When a die is thrown, list the outcomes of an event of getting - (a) a prime number (b) not a prime number.
- (a) a number greater than 5 (b) a number not greater than 5.
- (a) a prime number (b) not a prime number.
- (a) a number greater than 5 (b) a number not greater than 5.
Solution and Explanation
(i) (a) Outcomes of event of getting a prime number are \(2, 3\) and \(5\).
(b) Outcomes of event of not getting a prime number are \(1, 4\) and \(6\).
(ii) (a) Outcomes of event of getting a number greater than \(5\) is \(6\).
(b) Outcomes of event of not getting a number greater than \(5\) are \(1, 2, 3, 4\) and \(5\).

Concepts Used:
Probability
Probability is defined as the extent to which an event is likely to happen. It is measured by the ratio of the favorable outcome to the total number of possible outcomes.
The definitions of some important terms related to probability are given below:
Sample space
The set of possible results or outcomes in a trial is referred to as the sample space. For instance, when we flip a coin, the possible outcomes are heads or tails. On the other hand, when we roll a single die, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Sample point
In a sample space, a sample point is one of the possible results. For instance, when using a deck of cards, as an outcome, a sample point would be the ace of spades or the queen of hearts.
Experiment
When the results of a series of actions are always uncertain, this is referred to as a trial or an experiment. For Instance, choosing a card from a deck, tossing a coin, or rolling a die, the results are uncertain.
Event
An event is a single outcome that happens as a result of a trial or experiment. For instance, getting a three on a die or an eight of clubs when selecting a card from a deck are happenings of certain events.
Outcome
A possible outcome of a trial or experiment is referred to as a result of an outcome. For instance, tossing a coin could result in heads or tails. Here the possible outcomes are heads or tails. While the possible outcomes of dice thrown are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
