When a die is thrown, list the outcomes of an event of getting
(i) (a) a prime number (b) not a prime number
(ii) (a) a number greater than 5 (b) a number not greater than 5.

Solution:

All the possibilities of an event are known as its outcomes.

When a die is thrown, there are six possible outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

(i) (a) Outcome of the event of getting a prime number are 2, 3 and 5

(b) Outcome of the event of not getting a prime number are 1, 4, and 6.

(ii) (a) Outcome of the event of getting a number greater than 5 is 6.

(b) Outcome of the event of not getting a number greater than 5 are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
