Question

You roll a fair 6 sided die. How many outcomes will give you an even number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the no of outcomes are 36 then only even number out comes are 1/12

Answer 2

Answer:

Sample Space

The set of all the possible outcomes is called the sample space. Thus the numbers on the die become the set.

The sample space has six possible outcomes: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.  

Fair Die

If the die has been constructed in a perfectly symmetrical manner, then we can expect that no outcome will be preferred over the other.

Thus, for a large number of rolls, the relative occurrence of each outcome should be roughly one-sixth

Each of the 6 possible outcomes in a fair die has an even chance to appear.

The probability of getting any 1 number is $\frac{1}{6}$

In total  there are 3 even outcomes,

Hence, your answer is $\frac{3}{6\\}$

That is $\frac{1}{2}$
