Find the probability that he chooses:
- a Wednesday
- a Friday
- a Tuesday or a Saturday.
उत्तर
Number of possible outcomes = number of day in the month = 31
n(S) = 31
i. E = event of selection of a Wednesday = {1, 8, 15, 22, 29}
n(E) = 5
Probability of selection of a Wednesday = P(S)
= `"n(E)"/"n(S)"`
= `5/31`
ii. E = event of selection of a Friday = {3, 10, 17, 24, 31}
n(E) = 5
Probability of selection of a Friday = P(S)
= `"n(E)"/"n(S)"`
= `5/31`
iii. E = event of selection of a Tuesday or a Saturday = {4, 7, 11, 14, 18, 21, 25, 28}
n(E) = 8
Probability of selection of a Tuesday or a Saturday = P(S)
= `"n(E)"/"n(S)"`
= `8/31`

A bag contains in all 50 balls. Some of them are white, some are blue and some are red. The number of white balls is 11 times the number of blue balls.
