Probability Calculation for Even Number Dice Throw
To find the probability of an event, we use the formula:
$ P(\text{Event}) = \frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}} $
Total Possible Outcomes
When a standard six-faced dice is thrown, the possible outcomes are the numbers on its faces. The set of possible outcomes is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes is 6.
Favourable Outcomes for an Even Number
We are interested in the event of getting an even number. The even numbers in the set of possible outcomes are {2, 4, 6}.
Thus, the number of favourable outcomes is 3.
Calculating the Probability
Using the probability formula:
$ P(\text{Even Number}) = \frac{\text{Number of even numbers}}{\text{Total numbers on the dice}} $
$ P(\text{Even Number}) = \frac{3}{6} $
Simplifying the fraction gives:
$ P(\text{Even Number}) = \frac{1}{2} $
So, the probability of getting an even number when a dice is thrown is $\frac{1}{2}$.
