Question

A teacher made a pack of 50 cards and
numbered them 1 to 50. She asked one of the students to pick a card . what is the probability that the card picked is : (i) a multiple of 5?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

sample space =50

n(s)=50

Let 'A: be the Event : a multiple of 5

A={5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50}

n(A)=10

P(A)=n(a)

n(s)

P(A)=10

50

P(A)=1

5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

A teacher made a pack of 50 cards and

numbered them 1 to 50. She asked one of the students to pick a card .

To find:-

what is the probability that the card picked is : (i) a multiple of 5?

Solution:-

Numbers on the cards =from 1 to 50

Sample space={1,2,3...,50}

Total number of numbers =50

Total number of possible outcomes=50

Multiples of 5=5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50

Number of favourable outcomes=10

Picking up a card from the given pack of 50 cards is a random experiment and multiple of 5 is an event then

Probability of an Event=P(E)=

No. of Favourable outcomes/Total no. of possible outcomes

Probability of getting a multiple of 5=

P(5)=10/50

P(5)=1/5

Answer:-

Probability of getting a multiple of 5=1/5

Used Formula:-

Probability of an event=P(E)=

Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of possible outcomes
