Question
A handbag contained fifty ten rupees note, thirty-five fifty rupees note and fifteen hundred rupee note. One note is drawn from a handbag. What is the probability of getting:
Ten rupees note
Solution
Total number of notes = 50 + 35 + 15 = 100
Let E1 represent the event in which the chosen note is a 10 rupee note.
The number of ten rupee notes is 50.
Thus, P(E1) = `"Number of ten rupees note"/"Total number of notes"`
= `50/100`
= `1/2`

A card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of the event, the card drawn is a red card.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 52
Event A: Card drawn is a red card.
∴ Total red cards = `square` hearts + 13 diamonds
∴ n(A) = `square`
∴ P(A) = `square/(n("S"))` ......[Formula]
P(A) = `26/52`
P(A) = `square`
