## Text Solution

What is known?

A die has six faces which show the letters as shown in the diagram and it is thrown once.

 $$A$$ $$B$$ $$C$$ $$D$$ $$E$$ $$A$$

What is unknown?

The probability of getting (i) $$\rm A?$$ (ii) $$\rm D?$$

Steps:

Total number of outcomes = $$6$$

(i) Probability of getting $$\rm A$$

\begin{align}& =\frac{\text{Number of possible outcomes}}{\text{No of favourable outcomes}} \\& =\frac{2}{6} \\\end{align}

(ii) Probability of getting $$\rm D$$

\begin{align}& =\frac{\text{Number of possible outcomes}}{\text{No of favourable outcomes}} \\ & =\frac{1}{6} \\\end{align}

The probability of getting $$\rm A$$ and $$\rm D$$ is \begin{align}\frac{2}{6}\text{ and }\frac{1}{6}\end{align}
