Question

Jack rolls a die on a table. What is the probability of getting a composite number?

• A. $\frac{1}{5}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 1

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

Number of possible outcomes when a die is rolled = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6} = 6

According to the question, the number of favorable outcomes = {4 and 6} = 2

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of possible outcomes}}$

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