Question

A die is thrown once. Find the probability of getting a prime number.

Answer 1

Total outcomes of throwing a die once are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

Total number of possible outcomes = 6

Since 2, 3and 5 are prime numbers.

Favourable outcome = 3

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

= `3/6`

= `1/2`
