A die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting the number 5 ?

$\text{Step - 1: Calculating possible number of outcomes}$

                  $\text{required number is 5}$

                  $\text{number of favorable outcomes = 1}$

$\text{Step - 2: Calculating total outcomes }$

                  $\text{total outcomes = 1,2,3,4,5,6}$

                  $\text{total number of outcomes = 6}$

$\text{Step - 3: Calculating probability }$
                 $\text{The formula for probability = }\frac{\text{favorable outcome}}{\text{total number of outcome}}$

                 $\text{required probability = }\frac{1}{6}$

$\text{Hence , the required probability is (C) }\frac{1}{6}$
