Question

In a single throw of a die what is the probability of getting a number greater than $4$?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{3}$

When a die is thrown we have
S={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Let E= event of getting a number greater than
4={5,6}
$\therefore P\left(E\right)=\frac{n\left(E\right)}{n\left(S\right)}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$
