Question

When a die is thrown, the probability of getting an even number greater than 4 is ______.

Options

• \[\frac{1}{3}\]

• \[\frac{2}{3}\]

• \[\frac{1}{6}\]

• \[\frac{11}{2}\]

Answer 1

When a die is thrown, the probability of getting an even number greater than 4 is \[\underline{\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{6}}}\].

Explanation:

When a dice is thrown, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Even no. greater than 4 is 6.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 1

P(getting an even number greater than 4) \[{} = \frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total no. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{1}{6}.\]
