Possible outcomes = 6
Possible outcomes = 6
- Now probability of getting $2=\frac{1}{6}$
- Probability of a number less than 3 (which are 1 and 2) $=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$
- probability of a composite number (a composite number is a number which is not a prime number which are 4, 6) $=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$
- probability of a number not less than 4 (which are 5, 6) $=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$
