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, number less than 1.
Solution
Total number of cards = 6
Number of cards bearing a number less than 1 = 1
Therefore, required probability =`\text { Number of cards bearing a natural numberless than 1}/\text { Total number of cards}`
= `1/6`
Hence, the probability that a card drawn shows a number less than 1 is `=1/6`.
