Question
Assertion (A): A die is thrown once and the probability of getting an even number is `2/3`.
Reason (R): The sample space for even numbers on a die is {2, 4, 6}.
Options
A is true, R is false.
A is false, R is true.
Both A and R are true.
Both A and R are false.
Solution
A is false, R is true.
Explanation:
In assertion, when a dice is thrown the total outcomes = 6
Even numbers = {2, 4, 6} i.e. 3
Required probability = `3/6 = 1/2`
So, assertion is false
In reason part, the even number on a dice is {2, 4, 6}
So, reason is true.

Write the sample space if two coins are tossed.
When two dice are thrown, the number of sample points in the sample space are ______
Two coins are tossed simultaneously. Write the sample space (S) and expected sample points in the given events by completing the activity.
- Event A: to get at least one head.
- Event B: to get no head.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space, when two coins are tossed simultaneously.
∴ S = `{square, HT, TH, square}`
i. Event A: to get at least one head.
∴ A = `{HH, square, TH}`
ii. Event B: to get no head.
∴ B = `{square}`.
