Question
There are six cards in a box, each bearing a number from 0 to 5. Find the probability of the following event, that a card drawn show, a number is greater than 5.
Solution
Total number of cards = 6
Number of cards bearing a number greater than 5 = 0
Therefore, required probability =`\text { Number of cards bearing a number greater than 5}/\text { Total number of cards}`
`=0/6`
=0
Hence, the probability that a card drawn shows a number greater than 5 is 0.

The table given below shows the months of birth of 36 students of a class:
| Month of birth |
Jan. | Feb. | Mar. | Apr. | May | June | July | Aug. | Sept. | Oct. | Nov. | Dec. |
| No. of students |
4 | 3 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 6 | 1 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
A student is choosen at random. Fill in the boxes.
Total number of students = `square`
Let E be the event that the selected student is born in June.
Then,
Number of times event E occurs = `square`
So, P (selected student is born in June)
P(E) = `"Number of students born in June"/square`
= `square/square`
= `square`
