Question
A die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting a number greater than 4?
Solution
A dice is thrown once
TO FIND: Probability of getting a number greater than 4
Total number on a dice is 6.
Numbers greater than 4 are 5 and 6
Total number of numbers greater than 4 is 2
`"We know that PROBABILITY"=" Number of favourable event"/"Total number of event"`
`"Hence probability of getting a number greater than 4 is equal to" =2/6=1/3`
`"Hence probability of getting a number greater than 4 is "1/3`

A card is drawn at random from a pack of well shuffled 52 playing cards. Complete the following activity to find the probability that the card drawn is:
Event A: The card drawn is an ace.
Event B: The card drawn is a spade.
Activity: 'S' is the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 52
Event A: The card drawn is an ace.
∴ n(A) = `square`
P(A) = `square` ......(formula)
∴ P(A) = `square/52`
∴ P(A) = `square/13`
Event B: The card drawn is a spade.
∴ n(B) = `square`
P(B) = `(n(B))/(n(S))`
∴ P(B) = `square/4`
