Question

What is the probability of getting an even number when a die is rolled?

• A. $1$
• B. $0$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. 0.5

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

The correct options are
C

$\frac{1}{2}$

D

0.5

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

Among the outcomes, the even numbers are 2, 4, 6.

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

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

= $\frac{1}{2}$
