Question : 32

Total: 40

Solution:

Concept:

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

Explanation:

When a die is thrown, the possible outcomes are

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

So, the total number of outcomes is

6

We need the numbers greater than

5

The only number greater than

5

on a die is

6

Thus, the number of favourable outcomes is

1

Probability

= \frac{\text{favourable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}} = \frac{1}{6}

Answer:

\frac{1}{6}

Option B is the correct answer.
