Solution

This statement is False.

Explanation:

Favourable outcome is 5

⇒ Total number of favourable outcomes = 5

⇒ All numbers on a dice = 6

⇒ Total number of outcomes = 6

Probability = `"Total number of favourable outcomes"/"Total number of outcomes"`

⇒ Probability = `1/6`

The probability of getting 5 is also `1/6`.
