Question

A dice is rolled. The probability of getting an even prime is

(a) $\frac{1}{6}$ (b) $\frac{1}{3}$ (c) $\frac{1}{2}$ (d) $\frac{5}{6}$

Answer 1

The possible numbers on a dice are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
There is only one even prime number which is 2.
∴ Probability of getting an even prime = $\frac{\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{even}\mathrm{prime}\mathrm{numbers}}{\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{all}\mathrm{possible}\mathrm{outcomes}\mathrm{on}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{dice}}$$=\frac{1}{6}$


Hence, the correct option is (a).
