Step by Step Explanation:
  1. Let us assume that S, E, and P are the sample space, event, and probability of getting an even number, respectively.
    S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6}
    E = {2, 4, 6}
  2. P(E) = 
    n(E)
    n(S)
     
    (Since, P(E) is the probability of getting an event E, n(E) is the number of elements in the event E and n(S) is the number of elements in the sample space (S).)
    P(E) =  
    1
    2
     
  3. Hence, the probability of getting an even number is  
    1
    2
         .
