A die is tossed once. Find the probability of getting a prime number.
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Explanation

Sample space = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Prime numbers = ( 2, 3, and 5)

Pr(prime Nos) = \(\frac{\text{number of required outcome}}{\text{total possible outcome}} = \(\frac{3}{6}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
