Answer the following:

  1. A die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting:
    a) a perfect number
    b) a perfect square composite number
    c) an even composite number
    d) a number which has at least two factors
    e) at most 2
    f) a number which is either a multiple of 2 or 3
    g) a number which is not a factor of 12
    h) an even number
    i) a number greater than 3
    j) a number between 3 and 6
    k) a prime number
    l) a number lying between 2 and 6
    m) an odd number
    n) a number greater than 4
    o) a number less than or equal to 4
    Answers:
    a) Number of possible outcomes is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
    The only perfect number in between 1 and 6 is 6
    So number of favourable outcome is 1
    Probability of getting a perfect number = 1/6
    b) The only perfect square composite number is 4.
    So the probability is 1/6
    c) Even composite numbers are 4 and 6 only.
    So number of favourable outcome is 2.
    Probability of getting an even composite number = 2/6 = 1/3
    d) The numbers which have at least two factors are 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
    So number of favourable outcome is 5.
    Probability of getting a number which has at least two factors = 5/6
    e) Probability of getting at most 2= 2/6 = 1/3
    f) A number which is a multiple of 2 or 3 are 2, 3, 4, and 6.
    So number of favourable outcome is 4.
    Probability = 4/6 = 2/3
    g) A number which is not a factor of 12 are 5.
    So number of favourable outcome is 1
    Probability of getting a number which is not a factor of 12 = 1/6
    h) Even numbers are 2, 4 and 6.
    So number of favourable outcome is 3
    Probability of getting an even number = 3/6 = ½
    i) Numbers greater than 3 are 4, 5 and 6.
    So number of favourable outcome is 3
    Probability of getting a number greater than 3 = 3/6 = ½
    j) Numbers between 3 and 6 are 4 and 5.
    So number of favourable outcome is 2.
    Probability of getting a number between 3 and 6 = 2/6 = 1/3
    k) Prime numbers are 2, 3 and 5.
    So number of favourable outcome is 3.
    Probability of getting a prime number = 3/6 = ½
    l) Numbers lying between 2 and 6 are 3, 4 and 5.
    So number of favourable outcome is 3
    Probability of getting a number lying between 2 and 6 = 3/6 = ½
    m) Odd numbers are 1, 3 and 5.
    So number of favourable outcome is 3.
    Probability of getting an odd number = 3/6 = ½
    n) Numbers greater than 4 are 5 and 6.
    So number of favourable outcome is 2
    Probability of getting a number greater than 4 = 2/6 = 1/3
    o) Numbers less than or equal to 4 are 1, 2, 3 and 4
    So number of favourable outcome is 4.
    Probability of getting a number less than or equal to 4 = 4/6 = 2/3
