Given - Die is thrown
Find - Probability of not getting 2
Solution - The probability of not getting 2 = 5/6
Probability = number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes
Number of favourable outcomes = 1 (as 2 can come only once)
Total number of outcomes = 6
Probability of getting 2 = 1/6
Probability of favourable outcomes + Probability of not favourable outcomes = 1
The probability of not getting 2 = Probability of getting 2 - 1
The probability of not getting 2 = 1 - 1/6
The probability of not getting 2 = 6 - 1/6
The probability of not getting 2 = 5/6
Thus, the probability of not getting 2 = 5/6
