Answer 1

Answer:

A fair die is rolled once. Statement 1: the probability of getting a composite number is 1/3. Statement2: There are three possibilities for the obtained number (i) the number is a prime number, (ii) the number is a composite number, and (iii) the number is 1.

Answer 2

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

On a through of a dice 6 possible outcomes are possible.

The are {1,2,3,4,5,6}. Among which only 4 and 6 are composite numbers i.e. two numbers are composite.

Now from the definition of probability, the probability of getting a composite number on the throw of dice is 2/6 = 1/3.
