Question
Using the digits 0, 2, 3, 5 the two-digit numbers are constructed without repetition of digits. Find the probability of the following events:
Condition for event A: The number formed is even.
Solution
As we have to form two-digit numbers, 0 cannot be at tens place.
The Sample Space S = {20, 23, 25, 30, 32, 35, 50, 52, 53}
∴ n (S) = 9
Let A be the event that the number formed is even.
Even two-digit numbers = {32, 52, 20, 30, 50}
⇒ n(A) = 5
Thus, P(A) = `"Number of even digits numbers"/"Total number of two-digits numbers"`
= `5/9`

If one die is rolled, then find the probability of the following event by completing the activity.
Event A: The number on the upper face is prime.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
∴ n(S) = 6
Event A: Prime number on the upper face.
A = {`square`}
∴ n(A) = 3
P(A) = `square/(n(S))` .....[Formula]
= `square/6`
∴ P(A) = `1/square`
