Question

Find the probabilities of the events given in Question 2.

Answer 1

(i) (a) Out of 6 possible outcomes, a prime number can be obtained in three cases. Therefore, probability of getting a prime number =

(b) Out of 6 possible outcomes, a prime number may not be obtained in three cases.

Therefore, probability of getting not a prime number =

(ii) (a) Out of 6 possible outcomes, a number greater than 5 can be obtained in only 1 case.

Therefore, probability of getting a number greater than 5 =

(b) Out of 6 possible outcomes, a number not greater than 5 can be obtained in 5 cases.

Therefore, probability of getting a number not greater than 5 =
