Answer:

P(even number) =
(1)/(2)

Explanation:

the probability (P) of an event occurring is

P = ( desired outcome ) / (number of possible outcomes )

here the desired outcome is an even number , that is 2, 4, 6 ( 3 outcomes )

and possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , that is 6 outcomes

Then probability of an even number when a single die is thrown is

P ( even number ) =
(3)/(6) =
(1)/(2)
