Solution

Let S be the sample space.S = 1,2,3,4,5,6.nS = 6a.Let E be the event of getting a multiple of 3Now, E = 3,6nE = 3PE = nEnS = 26 = 13b.Let F be the event of getting a number less than 6.Now, F = 1,2,3,4,5nF = 5Now, PF = nFnS = 56c.Let G be the event of getting a number divisible by 5.Now , G = 5nG = 1Now, PG = nGnS = 16d.Let H be the event of getting a number between 3 and 6.H = 4, 5nH = 2PH = nHnS = 26 = 13
