Question

What is the probability of getting a number 7 in a single throw of a dice?

• A. \( 0 \)
• B. \( \frac{1}{8} \)
• C. \( \frac{1}{12} \)
• D. \( \frac{1}{36} \)

Hint:

If an event cannot happen (such as rolling a 7 on a standard die), its probability is 0.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

A standard die has 6 faces, numbered 1 to 6. Since 7 is not a number on the die, the probability of getting a 7 is: \[ P(\text{getting 7}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{0}{6} = 0 \] Thus, the probability is \( 0 \).
