A die is rolled, then the probability that a number 1 or 6 may appear is

When a die is rolled there are in total 6 possibilities.


n(S) = 6


Let E denote event of getting 1 or 6


n(E) = 2


P(E) = 2/6 = 1/3


Hence,


P(E) = 1/3


As our answer matches only with option (c)


Option (c) is the only correct choice.
