A die is thrown. Find the probability of getting an even prime number.

Given that a die is thrown.
A die consists of six sides and it has

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

and

6

dots.
The number that can be an even and at the same time prime is

2

.
Let us assume that the probability of getting an even prime number be

= P (A)

.
As we know that probability can be found with the formula is,

Probability = \frac{Number of favorable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}

The favorable outcomes will be only

1

.
The total outcomes in a die are

6

.
Using the formula,

\Rightarrow P (A) = \frac{1}{6}

So, the probability of getting an even prime number is

\frac{1}{6}

.
Hence, the option

1

is correct.
