Find the probability of getting an even number in a single throw of a six-sided die.
A
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
B
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
C
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
D
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
The die has faces 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Even numbers are 2, 4, 6 (3 outcomes). Total outcomes are 6.
Probability = \(\frac{3}{6}\)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\).
