A child has a die whose six faces shows the letters as given below:

A B C D E A

The die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting (i) A? (ii) D?

योग

उत्तर

Total number of possible outcomes on the dice = 6

(i) Total number of faces having A on it = 2

`"Number of favourable outcomes"/"Total number of possible outcomes" = 2/6 = 1/3`

P (getting A) = `2/6 = 1/3`

(ii) Total number of faces having D on it = 1

Number of favourable outcomes = 1

`"Number of favourable outcomes"/"Total number of possible outcomes"= 1/6`

P (getting D) = `1/6`
