A die is thrown once. Find the probability of getting(i) a prime number; (ii) a number lying between 2 and 6; (iii) an odd number.

Explanation

Here, sample space, `S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}`

So, `n(S) = 6`


(i)Prime numbers in given sample space, ` E_p= {2,3,5}`

So,`n(E_p) = 3`

Probability of getting a prime number, `P(E_p) = 3/6 = 1/2`



(ii)Number lying between 2 and 6 in given sample space,`E_b = {3,4,5}`
