Question 48 of 55intermediate🔧 ApplyShort Answer3 marks

A die has two faces each with number ‘1’, three faces each with number ‘2’ and one face with number ‘3’. If die is rolled once, determine (i) P(2) (ii) P(1 or 3) (iii) P(not 3)

(i)
Answer

P(2) = 1/2

(ii)
Answer

P(1 or 3) = 1/2

(iii)
Answer

P(not 3) = 5/6

Explanation

This question tests understanding of probability with a non-standard die. The key is to correctly identify the total number of faces and the favourable outcomes for each event. Since the die has 6 faces in total (2+3+1), the sample space has 6 equally likely outcomes.
