प्रश्न
A game of chance consists of spinning an arrow which is equally likely to come to rest pointing to one of the numbers 1, 2, 3,..., 12 as shown in the figure. What is the probability that it will point to an even number ?
उत्तर
The possible outcomes are 1,2, 3,4, 5................12.
Number of all possible outcomes = 12
Out of the given numbers, the even numbers are 2, 4, 6, 8,10 and 12
Let E2 be the event of getting an even number.
Then, number of favourable outcomes = 6
∴ P (arrow pointing at an even number) = P( E2) = `6/12 = 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.`
