Question

A single die is rolled. Find the probability of each of the following events :

A getting a number less than 4
B getting a number greater than 4

Answer 1

`(1)/(2)` and
`(1)/(3)`

There are 6 possible outcomes when rolling a die, 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5, 6

A

numbers less than 4 are 1, 2, 3

P( number less than 4 ) =
`(3)/(6)` =
`(1)/(2)`

B

numbers greater than 4 are 5, 6

P( number greater than 4 ) =
`(2)/(6)` =
`(1)/(3)`
