A bag contains 18 balls out of which x balls are red. If the ball is drawn at random from the bag, what is the probability that it is not red?
उत्तर
Total number of balls = 18.
Number of red balls = x.
Number of balls which are not red = 18 − x
∴ P(getting a ball which is not red) =`("Number of favourable outcome")/("Number of all possible outcomes")`
`=(18-x)/18`
Thus, the probability of drawing a ball which is not red is `(18-x)/18`.

Two digit numbers are formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 where digits are not repeated.
P is the event that the number so formed is even.
Q is the event that the number so formed is greater than 50.
R is the event that the number so formed is divisible by 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`
