The probability of getting a multiple of 2 when a dice is rolled is
(a) 1/6
(b) 1/3
(c) 1/2
(d) 2/3

Solution:

Given a die is rolled , so Sample space will be 6 as a die has 6 faces

2 is one among the six faces

Multiples of 2 are 2,4,6

These are 3 in number

Hence , its probability is 3/6=1/2

✦ Try This: The probability of getting a multiple of 5 when a dice is rolled is (a) 1/6, (b) 1/3, (c) 1/2, (d) 2/3

Given a die is rolled , so Sample space will be 6 as a die has 6 faces

5 is one among the six faces

Multiple of 5 less than 6 is only 1.

Hence , its probability is 1/6
