Question

After all these questions, William mentioned that the chart looks like a chart of several bars. Jack could relate to it as he knew that William was going to invent them in future!

To return to the future, he needed to charge the super batteries. Though nobody knew how to generate electricity there, Jack, with the help of magnets and superconductor wires, successfully built a micro hydro generator.

He went to the church and started charging the super batteries every day. Meanwhile, Jack played the game of Ludo with William to pass time. This game is played by throwing a 6 faced die with numbers from 1 to 6 on its 6 faces. To win, Jack had to get a 4. What is the probability that he will win the game?

• A. 1/6
• B. 0
• C. 1
• D. 2

Answer 1

The correct option is A

1/6

In this case, after throwing the die, there are 6 outcomes possible (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

Out of these outcomes, favourable outcome or the outcome that is expected by Jack to win is 4.

So, number of favourable outcomes = 1

Probability of an event is defined as

P(Event) = $\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

So, P(Getting a 4) = $\frac{1}{6}$
