Question

if a die is thrown once what is the probability of getting 1. even number 2. odd number

Answer 1

Answer:

if a die is thrown once what is the probability of getting an even number = 3/6 =1/2 (2,4,6)

odd number = 3/6 = 1/2 (1,3,5)

Answer 2

total outcomes = 6

Sample space ={1,2,3,4,5,6}

n(S) = 6

let A = event of getting an even number
= { 2,4,6}

n(A) = 3

let B = event of getting an odd number
= {1,3,5}

probability of getting even number

= n(A)/n(S)
= 3/6
=1/2

probability of getting odd number

= n(B)/n(S)
= 3/6
=1/2
