What is the probability of having an odd number in a single toss of a fair die?
Answer Details
A fair die has six faces numbered from 1 to 6. Each face has an equal chance of showing up when the die is rolled. To find the probability of rolling an odd number, we need to count the number of odd faces on the die, which are 1, 3, and 5.
Since there are three odd faces out of the six possible faces, the probability of rolling an odd number is:
Probability of rolling an odd number = Number of odd faces / Total number of faces
Probability of rolling an odd number = 3 / 6
Probability of rolling an odd number = 1/2
Therefore, the probability of having an odd number in a single toss of a fair die is 1/2.
