Question
In a single throw of a dice, find the probability of getting a number greater than 4.
Solution
Sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
n(s) = 6
E = event of getting a number greater than 4 = {5, 6}
n(E) = 2
Probability of a number greater than 4 = `(n(E))/(n(s)) = 2/6 = 1/3`

Write a sample space when a die is thrown
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}`.
