Question

What is the probability of getting an odd number less than 4 when a die is thrown?

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $\frac{1}{6}$
• C. 0
• D. $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 1

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

When a die is thrown the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
favourable outcomes (odd numbers less than 4) are 1 and 3.
So, total number of favourable outcomes is 2.
and Total number of outcomes is 6

P(odd numbers less than 4 when throwing a die) $=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$
