Question

When a die is rolled what will be the probability of an event of getting 6 as the outcome?

• A. $\frac{5}{6}$
• B. $\frac{1}{6}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{6}$

When a die is rolled we can have the sample space as below:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Here the total number of events is 6 and the favorable outcome is 1.

Probability = $\frac{Numberoffavorableoutcomes}{Totalnumberofoutcomes}$

$\therefore P\left(6\right)=\frac{1}{6}$

The probability of getting 6 is $\frac{1}{6}$. The other events would be where we get a number other than 6 and the probability of that would be $\frac{5}{6}$.
