Question : 18

Total: 40

Solution:

Concept:

Probability is the ratio of favourable outcomes to total possible outcomes.

Explanation:

A fair die has six faces numbered

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

So, total possible outcomes

= 6

The favourable outcome for obtaining

4

is only one face, i.e.

4

Thus, favourable outcomes

= 1

\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{1}{6}

Answer:

The probability of obtaining

4

\frac{1}{6}

, which is option A.
