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


The possible outcomes when a dice is thrown = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Number of possible outcomes of a dice = 6


(i) Prime numbers on a dice are 2, 3, and 5.


Total prime numbers on a dice = 3


Probability of obtaining a prime number =


=


(ii) Numbers lying between 2 and 6 = 3, 4, 5


Total numbers lying between 2 and 6 = 3


Probability of obtaining a number that lies between 2 and 6 =


=


(iii) Odd numbers on a dice = 1, 3, and 5


Total odd numbers on a dice = 3


Probability of obtaining an odd number =


=
