Question

For \[E=\{3,6\}\] when a die is thrown once, what is \[P(E)\]?

Options

• \[P(E)=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}\]

• \[P(E)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\]

• \[P(E)=\frac{4}{6}\]

• \[P(E)=\frac{1}{6}\]

Answer 1

Event E has two outcomes, 3 and 6, out of six outcomes in the sample space. Thus, \[P(E)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\].
