A child has a die whose six faces show the letters as given below:
The die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting
(i) A? (ii) D?
Solution:
The die has 6 faces, and the faces show the letters: A, B, C, D, E, A. So, the total number of possible outcomes is 6.
(i) Probability of getting A:
There are 2 faces with A out of the 6 faces (since A appears twice).
The probability of getting A is:
(ii) Probability of getting D:
There is 1 face with D out of the 6 faces.
The probability of getting D is:
