In a single throw of a die, what is the probability of getting a number greater than 4?
Answer/Solution
1/3
Steps/Work
Solution
When a die is thrown, we have S= {1,2,3,4,5,6}.
Let E = event of getting a number greater than 4= {5, 6}.
•P(E)= n(E) / n(S)
= 2/6
= 1/3.
Answer B
When a die is thrown, we have S= {1,2,3,4,5,6}.
Let E = event of getting a number greater than 4= {5, 6}.
•P(E)= n(E) / n(S)
= 2/6
= 1/3.
Answer B
