Question

The probability of getting less than 3 in a single throw of a die is ____________.

Options

• `1/3`

• `1/2`

• `1/4`

• `2/3`

Answer 1

The probability of getting less than 3 in a single throw of a die is `underline(1/3)`.

Explaination:

Reason: Here S = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

∴ n(S) = 6

E = (Less than 3) = [1, 2]

`therefore "P (Less than 3)" = 2/6 = 1/3`
