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:
We use the basic concepts of probability to solve the question.
Total number of outcomes = 6
(i) Probability of getting A = Number of possible outcomes/Total number of favourable outcomes
Number of possible outcomes for the letter A = 2
= 2/6
(ii) Probability of getting D = Number of possible outcomes/Total number of favourable outcomes
= 1/6
The probability of getting A and D is 2/6 and 1/6.
