Question

What is the probability of getting a number greater than $5$ when die is thrown.

Answer 1

When a dice is thrown then its sample space contains $6$ points and they are $\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$.

In the sample space there is only one number $>5$ and it is $6$.

So we have only one choice to get a number $>5$.

$\therefore$ the probability of getting a number $>5$ is $=\frac{1}{6}$.
