Step 1: Identify the sample space and number of possible outcomes

          NOTE: The sample space of an experiment or random trial is the set of all

          possible outcomes or results of that experiment

                    

            Die has sample space S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

              Number of outcomes n(S) = 6


Step 2: Determine the favorable outcomes for getting a prime number?

            

          Favourable outcomes for getting prime number  (E) = { 2, 3, 5}

            Number of favourable outcomes n(E) = 3


           FORMULA:  P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of trials in which the event happened}}{\text{Total number of trials}}


            Probability P(E) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
