A die is thrown 100 times. If the probability of getting an even number is . How many times an odd number is obtained?
Possible outcomes of a dice = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
of the given six possible outcomes,
{1, 3, 5} are 3 odd number and {2, 4, 6} are 3 even so,
here, there is an equal possibility of coming an odd number and even number in every throw.
Given the probability of getting an even number =
∴The probability of getting an odd number = 1 – Probability of getting an even number
=
Given the dice is thrown 100 times
∴ Number of times an odd number obtained =
