प्रश्न
Three different coins are tossed together. Find the probability of getting at least two tails.
उत्तर
When three coins are tossed together, the possible outcomes are
HHH, HTH, HHT, THH, THT, TTH, HTT, TTT
∴ Total number of possible outcomes = 8
Favourable outcomes of at least two tails are THT, TTH, HTT, TTT
∴ Total number of favourable outcomes = 4
∴ P(at least two tails) =`4/8=1/2`

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`
