A die is tossed thrice, find the probability of an odd number at least once- |
3/8 1/8 5/8 7/8 |
7/8 |
Probability of getting an odd number in a single through of a die = 3/6 = 1/2 Similarly, probability of getting an even number = 3/6 = 1/2 Probability of getting an even number three times = (1/2)x(1/2)x(1/2) = 1/8 Therefore, probability of getting an odd number art least once = 1 -(probability of getting an odd number in none of the throws) = 1 - (probability of getting an even number thrice) = 1- (1/8) = 7/8 |
