Question
A two digit number is to be formed from the digits 0,1,2,3,4,
without repetition of the digits. Find the probability that the number so
formed is a prime number
Solution
The sample space,
S = {10,12,13,14,20,21,23,24,30,31,32,34,40,41,42,43}
∴ n(S) = 16
Let A be the event that the number is a prime.
∴ A = {13,23,31,41,43}
∴ n(A) = 5
∴ `P(A) = (n(A))/(n(S)) = 5/16`

- 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}`
