A die is thrown, find the probability of following events: A number less than $6$ will appear,
The sample space of the given experiment is given by
$S=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$
Let $E$ be the event of the occurrence of a number less than $6.$
Accordingly, $E =\{1,2,3,4,5\}$
$\therefore P(E)=\frac{\text { Number of outcomes favourableto } E}{\text { Total number of possible outcomes }}=\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{5}{6}$
