MCQ
A die is thrown once. The probability of getting an even number is :
- ✓$\frac{1}{2}$
- B$\frac{1}{3}$
- C$\frac{1}{6}$
- D$\frac{5}{6}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{2}$
The numbers on a die are $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ and $6$.
So, there are $6$ numbers in total.
The even number on the die are $2, 4$ and $6.$
So, there are $3$ even number.
$P($getting an even number$)$
$=\frac{3}{6}$
$=\frac{1}{2}$
So, there are $6$ numbers in total.
The even number on the die are $2, 4$ and $6.$
So, there are $3$ even number.
$P($getting an even number$)$
$=\frac{3}{6}$
$=\frac{1}{2}$
