What is the probability of getting an odd number in a single dice throw?

The probability of getting an odd number in a single dice throw is 1/2 or 50%.

A dice has six faces numbered from 1 to 6. Out of these six numbers, three are odd (1, 3, and 5) and three are even (2, 4, and 6). Therefore, the probability of getting an odd number in a single dice throw can be calculated as follows:

P(Odd number) = Number of favourable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes

P(Odd number) = 3 / 6

P(Odd number) = 1 / 2

Hence, the probability of getting an odd number in a single dice throw is 1/2 or 50%.

It is important to note that the probability of getting an odd number is the same as the probability of getting an even number, as both have three favourable outcomes out of six possible outcomes. Therefore, the probability of getting an even number in a single dice throw is also 1/2 or 50%.
