Question

The probability of getting even number when a fair dice is rolled once is
(a) 1/2
(b) 1/4
(C) 1/6
(D) 5/6​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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×
