A die is thrown. Find the probability of getting 2 or 4.
Given:
A die is thrown.
To do:
We have to find the probability of getting 2 or 4.
Solution:
When a die is thrown, the total possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
This implies,
The total number of possible outcomes $n=6$.
Total number of favourable outcomes $=1+1=2$.
We know that,
Probability of an event $=\frac{Number\ of\ favourable\ outcomes}{Total\ number\ of\ possible\ outcomes}$
Therefore,
Probability of getting 2 or 4 $=\frac{2}{6}$
$=\frac{1}{3}$
The probability of getting 2 or 4 is $\frac{1}{3}$.
