Question
A box contains 75 tickets numbered 1 to 75. A ticket is drawn at random from the box. Find the probability that, Number on the ticket is prime
Solution
One ticket is drawn from tickets numbered 1 to 75.
∴ sample space S is given by
S = {1, 2, 3, ..., 74, 75}
∴ n(S) = 75
C ≡ event that number on the ticket is a prime number
∴ C = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73}
∴ n(C) = 21
∴ P(C) = `("n"("C"))/("n"("S"))`
= `21/75`
= `7/25`
