Question
On throwing a dice once, the probability of occurence of an even number is `1/2`.
Options
True
False
Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Even numbers on a dice are 2, 4 and 6
∴ Total number of even numbers = 3
⇒ Total number of favourable outcomes = 3
⇒ All Numbers on a dice = 6
⇒ Total number of outcomes = 6
Probability = `"Total number of favourable outcomes"/"Total number of outcomes"`
⇒ Probability = `3/6`
⇒ Probability = `1/2`
