An unbiased die is thrown. The probability of getting a multiple of 2 is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Probability = number of favourable outcomes ÷ number of possible outcomes, when all outcomes are equally likely (an unbiased die).
Possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, that is, 6 outcomes
Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, that is, 3 outcomes
Probability \(\displaystyle =\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}\)
