A child has a die whose 6 faces show the letter given below:
The die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting (i) A, (ii) D?
(i) Total letter on the dice are: 6
Let E be the event of getting letter ‘A’
Then, the numbers of favourable outcomes are = 3
∴ P (getting letter ‘A’) = P (E) = 3/6 = 1/2 or 50%
(ii) Total letter on the dice are: 6
Let E be the event of getting letter ‘D’
Then, the number of favourable outcomes is= 1
∴ P (getting letter ‘D’) = P (E) = 1/6 or 16. 67%
