(a) a prime number.
(b) an odd number
उत्तर
Total outcomes of throwing a dice once are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
(1) Probability of getting a prime number
Prime numbers are 2, 3 and 5 in throwing a die once
Probability of getting a prime number = `3/6 = 1/2`
(2) Probability of getting an odd number
odd numbers are those that are not divisible by 2.
So, there three odd numbers in throwing a dice once which is 1, 3 and 5.
Probability of getting an odd number = `3/6 = 1/2`

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`
