Question
A die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting an odd number?
Solution
A dice is thrown once
TO FIND: Probability of getting an odd number.
Total number on a dice is 6.
Odd numbers on a dice are 1, 3 and 5
Total number of odd numbers on dice is 3
`"We know that PROBABILITY" = "Number of favourable event"/"Total number of event"`
`"Hence probability of an odd number" =3/6=1/2`
`"Hence probability of getting an odd number "=1/2`
