Probability

Question:

A fair die is thrown until a score of less than 5 points is obtained. The probability of obtaining not less than 2 points on the last throw is

Options:

3/4

5/6

4/5

1/3

Correct Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

Score less than 5 means the occurrence of 1, 2, 3, or 4. Now on the last throw we should not obtain a score less then 2 i.e. one. Clearly the favourable outcomes are 2, 3 or 4.

Thus the required probability = 3/4
