The possible outcomes when a die is thrown= {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Total number of possible outcomes = 6

Number of odd number, {1,3,5} = 3

And, number of even numbers {2,4,6} = 3

Hence, both these events are equally likely

\therefore P(getting\ an\ odd) = \frac{favourable\ outcomes}{total\ outcomes} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
