The probability of getting an odd number when you roll a die, is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 0.50
Probability is the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes, when all outcomes are equally likely. A die has six faces, numbered 1 to 6, and each is equally likely to come up.
Total outcomes: the 6 faces
Favourable outcomes, the odd numbers 1, 3 and 5: 3
Probability of an odd number: \(\displaystyle\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}=0.50\)
