Question

In a single throw of a dice, what is the probability of getting a number greater
than 4?
1. 1/2
2. 2/3
3. 1/4
4. 1/3

Answer 1

Hi there,

No. of possible outcomes = 6

According to Qs.

2 nos. which are greater than 4

The possible outcome will be 2/6= 1/3.

Hence, Option 4 is correct.

Answer 2

1/3 is the probability of getting the number greater than 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a dice is thrown, the possible set of outcomes can be:

S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}.

Let A be the outcome for getting a value greater than 4, then;

A = {5,6}.

The probability of getting the outcome of one die roll being greater than 4 = the number of events in set A/ the total number of possible outcomes.

So, the probability of getting a number that is greater than 4 = 2/6 = 1/3

∵ P(one die roll getting a number greater than 4) =  1/3.
