Question

A die is tossed 250 times and the data is recorded as below:

Outcome	1	2	3	4	5	6
Frequency	30	50	50	75	20	25

The probability of getting an odd number is

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{2}{5}$

Total number of times, a die is thrown = 250
Outcomes having an odd number are 1, 3 or 5.
$\therefore \text{Number of favourable outcomes}=30+50+20=100$
$\therefore \text{P(getting an odd number)}=\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$
$=\frac{100}{250}$
$=\frac{2}{5}$

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
