find the probablity that when a die is thrown the number shown is:
*an even number.

Dear student
Outcomes when a die is thrown=1,2,3,4,5,6No. of outcomes when a die is thrown=6Favourable outcomes of getting an even number=2,4,6No. of outcomes of getting an even number=3So, Required probability=No. of outcomes of getting an even numberNo. of outcomes when a die is thrown=36=12

the formula of probability is = no. of outcomes/total outcomes
so, total outcomes = 6 , no. of outcomes = 3(2,4,6 are even no.)
= 3/6
= 1/2
   So, 1/2 i.e. half is the probability that when a die is thrown and the no. is even(2,4,6 even numbers)
