A game of chance consists of spinning an arrow, which comes to rest pointing at one of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and these are equally likely outcomes. Find the probability that the arrow will point at any factor of 8.
उत्तर
Number of all possible outcomes = 8
Let E be the event of getting any factor of 8.
These numbers are 1, 2, 4 and 8.
∴ P(arrow will point at any factor of 8) = P(E) = `"Number of outcomes favourable to"/"Number of all possible outcome" = 4/8 = 1/2`
Thus, the probability that the arrow will point at any factor of 8 is `1/2.`

In fig. 7 is shown a disc on which a player spins an arrow twice. The fraction `a/b` is formed, where 'a' is the number of sector on which arrow stops on the first spin and 'b' is the number of the sector in which the arrow stops on second spin. On each spin, each sector has equal chance of selection by the arrow. Find the probability that the fraction `a/b>1.`
