Question
Let E be an event and P(E) = `6/7`, then find the value of P(not E).
Options
`1/7`
`6/7`
1
0
Solution
`bb(1/7)`
Explanation:
Given: P(E) = `6/7`
We know, P(not E) = 1 – P(E)
= `1 - 6/7`
= `(7 - 6)/7`
= `1/7`

If one die is rolled, then find the probability of the following event by completing the activity.
Event A: The number on the upper face is prime.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
∴ n(S) = 6
Event A: Prime number on the upper face.
A = {`square`}
∴ n(A) = 3
P(A) = `square/(n(S))` .....[Formula]
= `square/6`
∴ P(A) = `1/square`
A card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of the event, the card drawn is a red card.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 52
Event A: Card drawn is a red card.
∴ Total red cards = `square` hearts + 13 diamonds
∴ n(A) = `square`
∴ P(A) = `square/(n("S"))` ......[Formula]
P(A) = `26/52`
P(A) = `square`

A box contains 5 strawberry chocolates, 6 coffee chocolates and 2 peppermint chocolates. If one of the chocolates is picked from the box at random, find the probability of the following events by completing the activity.
Activity : Let ‘S’ is the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 5 + 6 + 2 = 13
Event B: it is a peppermint chocolate.
∴ n(B) = `square`
∴ P(B) = `square/("n"("S"))` .......[Formula]
P(B) = `square/13`
