Question

When an unbiased dice is rolled, the probability of getting 3 on the dice is .

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

Answer 1

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

We know,
$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

When a dice is rolled, we get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 on the dice.

So, total number of outcomes = 6

Number of favorable outcomes = 1

Hence, the probability of getting 3 on $\text{rolling a dice is}\frac{1}{6}.$
