A single letter is selected at random from the word ‘Probability’. Find the probability that it is a vowel.
उत्तर
Possible outcomes = S = {'P', 'r', 'o', 'b', 'a', 'b', 'i', 'l', 'i', 't, 'y'}
n(S) = 11
Event of selection of vowels = E = {'o', 'a', 'i', 'i'}
n(E) = 4
Probability of selection of a vowel = P(S)
= `"n(E)"/"n(S)"`
= `4/11`

A box contains tokens numbered 5 to 16. A token is drawn at random. Find the probability that the token drawn bears a number divisible by:
- 5
- Neither by 2 nor by 3
Fill in the boxes:
Sunita choose a card from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards.
Total number of cards, S = `square`
Let E be the event that the choosen card is a queen.
Number of queens = `square`
Thus, P(E) = `"Number of queens"/"Total number of cards" = square/square = square`
Fill in the boxes:
Sunita choose a card from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards.
Let F be the event that the choosen card is an eight of the spade.
Number of the eight of the spade = `square`
Thus, P(F) = `square/square`
= `square/square`
