A box contains cards bearing numbers 6 to 70. If one card is drawn at random from the box, find the probability that it bears a composite number between 50 and 70.
उत्तर
Let E4 be the event of getting a composite number between 50 and 70.
Out of these numbers, composite numbers between 50 and 70 are 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68 and 69.
Number of favourable outcomes = 15.
∴ P(getting a composite number between 50 and 70) = P(E4) = `("Number of outcomes favourable to" E_2)/"Number of all possible outcomes"`
`= 15/65=3/13`
Thus, the probability that the card bears a composite number between 50 and 70 is `3/13`.

A game of chance consists of spinning an arrow on a circular board, divided into 8 equal parts, which comes to rest pointing at one of the numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., 8 (Fig. 9), which are equally likely outcomes. What is the probability that the arrow will point at (i) an odd number (ii) a number greater than 3 (iii) a number less than 9.
In fig. 7 is shown a disc on which a player spins an arrow twice. The fraction `a/b` is formed, where 'a' is the number of sector on which arrow stops on the first spin and 'b' is the number of the sector in which the arrow stops on second spin. On each spin, each sector has equal chance of selection by the arrow. Find the probability that the fraction `a/b>1.`
