Solution

The correct option is A P(O)=12

The desired outcome is same as favorable outcome, i.e., Getting an odd number.
Let S be the sample space obtained when we roll a die.
S={1,2,3,4,5,6}

Let P(O) denotes the probability of getting an odd number when a die is rolled.

P(O)=Number of favorable outcomeTotal number of outcomes

In this case,
Number of favorable outcome =3, i.e., {1,3,5}
Total number of outcomes =6, i.e., {1,2,3,4,5,6}

P(O)=36

P(O)=12

The probability of obtaining an odd number when a die is rolled is 12.
Favorable outcome = Getting an odd number

The desired outcome is "getting an odd number" as getting an odd number signifies a "WIN" situation.


The desired outcome is same as favorable outcome, i.e., Getting an odd number.

Therefore, option (a.) is the correct answer.
