14.Probability
easy

A die is thrown, find the probability of following events:  A number greater than or equal to $3$ will appear.

A

$\frac{2}{3}$

B

$\frac{2}{3}$

C

$\frac{2}{3}$

D

$\frac{2}{3}$

Solution

The sample space of the given experiment is given by 

$S=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$

Let $B$ be the event of the occurrence of a number greater than or equal to $3$ . Accordingly,

$B =\{3,4,5,6\}$

$\therefore P(B)=\frac{\text { Number of outcomes favourable to } B }{\text { Total number of possible outcomes }}=\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$
