A die is thrown. Find the probability of obtaining a perfect square on its upper surface.

iv. A die is thrown. Find the probability of obtaining a perfect square on its upper surface.

Ans. Since a die is thrown

Sample Space = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

∴n(S) = 6

Let A = Event of getting a perfect square on its upper surface.

∴A = {1, 4}

∴ n(A) = 2

P(A)	=	n(A)	=	2	=	1
		n(S)		6		3
