When a dice is thrown once, find the probability of getting an even number.

As known, when a dice is thrown there are six possible outcomes,

$( 1,\ 2,\ 3,\ 4\ ,5\ ,6)$

And we know $( 2,\ 4\ ,\ 6)$ are even numbers.

$\therefore $ Numbers of favourable outcomes$=3$

As known probability of favourable outcomes$=\frac{number of favourable outcomes}{Number of total possible outcomes }$

$\therefore $ Probability  of getting an even number$=\frac{number of favourable outcomes}{Number of total possible outcomes }$

                                                                              $\mathbf{=\frac{3}{6} =\frac{1}{2}}$
