Question
Is the given statement correct or not correct?
If a die is thrown, there are two possible outcomes- an odd number or an even number. Therefore, the probability of getting an odd number is $\frac{1}{2}$.
✓

Answer

Total outcomes that can occur are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Number of possible outcomes of a dice = 6
Numbers which are odd = 1, 3, 5
Total numbers which are odd = 3
Numbers which are even = 2, 4, 6
Total numbers which are even = 3
Probability of getting an odd number $=\frac{\text {Number of outcomes where there is an odd number}}{\text {Total number of outcomes}}$
$=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the given statement is correct.
