ P(E) = $\dfrac{1}{2}$ or 0. 5
