Question

The probability of getting a prime number when a die is rolled is $\frac{1}{2}$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

The possible outcomes when a die is rolled are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Among the outcomes, the prime numbers are 2, 3, 5.

So, the number of favourable outcomes = 3 and the number of possible outcomes = 6.

$\therefore$ The probability of getting a prime number is = $\frac{3}{6}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$
