Question

A dice is thrown once. Find the probability of getting a number greater than $5$.

• A. $\frac{4}{6}$
• B. $\frac{1}{6}$
• C. $\frac{2}{3}$
• D. $\frac{7}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{6}$

Numbers greater than $5=6$
$n\left(E\right)=1$
Sample space $n\left(S\right)=6$
Probability of getting a number greater than $4$
$=\frac{n\left(E\right)}{n\left(S\right)}=$$\frac{1}{6}$
Where $re\left(E\right)$: Number of favourable outcomes
$n\left(S\right)$: Total number of outcomes
