Question

In a throw of a die, find the probability of getting an even number

Answer 1

When a dice is thrown,

Possible Outcomes are 1,2,3,4,5 and 6

Total number of Outcomes = 6

Favourable Outcomes are 2,4 and 6

Number of Favourable Outcome = 3

Probability = Favourable Outcomes / Total number of Outcomes

= 3 / 6

= 1/2

Answer 2

n(sample space) = { 1 ,2,3 ,4, 5 ,6}
 Now,
       P(E) of getting a even number = 3 /6 = 1/2

Hope it helps... :)
