No of times 25 30 45 28 40 32

A die rolled 200 times. The outcome obtained are shown in the table above.

What is the probability of obtaining a number less than 3 ?

A.

0.125

B.

0.150

C.

0.275

D.

0.500

E.

0.725

Correct answer is C

Prob(less than 3) = \(\frac{25 + 30}{200}\)

= \(\frac{11}{40}\)

= 0.275

A die is rolled 200 times the outcomes obtained are shown in the table below. Find the probability of obtaining 2.

A.

0.002

B.

0.015

C.

0.15

D.

16

E.

0.2

Correct answer is C

What is the probability that the total sum of seven would appear in toss of a fair die?

A.

5/36

B.

1/6

C.

7/36

D.

5/6

E.

1

Correct answer is B

No of possible outcome = 36

Required outcome (R) = {(1, 6), (6, 1), (2, 5), (5, 2), (3, 4), (4, 3)}

n(R) = \(\frac{6}{36}\)

= \(\frac{1}{6}\)

What is the probability of having an even number in a single toss of a fair die?

A.

1/6

B.

1/3

C.

1/2

D.

2/3

E.

5/6

Correct answer is C

Prob(even number in single toss) = \(\frac{3}{6}\)

= \(\frac{1}{2}\)

A fair die is rolled once. What is the probability of obtaining a number less than 3?

A.

1/6

B.

1/3

C.

2/3

D.

1/2

E.

5/6

Correct answer is B

Prob(less than 3) = \(\frac{2}{6}\)

= \(\frac{1}{3}\)
