A die is thrown. Find the probability of getting a number lying between 2 and 6.
Solution:
The likelihood of an event happening is measured by probability. Many things are difficult to completely predict in advance. Using it, we can only forecast the probability, or likelihood, of an event occurring.
Given: A dice is thrown once
Total number on a dice is 6.
Numbers lying between 2 and 6 are 3, 4 and 5
So, the total number of numbers lying between 2 and 6 is 3.
We know that, Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes
Thus, the probability of getting a number lying between 2 and 6 = 3/6 =1/2
