Question
Nine cards (identical in all respects) are numbered 2 to 10. A card is selected from them at random. Find the probability that the card selected will be an even number or a multiple of 3.
Solution
There are 9 cards from which one card is drawn.
Total number of elementary events = n(S) = 9
From numbers 2 to 10, there are 7 numbers which are even numbers or a multiple of 3 i.e. 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10
Favorable number of events = n(E) = 7
Probability of selecting a card with a number which is an even number or a multiple of 3 = `(n(E))/(n(S)) = 7/9`
