Question
In a single throw of a dice, find the probability of getting 8.
Solution
Sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
n(S) = 6
There are only six possible outcomes in a single throw of a dice. If we want to find probability of 8 to come up, then in that case number of possible or favourable outcome is 0 (zero)
n(E) = 0
Probability of getting a 8 = P(S)
= `(n(E))/(n(S))`
= `0/6`
= 0
