उत्तर
Cards are marked with one of the numbers 4, 5, 6…20 are placed in a box and mixed thoroughly. One card is picked at random.
TO FIND: Probability of getting an even number on the picked card.
Total number of cards is 20-3=17
Cards marked even number are 4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20
Total number of cards marked even is 9
`"We know that PROBABILITY" = "Number of favourable event"/"Total number of event"`
Hence probability of getting an even number on the card `=9/17`
