1) An unbiased dice is thrown. What is the probability that the number is Even Solution:Total number of outcomes possible when a die is thrown = 6,
i.e. `S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}`
`:.n(S)=6`
Let `E` = event of getting a number is even
`:.E = {2,4,6}`
`:.n(E) = 3`
`:.P(E)=(n(E))/(n(S))=3/6=1/2`
2) An unbiased dice is thrown. What is the probability that the number is Multiple/Divide by 3Solution:Total number of outcomes possible when a die is thrown = 6,
i.e. `S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}`
`:.n(S)=6`
Let `E` = event of getting a number divide by 3
`:.E = {3,6}`
`:.n(E) = 2`
`:.P(E)=(n(E))/(n(S))=2/6=1/3`
3) An unbiased dice is thrown. What is the probability that the number is <= 4Solution:Total number of outcomes possible when a die is thrown = 6,
i.e. `S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}`
`:.n(S)=6`
Let `E` = event of getting a number `<=` 4
`:.E = {1,2,3,4}`
`:.n(E) = 4`
`:.P(E)=(n(E))/(n(S))=4/6=2/3`
4) An unbiased dice is thrown. What is the probability that the number is Prime Solution:Total number of outcomes possible when a die is thrown = 6,
i.e. `S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}`
`:.n(S)=6`
Let `E` = event of getting a number is prime
`:.E = {2,3,5}`
`:.n(E) = 3`
`:.P(E)=(n(E))/(n(S))=3/6=1/2`
5) An unbiased dice is thrown. What is the probability that the number is >= 5Solution:Total number of outcomes possible when a die is thrown = 6,
i.e. `S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}`
`:.n(S)=6`
Let `E` = event of getting a number `>=` 5
`:.E = {5,6}`
`:.n(E) = 2`
`:.P(E)=(n(E))/(n(S))=2/6=1/3`
