A die thrown. Find the probability of getting:

(i) a prime number


(ii) 2 or 4


(iii) a multiple of 2 or 3


(i) Outcomes of a die are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5 and 6


Total number of outcome = 6


Prime numbers are: 1, 3 and 5


Total number of prime numbers = 3


Probability of getting a prime number =


Therefore probability of getting a prime number =


(ii) Outcomes of a die are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5 and 6


Total number of outcome = 6


Probability of getting 2 and 4 is =


Therefore probability of getting 2 and 4 is


(iii) Outcomes of a die are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5 and 6


Multiples of 2 and 3 are = 2, 3, 4 and 6


Total number of multiples are 4


Probability of getting a multiple of 2 or 3 is =


Therefore probability of getting a multiple of 2 or 3
