Question
The six faces of a die are marked
The event M is getting a vowel on the upper face of the die when it is tossed. Complete the following activity and find the probability of the event.
`"S" = {square}`
`"n"("S") = square`
`"M" = {square}`
`"n"("M") =square`
`"P"("M") = square/square=square`
Solution
`s = { A , B ,C ,D ,E ,F}`
`n(s)=6 `
` M= { A, E} `
`n(M) = 2`
`P(M) = (n(M))/(n(S)) = 2/6 = 1/3`

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.
Event A: it is coffee chocolate.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 5 + 6 + 2 = 13
Event A: it is a coffee chocolate.
∴ n(A) = `square`
∴ P(A) = `square/("n"("S"))` .......[Formula]
P (A) = `square/13`
