Question

Determine the probability p, for the event.

An odd number appears in a single toss of a fair die

Answer 1

Total possible outcomes of a single throw of a die are S={1,2,3,4,5,6}

Out of which favorable i.e, Odd outcomes are={1,3,5}

Use probability$=\frac{NumberofFavorableoutcomes}{NumberofTotaloutcomes}$

$\therefore$ Probability$=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$
