प्रश्न
Two dice are thrown at the same time. Determine the probability that the difference of the numbers on the two dice is 2.
उत्तर
The total number of sample space in two dice, n(S) = 6 × 6 = 36
Let E = Event of getting the numbers whose difference is 2
= {(1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5), (4, 6), (3, 1), (4, 2), (5, 3),(6, 4)}
∴ n(E) = 8
∴ P(E) = `(n(E))/(n(S)) = 8/36 = 2/9`

The table given below shows the months of birth of 36 students of a class:
| Month of birth |
Jan. | Feb. | Mar. | Apr. | May | June | July | Aug. | Sept. | Oct. | Nov. | Dec. |
| No. of students |
4 | 3 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 6 | 1 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
A student is choosen at random. Fill in the boxes.
Total number of students = `square`
Let E be the event that the selected student is born in June.
Then,
Number of times event E occurs = `square`
So, P (selected student is born in June)
P(E) = `"Number of students born in June"/square`
= `square/square`
= `square`
