A fair die is thrown until a score of less than 5 points is obtained. The probability of obtaining not less than 2 points on the last thrown is
A
¾
B
5/6
C
4/5
D
1/3
Answer
¾
Explanation
Solution
Score less than 5 means the occurrence of 1, 2, 3, or 4. Now on the last throw we should not obtain a score less then 2 i.e. one. Clearly the favourable outcomes are 2, 3 or 4.
Thus the required probability = ¾
