Question

What is the probability of getting an even number on the roll of a six-sided die? 1/6 1/3 1/2

Answer 1

Answer: 1/2

Explanation:

The sample space when a six sided die is thrown once is :

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

The even numbers are :

{2,4,6}

Therefore :

P(even) = n(even) / total number

That is

P(even) = 3/6

P(even) = 1/2
