8. An unbiased cubic die is thrown. Find the probability of getting (iii) a number divisible by , (iv) a number less than .

(iii)

The probability that getting a number divisible by ,

The number divisible by in the die

Now, the number of favorable outcomes to the event getting a number divisible by

Thus,

P(getting a number divisible by ) = Favorable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

(iv)

The probability that getting a number less than ,

The number less than 4 in the die

Now, the number of favorable outcomes to the event getting a number less than

Thus,

P(getting a number divisible by ) = Favorable outcomes/Total number of outcomes
