a fair die is tossed ones, find the probability that it shows a. 3 b. An odd number c. Prime number d. A number less than 4.
Show work
a) The probability of getting a 3 on a fair die is 1/6 since there are 6 equally likely outcomes (numbers 1-6) and only one of them is a 3.
b) The probability of getting an odd number on a fair die is 3/6 = 1/2 since there are 3 odd numbers (1, 3, and 5) out of the 6 possible outcomes.
c) The probability of getting a prime number on a fair die is 3/6 = 1/2 since there are 3 prime numbers (2, 3, and 5) out of the 6 possible outcomes.
d) The probability of getting a number less than 4 on a fair die is 3/6 = 1/2 since there are 3 numbers less than 4 (1, 2, and 3) out of the 6 possible outcomes.
