Question
A die is thrown once. Find the probability of getting a number lying between 2 and 6.
Solution
The possible outcomes when a dice is thrown = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Number of possible outcomes of a dice = 6
Numbers lying between 2 and 6 = 3, 4, 5
Total numbers lying between 2 and 6 = 3
Probability of getting a number lying between 2 and 6 = `3/6 = 1/2`
