Question
A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that card drawn is a queen
Solution
E⟶ event of getting a queen.
No. of favourable outcomes = 4 {4 queens}
We know that, P(E) =`"No.of favorable outcomes"/"Total no.of possible outcomes"`
P(E) =4/52 =1/13

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`
