when a die is thrown what is probability of getting a no. is multiple of 2
Answers
Given :
- A die is thrown to find the probability of getting a multiple of 2.
To Find :
- Probability of getting a multiple of 2
Formula :
Thing to remember :
Multiple of a number is are the numbers that come in its table.
Multiples of 2 : 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 , 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 , 20 , 22 and so on.
Solution :
Total number of outcomes possible :
A normal dice i.e. die has 6 sides and has possibility of 6 outcomes :
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
So the total number of outcomes possible is 6.
Favourable outcomes :
Favourable outcome means the outcome we want to have.
Here in the given problem it is asked to find the probability of getting a multiple of 2.
There are 3 multiples of 2 :
- 2
- 4
- 6
So the number of favourable outcomes is 3.
When we put up the values of favourable outcome and total number of outcomes in the formula we get :
Finally we get 1/2 as the probability
So , the probability of getting a multiple of 2 when a die is thrown is :
When a die is thrown what is probability of getting a no. is multiple of 2 ..

✒Given : -
- A die is thrown to Find the Probability of getting a Multiple of 2 ..
✒To Find : -
- Probability of getting multiple of 2 .
→ Total Fav. Outcomes = 3
→ i.e. 2, 3, 6
