Question

If we roll a die, there are total six possible outcomes (1,2,3,4,5,6). What is the probability of getting 2?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{6}$

Suppose a die is rolled, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Each number appearing on the face of a die does not affect the other numbers. Each number has a probability of $\frac{1}{6}$ to occur when a die is rolled. It does not depend on the number that it shows.

For instance, the probability that we roll a die and 2 comes is $\frac{1}{6}$, since there is only single 2 on the cube.
