Find the probability of getting a number greater than 5 when a fair dice is thrown.  Ops:   A. 1/3    B. 2/3    C. 1/2    D. 1/6

A fair dice has 6 faces, numbered from 1 to 6. The numbers greater than 5 are 6. So, there is only 1 favorable outcome.

Step 1: Identify the total number of outcomes. When a dice is thrown, there are 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

Step 2: Identify the number of favorable outcomes. In this case, the favorable outcome is getting a number greater than 5. There is only one number greater than 5 on a dice, which is 6. So, there is only 1 favorable outcome.

Step 3: Calculate the probability. The probability of an event is given by the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

So, the probability of getting a number greater than 5 when a fair dice is thrown is 1/6.

Therefore, the answer is D. 1/6.
