Before playing the Ludo in these summer holidays. Think about the

probability of the following when a die is rolled:

a.) Getting a composite number.

b.) Getting a number less than 5.

c.) Getting a number greater than 4.

d.) Getting an even prime number.

​

Answer 1

1. possible outcomes = 1

total outcomes = 6

P(E) = 1/6 = 0.166

2. possible outcomes = 4

total outcomes = 6

P(E) = 4/6 = 2/3 = 0.66

3. possible outcomes = 2

total outcomes = 6

P(E) =2/6 = 1/3 = 0.33

4. possible outcomes = 1

total outcomes = 6

P(E) = 1/6 = 0.166
