In a single throw of a die, what is the probability of getting a number greater than 3?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Probability \(=\) favourable outcomes \(\div\) total outcomes, when all outcomes are equally likely, as the six faces of a fair die are.
Total outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, that is, 6
Numbers greater than 3: 4, 5, 6, that is, 3
Probability \(\displaystyle =\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}\)
