Question
A box contains 36 cards, bearing only one number from 1 to 36 on each. If one card is drawn at random, find the probability of an event that the card drawn bears, a prime number
Solution
Sample space,
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30,
31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36}
∴ n(S) = 36
Let B be the event that the card drawn bears a prime number.
∴ B = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31}
∴ n(B) = 11
∴ P(B) = `("n"("B"))/("n"("S"))`
∴ P(B) = `11/36`

A bag contains 8 red and some blue balls. One ball is drawn at random from the bag. If ratio of probability of getting red ball and blue ball is 2:5, then find the number of blue balls.
An urn contains 12 red balls, 15 yellow balls and 18 blue balls. A ball is choosen at random, then to find the probability of choosing a blue and red coloured balls, fill in the boxes.
Total number of balls = 12 + `square` + `square` = `square`
(1) Let E be the event that the choosen ball is blue.
Number of blue balls = `square`
Thus,
P(E) = `"Number of blue balls"/"Total number of balls"`
= `square/square`
(2) Let F be the event that the choosen ball is red.
Number of red balls = `square`
Thus,
P(F) = `square/"Total number of balls"`
= `square/square`
