In a single throw of a die, find the probability of getting:
(v) a number less than 8
(vi) a number divisible by 3
In a single throw of a die, find the probability of getting:
(v) a number less than 8
(vi) a number divisible by 3

(v) Let E be the event of getting a number less than 8.

Outcomes favourable to E is 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Number of favourable outcomes = 6

P(E) = 6/6 = 1

Hence the probability of getting a number less than 8 is 1.

(vi) Let E be the event of getting a number divisible by 3.

Outcomes favourable to E is 3,6.

Number of favourable outcomes = 2

P(E) = 2/6 = 1/3

Hence the probability of getting a number divisible by 3 is 1/3.
