Question
There are 15 tickets in a box, each bearing one of the numbers from 1 to 15. One ticket is drawn at random from the box. Find the probability of event that the ticket drawn - shows an even number.
Solution
Sample Space (S) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}
∴ n(S) = 15
Event A: the ticket shows an even number
A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14}
∴ n(A) = 7
∴ `P (A) = (n(A))/(n(S))`
= `7/15`
Hence, the probability that the ticket shows an even number is `7/15`.

- Event A: to get at least one head.
- Event B: to get no head.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space, when two coins are tossed simultaneously.
∴ S = `{square, HT, TH, square}`
i. Event A: to get at least one head.
∴ A = `{HH, square, TH}`
ii. Event B: to get no head.
∴ B = `{square}`.
