Answer

Probability of getting an odd number = $\frac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

When a die is rolled, probability = $\frac{Number of favorable outcomes}{Total number of outcomes}$ When a die is rolled, total number of outcomes = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} = 6 When getting a odd number, the favorable outcomes = (1, 3, 5) = 3 When a die is rolled, probability of getting a odd number = $\frac{3}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$
