Solution

(a) 13

Explanation:
In a single throw of a die, all possible outcomes are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Total number of possible outcomes = 6
Let E be the event of getting a number more than 4.
Then, the favourable outcomes are 5 and 6.
Number of favourable outcomes = 2
∴ Probability of getting a number more than 4:
P (E) = Number of favourable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomes = 26 = 13
