Question

Find the probability of getting a number grater than $2$ or an even number in a single throw of a fair die

• A. $\frac{1}{3}$
• B. $\frac{2}{3}$
• C. $\frac{5}{6}$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{5}{6}$

Probability of getting an even number or a number greater than '2' can be also be

refered as probability of not getting the number '1' in a fair die.

$\Rightarrow$ Probability getting '1' is $\frac{1}{6}$

$\therefore$ Probability of getting an even number or a number $>24$ $1\frac{-1}{6}=\frac{5}{6}$
