Cards numbered 1 to 30 are put in a bag. A card is drawn at random from the bag. Find the probability that the number on the drawn card is not divisible by 3,
उत्तर
Total number of outcomes = 30.
Let E1 be the event of getting a number not divisible by 3.
Out of these numbers, numbers divisible by 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 and 30.
Number of favourable outcomes = 30 − 10 = 20
∴ P(getting a number not divisible by 3) = P(E1) = `("Number of outcomes favourable to" E_1)/"Number of all possible outcomes"`
`= 20/30 = 2/3`
Thus, the probability that the number on the card is not divisible by 3 is `2/3`.

A card is drawn at random from a pack of well shuffled 52 playing cards. Complete the following activity to find the probability that the card drawn is:
Event A: The card drawn is an ace.
Event B: The card drawn is a spade.
Activity: 'S' is the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 52
Event A: The card drawn is an ace.
∴ n(A) = `square`
P(A) = `square` ......(formula)
∴ P(A) = `square/52`
∴ P(A) = `square/13`
Event B: The card drawn is a spade.
∴ n(B) = `square`
P(B) = `(n(B))/(n(S))`
∴ P(B) = `square/4`
Three coins are tossed simultaneously. What is the probability of getting at least one head?
