Question

In a single throw of a die,the probability of getting a number greater than 6 is___

• A. 1
• B. 1/6
• C. 1/3
• D. 0

Answer 1

The correct option is D

0

Since no face of the die has number 6 marked on it, there is no outcome favourable to 7 and hence the number of favourable outcomes is zero.

$\therefore$ The probability of getting number 7 = $\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$ = $\frac{0}{6}$ = 0
