A die is thrown, find the probability of getting:
a number greater than 4
उत्तर
A die has six numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
∴ Number of possible outcomes = 6
a number greater than 4
Numbers of favourable outcomes = greater than four i.e. two number 5 and 6
P(E) = `"Number of favourable outcomes"/"Number of all possible outcomes"`
= `2/6 = 1/3`

A card is drawn at random from a pack of well shuffled 52 playing cards. Complete the following activity to find the probability that the card drawn is:
Event A: The card drawn is an ace.
Event B: The card drawn is a spade.
Activity: 'S' is the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 52
Event A: The card drawn is an ace.
∴ n(A) = `square`
P(A) = `square` ......(formula)
∴ P(A) = `square/52`
∴ P(A) = `square/13`
Event B: The card drawn is a spade.
∴ n(B) = `square`
P(B) = `(n(B))/(n(S))`
∴ P(B) = `square/4`
