Question:
A die is thrown. Find the probability of getting a 5
Solution:
We know that,
Probability of occurrence of an event
$=\frac{\text { Total no.of Desired outcomes }}{\text { Total no.of outcomes }}$
Total outcomes are $1,2,3,4,5,6$, and the desired outcome is 5
Therefore, total no.of outcomes are 6 , and total no.of desired outcomes are 1
Probability of getting $5=\frac{1}{6}$
Conclusion: Probability of getting 5 when die is thrown is $\frac{1}{6}$
