A die is thrown, Find the probability of getting:
(a) a prime number
(b) 2 or 4
(c) a multiple of 2 or 3
(d) an even prime number
(e) a number greater than 5
(f) a number lying between 2 and 6
GIVEN: A dice is thrown once
TO FIND
(i) Probability of getting a prime number
(ii) Probability of getting 2 or 4
(iii) Probability of getting a multiple of 2 or 3.
(iv) Probability of getting an even number
(v) Probability of getting a number greater than five.
(vi) Probability of lying between 2 and 6
Total number on a dice is 6.
(i) Prime number on a dice are 2,3,5
Total number of prime numbers on dice is 3
We know that PROBABILITY =
Hence probability of getting a prime number =
(ii) for getting 2 and 4 favorable outcome are 2
We know that PROBABILITY =
Hence probability of getting 2 or 4 =
(iii) Multiple of 2 are 3 are 2, 3, 4 and 6
Hence favorable outcome is 4
We know that PROBABILITY =
Hence probability of getting an multiple of 2 or 3 =
(iv) an even prime number is 2
Hence favorable outcome is 1
We know that PROBABILITY =
Hence probability of getting an even prime number
(v) A number greater than 5 is 6
Hence favorable outcome is 1
We know that PROBABILITY =
Hence probability of getting a number greater than 5
(vi) Total number on a dice is 6.
Number lying between 2 and 6 are 3, 4 and 5
Total number of number lying between 2 and 6 is 3
We know that PROBABILITY =
Hence probability of getting a number lying between 2 and 6 =
