MCQ
The probability of throwing a number greater than $2$ with a fair dice is :
- A$\frac{3}{5}$
- B$\frac{2}{5}$
- ✓$\frac{2}{3}$
- D$\frac{1}{3}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{2}{3}$
Given : A dice is thrown once
To Find : Probability of getting a number greater than $2$.
Total number on a dice is $6.$
Number greater than $2$ is $3, 4, 5$ and $6$
Total number greater than $2$ is $4$
We know that $\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favourable event}}{\text{Total number of event}}$
Hence probability of getting a number greater than $2$ is equal to $\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$
Hence the correct option is $c.$
