Question
The probability of getting number 6 in a throw of a dice is `1/6`. Similarly the probability of getting a number 5 is `1/5`.
Options
True
False
Solution
This statement is False.
Explanation:
Favourable outcome is 5
⇒ Total number of favourable outcomes = 5
⇒ All numbers on a dice = 6
⇒ Total number of outcomes = 6
Probability = `"Total number of favourable outcomes"/"Total number of outcomes"`
⇒ Probability = `1/6`
The probability of getting 5 is also `1/6`.
