Q13 of 50 Page 15

A die is thrown 100 times. If the probability of getting an even number is 2/5. How many times is an odd number obtained?

Concept Used:



Explanation:


Possible outcomes of a dice = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}


of the given six possible outcomes,


{1, 3, 5} are 3 odd number and {2, 4, 6} are 3 even


So, there is an equal possibility of coming an odd number and even number in every throw.


Given the probability of getting an even number = 2/5


∴The probability of getting an odd number = 1 – Probability of getting an even number


Given the dice is thrown 100 times


∴ Number of times an odd number obtained .
