Question
In a single throw of a dice, find the probability of getting a number less than 8.
Solution
Sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
n(S) = 6
If we consider to find the probability of number less than 8, then all six cases are favourable
n(E) = 6
Probability of getting a number less than 8 = P(S)
= `(n(E))/(n(S))`
= `6/6`
= 1
