Question

In a single throw of a symmetrical die the probability that a number less than $4$ is obtained, given that the throw resulted is an odd number is

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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{2}{3}$

Possibilities of an odd number showing up$=1,3$ and $5$
Odd numbers less than $4$ are $1$ and $3$
The probability that a number less than $4$ given it is odd $=\frac{2}{3}$
