Question
A die is thrown. Write the sample space (S) and number of sample points n(S) and also write event A of getting even number on the upper surface and write n(A).
Solution
The sample space (S) is
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
No. of sample points = n(S) = 6
Let A be the event of getting an even number.
A= {2, 4, 6}
⇒ n(A)=3
