Question
If two dice are rolled simultaneously, find the probability of the following events.
Event A: The sum of the digits on the upper faces is at least 10
Solution
Sample space,
S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6),
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6),
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6),
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6),
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6),
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
∴ n(S) = 36
Let A be the event that the sum of the digits on the upper faces is at least 10.
∴ A = {(4, 6), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
∴ n(A) = 6
∴ P(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("S"))`
= `6/36`
∴ P(A) = `1/6`

In the adjoining figure, the arrow rests on any number, after the rotation of the disc. The probability that it will rest on any of the numbers on the disc is equal. Let A be any random event. To find the probability of A, fill in the boxes.
(1) S = `square`
(2) n(S) = `square`
(3) Let A be the event that arrow points at the number which is perfect cube.
A = `square`
∴ n(A) = `square`
(4) ∴ P(A) = `(n(A))/(n(S)) = square/square = square`

An urn contains 12 red balls, 15 yellow balls and 18 blue balls. A ball is choosen at random, then to find the probability of choosing a blue and red coloured balls, fill in the boxes.
Total number of balls = 12 + `square` + `square` = `square`
(1) Let E be the event that the choosen ball is blue.
Number of blue balls = `square`
Thus,
P(E) = `"Number of blue balls"/"Total number of balls"`
= `square/square`
(2) Let F be the event that the choosen ball is red.
Number of red balls = `square`
Thus,
P(F) = `square/"Total number of balls"`
= `square/square`
