Explanation

A die has 6 faces: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The odd numbers are 1, 3, 5. Probability = 3/6 = 1/2.

AI explanation

A single throw of a die creates a sample space of 6 possible outcomes, consisting of the integers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The odd numbers within this sample space are 1, 3, and 5, providing exactly 3 favorable outcomes. The probability is calculated by dividing the favorable outcomes by the total outcomes, resulting in 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2.
