Question

Find d probability of getting a number less than 5 in a single throw of a dice.

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{When}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{dice}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{thrown}\mathrm{once},\mathrm{then}\mathrm{possible}\mathrm{outcomes}\mathrm{are}:1,2,3,4,5,6 \\ \mathrm{Total}\mathrm{possible}\mathrm{outcomes}=6 \\ \mathrm{Numbers}\mathrm{less}\mathrm{than}5\mathrm{are}:1,2,3,4 \\ \mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{favourable}\mathrm{outcomes}=4 \\ \mathrm{Required}\mathrm{probability}=\frac{\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{favourable}\mathrm{outcomes}}{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{possible}\mathrm{outcomes}}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}$$
