Question

A child has a die whose 6 faces show the letters given below: 

The die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting (i) A and (ii) B?

Answer 1

  In a single throw of a die, the possible outcomes are:
    A,B,C,A,A,B

  Total number of possible outcomes = 6

  (i) Let E₁ be the event of getting A.

      Number of favourable outcomes = 3
     ∴ P( getting A) =  P (E₁) =  `3/6`=`1/2`
