Question

The probability of getting a multiple of 2 when an unbiased die is thrown is $\frac{1}{2}$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Given,

Sample space for throwing a die = S{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

$\Rightarrow$ Total number of outcomes = 6

The multiples of 2 are 2, 4, 6.

$\Rightarrow$ Number of favourable outcomes = 3

Probability of an event, P(E) $=\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$

P ( getting a multiple of 2) $=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the probability of getting a multiple of 2 when an unbiased die is thrown is $\frac{1}{2}$.

Hence, the given statement is true.
