A die is tossed thrice. Find the probability of getting an odd number at least once.
Given: A die is tossed thrice.
The sample space S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Let P(A) = probability of getting an odd number in first throw.
⇒ P(A) = .
Let P(B) = probability of getting an even number.
⇒ P(B) = .
Now, probability of getting an even number in three times =
So, probability of getting an odd number at least once
= 1 – probability of getting an odd number in no throw
= 1 - probability of getting an even number in three times
∴ probability of getting an odd number at least once =
