Question

A number cube with sides marked with

the numbers 1 through 6 is tossed on a
table. What is the probability that the
number obtained will be an even
number?
A. 1 in 6
B. 2 in 6
C. 1 in 2
D. 2 in 3

Answer 1

C. 1 in 2

Explanation:

even numbers are 0, 2, 4, 6 etc.
the even numbers in a number cube are
2, 4, 6
so there is 3 possible results
all the numbers in the number cube are 6 numbers
so it is 3/6 times we can get an even number
by simplifying 3/6 (dividing by 3) we get 1/2
