Solution
Given: A dice is thrown once
To find: Probability of getting a prime number.
Total number on a dice is 6.
Prime numbers on a dice are 2, 3 and 5
Total number of prime numbers on dice is 3
We know that Probability = `"Number of favourable event"/"Total number of event"`
= `3/6`
= `1/2`
Hence, probability of getting a prime number = `1/2`.
