What is the probability of getting 1 or 2 while throwing a dice?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Probability \(=\) number of favourable outcomes \(\div\) number of all equally likely outcomes. A die has six faces, numbered 1 to 6, and each is equally likely to come up.
All outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, that is 6 outcomes
Favourable outcomes: either a 1 or a 2 will do, that is 2 outcomes
Probability \(\displaystyle =\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\)
