Question

If you roll a die, what is the probability of getting a number greater than $3$?

A. $\frac{1}{2}$

B. $\frac{1}{3}$

C. $\frac{1}{4}$

D. $\frac{2}{3}$

• A. 1/2
• B. 1/3
• C. 1/4
• D. 2/3

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1/2

Numbers we get when we roll a dice $=1,2,3,4,5,6$

Numbers greater than $3=4,5,6$

so, No. of outcomes $=3$

Total outcomes $=6$

$P($getting a no. greater than $3)=\frac{\text{No. of outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

$=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$
