A bag contains a black ball, a red ball and a green ball, all the balls are identical in shape and size. A ball is drawn from the bag without looking into it. What is the probability that the ball drawn is:
(i) a red ball
(ii) not a red ball
(iii) a white ball.
उत्तर
Total number of possible outcomes = 3
∴ P(E) = `1/3`
(ii)
Not a red ball
Number of favourable outcomes
= Green ball + Black ball
= 1 + 1 + 2
∴ P(E) = `2/3`
(iii)
A white ball
Number of favourable outcomes = 0
∴ P(E) = `0/3 = 0`

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`
