Question

Determine the probability of occurence of the following single eventsA "4" appears in a single toss of a die

Answer 1

The probability of an event occuring is found using the formula

`\frac{possible\text{ outcome}}{\text{total possible outcome }}`

There is only "one" 4, in a die, out of a total of "six" numbers labelled 1 to 6.

So, possible outcome = 1

Total possible outcome = 6, since the die was tossed once.

Probability becomes

`(1)/(6)`

Hence the answer is

`(1)/(6)`
