Correct answer
Explanation
A standard die has six faces: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The even numbers are 2, 4, and 6, which are three outcomes out of six, resulting in a probability of 3/6 or 1/2.
AI explanation
The sample space of a single die throw contains six elements, which are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The even numbers in this set are 2, 4 and 6, giving 3 favorable outcomes. Using the classical probability formula, the probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total outcomes, which is 3 divided by 6. The result is 1/2.
