Question

A die is thrown once. Find the probability of getting a number greater than 4.

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

Answer 1

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

Numbers greater than 4 = 5, 6
n(E) = 2
Sample space n(S) = 6
Probability of getting a number greater than 4

$=\frac{n\left(E\right)}{n\left(S\right)}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$

Where re(E): Number of favourable outcomes
n(S): Total number of outcomes
