An unbiased dice is tossed. What is the probability of getting a multiple of 2?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → \(\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\)
Probability = favourable outcomes ÷ total outcomes, and the six faces of an unbiased dice are equally likely.
Outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 — 6 in all
Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6 — 3 outcomes
P(multiple of 2) \(=\displaystyle\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}\)
