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

Write a sample space if two coins are tossed simultaneously
Two coins are tossed simultaneously. Complete the following activity to write the sample space and the given events A and B in the set form:
Event A: To get at least one head.
Event B: To get no head.
Activity:
Two coins are tossed simultaneously.
∴ Sample space is
S = `{square, HT, TH, square}`
Event A: To get at least one head.
∴ A = `{square, HT, TH}`
Event B: To get no head.
∴ B = `{square}`
