A die is thrown, find the probability of following events: (i) A prime number will appear; (ii) A number greater than or equal to 3 will appear; (iii) A number less than or equal to one will appear; (iv) A number more than 6 will appear; (v) A number less than 6 will appear.
Solution:
An experiment consists of throwing a die. ∴ The sample space of the experiment is given by S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} (i) Let E be the event that a prime number will appear. E = {2, 3, 5} ∴ P (E) = = = (ii) Let F be the event that a number ≥ 3 will appear. F = {3, 4, 5, 6} ∴ P (F) = = = (iii) Let G be the event that a number ≤ 1 will appear. G = {1} ∴ P (G) = = (iv) Let H be the event that a number more than 6 will appear. H = ϕ ∴ P (H) = = = 0 (v) Let I be the event that a number less than 6 will appear. I = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} ∴ P (I) = =
