A box contains 36 cards, bearing only one number from 1 to 36 on each. If one card is drawn at random, find the probability of an event that the card drawn bears, a number divisible by 3
उत्तर
Sample space,
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30,
31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36}
∴ n(S) = 36
Let C be the event that the card drawn bears a number divisible by 3.
∴ C = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36}
∴ n(C) = 12
∴ P(C) = `("n"("C"))/("n"("S"))`
∴ P(C) = `12/36`
∴ P(C) = `1/3`

Which of the following number cannot represent a probability?
If one die is rolled, then find the probability of the following event by completing the activity.
Event A: The number on the upper face is prime.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
∴ n(S) = 6
Event A: Prime number on the upper face.
A = {`square`}
∴ n(A) = 3
P(A) = `square/(n(S))` .....[Formula]
= `square/6`
∴ P(A) = `1/square`
In Adarsh High School, out of 30 students in a class 3 students wear glasses (spectacles). If a student in the class is randomly selected, find the probability that he or she wears glasses (spectacles) by completing the following activity
Activity: There are a total of 30 students in the class.
∴ n(S) = `square`
Event: A selected student wears glasses (spectacles).
∴ n(A) = `square`
P(A) = `square/("n"("S"))` ......[Formula]
P(A) = `square`
A box contains 5 strawberry chocolates, 6 coffee chocolates, and 2 peppermint chocolates. If one of the chocolates is picked from the box at random, find the probability of the following events by completing the activity.
Event A: it is coffee chocolate.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 5 + 6 + 2 = 13
Event A: it is a coffee chocolate.
∴ n(A) = `square`
∴ P(A) = `square/("n"("S"))` .......[Formula]
P (A) = `square/13`

An urn contains 12 red balls, 15 yellow balls and 18 blue balls. A ball is choosen at random, then to find the probability of choosing a blue and red coloured balls, fill in the boxes.
Total number of balls = 12 + `square` + `square` = `square`
(1) Let E be the event that the choosen ball is blue.
Number of blue balls = `square`
Thus,
P(E) = `"Number of blue balls"/"Total number of balls"`
= `square/square`
(2) Let F be the event that the choosen ball is red.
Number of red balls = `square`
Thus,
P(F) = `square/"Total number of balls"`
= `square/square`
