Question

what is the probability of getting prime number when an unbaised die is tossed?

Answer 1

There are 6 total possibilities (since a dice has 6 sides) of which 3 (2, 3 and 5) are prime numbers.

Hence the probability = 3/6 = 1/2 = 50%

DEPENDS UPON THE NUMBER OF SIDES OF THE DIE, IT CAN BE A DICE WITH 14 SIDES, LIKE THIS ONE:-



BUT I WILL TAKE THE DIE WITH SIX SIDES(USUAL ONE/MOST COMMON ONE)



SO IF THE DIE HAS SIX SIDES.

AND 3 PRIME NUMBERS.

THE PROBABILITY WILL BE 3/6,  AND WHEN WE DO THE CANCELLATION THE NUMBER IS 1/2

SO THE PROBABILTY OF GETTING AN PRIME NUBMER IS 1/2
