Detailed explanation-1: -Probability is calculated by dividing the number of ways the event can occur by the total number of outcomes. Probability and odds are different concepts. Odds are the probability that something happens divided by the probability that it doesn’t happen.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are six possible outcomes-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The probability of getting any of the numbers is 1/6. As the event is an equally likely event so the possibility of getting any number is the same in this case it is 1/6 or 50/3%.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, to find the probability that a prime is selected from 1 to 10 requires us to divide the number of primes from 1 to 10 by 10. The numbers 2, 3, 5, 7 are prime, so the probability that a prime is selected is 4/10 = 40%.
