Question

What is the probability of not getting an odd number in a throw of a die once?

• A. \( 0 \)
• B. \( \frac{1}{2} \)
• C. \( \frac{1}{3} \)
• D. \( 1 \)

Hint:

For a fair die, each face has an equal probability of \( \frac{1}{6} \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

A die has six numbers: \( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 \). The odd numbers are \( 1, 3, 5 \), and the even numbers are \( 2, 4, 6 \).
Since half of the numbers are even, the probability of not getting an odd number is:
\[ \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}. \]
