Question
A dice is thrown once. Find the probability of getting an even number or a multiple of 3.
Solution
Sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
n(S) = 6
E = the event of getting an even number or a multiple of 3 = {2, 3, 4, 6}
n(E) = 4
Probability of getting an even number or a multiple of 3 = P(S)
= `(n(E))/(n(S))`
= `4/6`
= `2/3`

Form a ‘Road Safety Committee’ of two, from 2 boys (B1, B2) and 2 girls (G1, G2).
Complete the following activity to write the sample space :
- Committee of 2 boys = `{square}`
- Committee of 2 girls = `{square}`
- Committee of one boy and one girl = `{B_1G_1, B_1G_2, square, square}`
- ∴ Sample space (S) = `{(B_1 B_2),(B_1 G_1), square, square, (B_2 G_2),(G_1 G_2)}`
