Question

A die is thrown. Find the probability that a prime number will appear.

✓

Answer

As 2, 3, 5 are prime numbers up to 6, so the desired outcomes are 2, 3, 5, and total outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Therefore, total no. of outcomes are 6, and total no. of desired outcomes are 3
Probability of getting a prime number = $\frac{3}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$
Conclusion: Probability of getting a prime number when a die is thrown is $\frac{1}{2}$
