Question

A die is thrown. Find the probability of getting a multiple of 3.

Answer 1

Given: A fair six-sided die is thrown.

Sample space S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Total number of possible outcomes = 6.

P(E) = `"Number of favourable outcomes"/"Total number of possible outcomes"`

Favourable outcomes = {3, 6} → count = 2

P(multiple of 3) = `2/6`

= `1/3`
