Question

Examine the following statements and comment:
If a die is thrown once, there are two possible outcomes- an odd number or an even number. Therefore, the probability of obtaining an odd number is $1/2$ and the probability of obtaining an even number is $1/2$.

Answer 1

In the event of throwing a dice, there are $6$ possible outcomes - $1,2,3,4,5,6$

Here, $n\left(evenNumbers\right)=n\left(oddNumbers\right)=3$

Therefore, Probability $P\left(evenNumbers\right)=P\left(oddNumbers\right)=\frac{1}{2}$

The events of obtaining an odd number and even number are equally likely.
