Question

A dice is thrown once. Find the probability of getting a number less than 3.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{3}$

Number of total outcomes = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) = 6

Numbers which are less than 3 = 1 and 2.

Then, number of favorable outcomes = 2.

Therefore, probability of getting a number less than $3=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$
