The probability of getting an even number when a single fair six-sided die is rolled is 12\frac{1}{2}21 or 50%. Explanation:
- A fair die has six faces numbered 1 through 6.
- The even numbers on the die are 2, 4, and 6 - so there are 3 favorable outcomes.
- The total number of possible outcomes is 6.
- Probability is calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes:
Probability=36=12=0.5=50%\text{Probability}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5=50%Probability=63=21=0.5=50%
This means there is an equal chance of rolling an even number as there is of rolling an odd number on a fair die
