Question

A die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting an even number ?

• A. $\frac{2}{5}$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{2}$

Total possible outcomes for a single die $=6$

$\therefore$ Total number of even numbers $=3$ $i.e2,4$ and $6$.

$P\left(A\right)=\frac{Numberoffavorableoutcomes}{TotalNumberofpossibleoutcomes}$

$\therefore P\left(A\right)=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

hence option $B$ is correct.
