Question:
Tick (✓) the correct answer:
A die is thrown. What is the probability of getting an even number?
(a) $\frac{1}{2}$
(b) $\frac{2}{3}$
(c) $\frac{5}{6}$
(d) $\frac{1}{6}$
Solution:
(a) $\frac{1}{2}$
Total number of outcomes $=6$ (Numbers: $1,2,3,4,5$ and 6 ) The even numbers are 2, 4, and 6 .
Number of favourable outcomes $=3$
Now, $\mathrm{P}_{(\text {even number })}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$
