Question

In a single throw of a dice, what is the probability of getting a number greaterthan 4

Answer 1

P(E) = No of outcomes / no. of total outcomes

So, P( no.greater than 4) = 2/6= 1/3
Because total outcomes in a dice=6
No. greater than 4 = 5 &6 ie, 2

hope this will help

Answer 2

Answer:

$\text{Probability of getting a number greater than 4 when single dice is thrown is }\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a single dice is thrown

we have to find the probability of getting a number greater than 4

Possible number of  outcomes = 2(5, 6)

Total number of outcomes=6(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

$Probability=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes }}{\text{Total number of outcomes }}$

$=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\text{Hence, probability of getting a number greater than 4 when single dice is thrown is }\frac{1}{3}$
