Question

State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

In a throw of a dice, the probability of getting an even number is the same as that of getting an odd number.

Answer 1

True.

The even numbers in a dice are 2, 4 and 6.

Probability = total number of even numbers/ Total numbers

= 3/6 … [divide numerator and denominator by 3]

= ½

The odd numbers in a dice are 1, 3 and 5.

Probability = total number of odd numbers/ Total numbers

= 3/6 … [divide numerator and denominator by 3]

= ½
