Answer 1

A die is thrown once. The probability of getting an odd number greater than 3 is `underlinebb(1/6)`.

​Explanation:

Total number of outcomes = 6.

Out of the given numbers, odd number greater than 3 is 5.

Numbers of favourable outcomes = `("Number of favourable outcomes")/"Number of all possible outcomes"`

`= 1/6`

Thus, the probability of getting an odd number greater than 3 is `1/6`.
