Assessment: WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 1997 (Objective) Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

What is the probability of having an odd number in a single throw of a fair die with the faces numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6?

Answer Details
There are six possible outcomes when a fair die is rolled, which are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Since three of these numbers are odd (1, 3, and 5), and the die is fair (meaning that each outcome is equally likely), the probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2. Therefore, the answer is 1/2.
