प्रश्न
Examine the following statement and comment:
If a die is thrown once, there are two possible outcomes—an odd number or an
even number. Therefore, the probability of obtaining an odd number is 1 /2 and the
probability of obtaining an even number is 1/2
.
उत्तर
This statement is true
When a die is thrown; total no. of possible outcomes = 6 {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
These outcomes can be taken as even no. & odd no.
P(even no.) = P(2, 4, 6) = 3/6 =1/2
P(odd no.) = 𝑝(1, 3, 5) = 3/6 =1/2
∴ Two outcomes are equally likely
