A Die Has 6 Faces Marked by the Given Numbers as Shown Below the Die is Thrown Once. What is the Probability of Getting 1) A Positive Integer 2) An Integer Greater than -3. 3) The Smallest Integer. - Mathematics

Sum

A die has 6 faces marked by the given numbers as shown below

The die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting

1) a positive integer

2) an integer greater than -3.

3) the smallest integer.

Solution

Given that the die has 6 faces marked by the given numbers as below:

Total number of outcomes = 6

1) For getting a positive integer, the favourable outcomes are 1, 2, 3

⇒ Number of favourable outcomes = 3

⇒ Required probability = 3/6 = 1/2

2) For getting an integer greater than -3, the favourable outcomes are -2, -1, 1, 2, 3

⇒ Number of favourable outcomes = 5

⇒ Required probability = 5/6

3) For getting the smallest integer, the favourable outcome is -2

⇒Number of  favourable outcomes = 1

⇒ Required probability = 1/6

Is there an error in this question or solution?
