Question

the probability of tossing a number cube numbered 1-6 and getting and even number that is greater than or equal to 2

Answer 1

2, 4, 6 --> numbers that are even and greater than 2 on a number cube

1, 3, 5 ---> numbers that are not even and/or not greater than 2 on a number cube

So the probability of getting a even number that is greater than or equal to 2 is 3/6, which reduces to 1/2.

Answer 2

The probability of getting an even number that is greater than or equal to 2 is 1/2

What is probability?

"Probability is a branch of mathematics which deals with finding out the likelihood of the occurrence of an event."

Formula of the probability of an event A is:

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

where,  n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes,

n(S) is the total number of events in the sample space.

For given example,

the sample space for tossing a number cube numbered 1-6 would be,

n(S) = 6

Let event A: getting an even number that is greater than or equal to 2

⇒ A = {2, 4, 6}

⇒ n(A) = 3

So, the probability of getting an even number that is greater than or equal to 2 would be,

⇒ P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

⇒ P(A) = 3/6

⇒ P(A) = 1/2

Therefore, the probability of getting an even number that is greater than or equal to 2 is 1/2.
