Question

The probability of getting a prime number when a balanced die is thrown is=? (a) 1/2 (b) 1/3 (c) 0 (d) 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible outcomes are 1 3 and 5

total outcomes are 1 2 3 4 5 6

probability =3/6 = 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of outcomes,when a die is thrown=6

The outcomes are :- {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Prime numbers between 1 to 6 = {2,3,5}

Number of favourable outcomes = 3

Probability of getting favourable outcome = Number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes

P(F) = 3/6

= 1/2
