योग

उत्तर

Number of possible outcomes = number of day in the month = 31 

n(S) = 31 

i. E = event of selection of a Wednesday = {1, 8, 15, 22, 29} 

n(E) = 5 

Probability of selection of a Wednesday = P(S)

= `"n(E)"/"n(S)"`

= `5/31` 

ii. E = event of selection of a Friday = {3, 10, 17, 24, 31} 

n(E) = 5 

Probability of selection of a Friday = P(S)

= `"n(E)"/"n(S)"`

= `5/31` 

iii. E = event of selection of a Tuesday or a Saturday = {4, 7, 11, 14, 18, 21, 25, 28} 

n(E) = 8 

Probability of selection of a Tuesday or a Saturday = P(S)

= `"n(E)"/"n(S)"`

= `8/31`
