प्रश्न
A die is thrown once. The probability of getting an even number is
विकल्प
`1/2`
`1/3`
`1/6`
`5/6`
उत्तर
Total number of outcomes = 6.
Out of the given numbers, even numbers are 2, 4 and 6.
Numbers of favourable outcomes = 3.
∴ P(getting an even number) = `("Number of favourable outcomes")/"Number of all possible outcomes"`
`= 3/6 = 1/2`
Thus, the probability of getting an even number is `1/2`.
Hence, the correct answer is option `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`
