Question

probability of not getting an even number when a dice is thrown is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

TOPIC:-

Probability

DEFINITION:-

Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. For example, when a coin is tossed in the air, the possible outcomes are Head and Tail.

NEEDED ANSWER:-

the sample space has 6 possible outcomes-

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

Let all outcomes are equally likely(fair dice).

Hence Probability of any one outcome occurring= 1/6.

The event that we get that an even number on tossing the die can occur in 3 possible ways.

Let E denote this event.

E={2,4,6}

now p(E) = 3 × 1/6 = 1/2

So, probability of not getting an even number when a dice is thrown is 1/2
