An unbiased die is tossed. Find the probability of getting a multiple of 3.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → \(\frac{1}{3}\)
An unbiased die has six equally likely outcomes, 1 to 6, so the probability of an event is the number of favourable outcomes divided by 6.
The multiples of 3 on a die are 3 and 6, so there are 2 favourable outcomes
The probability is \(\displaystyle \frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\)
