Question

A die is thrown once, the probability of getting an even prime number is___

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{1}{6}$

The only even prime number among 1,2,3,4,5,6 is 2. Hence the number of favourable outcomes is 1.

Therefore, the probability of getting an even prime = $\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$
