Question

A single die is rolled. Find the probability of each of the following events :

Answer 1

$\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$

There are 6 possible outcomes when rolling a die, 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5, 6

A

numbers less than 4 are 1, 2, 3

P( number less than 4 ) = $\frac{3}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

B

numbers greater than 4 are 5, 6

P( number greater than 4 ) = $\frac{2}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$
