Question

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

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{2}$

On rolling a dice, we get, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

So, total number of outcomes = 6

Number of favorable outcome = {2,4,6} = 3

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

$=\frac{3}{6}$

$=\frac{1}{2}$

So, the probability of getting an even $\text{number on the dice is}\frac{1}{2}.$
