Question

There are 6 cards in a box with numbers from 1 to 6 marked on each of them. (1) What is the probability of drawing a card with number 3? (2) What is the probability of drawing a card with number greater than 4?​

Answer 1

1) 1/6

2) 2/6

Hope it will help you mate

1) Possible outcomes=1,2,3,4,5,6

Probability of getting no. 3

= No of times we can get no. 3

______________________

Total possible outcomes

=1/6

2) Possible outcomes=5,6

Probability of getting 5 and 6=2

= No of times we can get no. 5 and 6

------------------------------------------------------------

Total possible outcomes

=2/6= 1/3

Answer 2

Given :

• There are 6 cards in a box with numbers from 1 to 6 marked on each of them.

To Find :

• Probability of drawing a card with number 3 .
• Probability of drawing a card with number greater than 4.

Solution :

$\longmapsto\tt{Total\:Outcomes=6}$

= 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6

1. Probability of drawing a card with number 3 :

$\longmapsto\tt{Favourable\:Outcomes=1\:(3)}$

Using Formula :

$\longmapsto\tt\boxed{Probability=\dfrac{No.\:of\:Fav.\:Outcomes}{Total\:no.\:of\:Outcomes}}$

Putting Values :

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{\dfrac{1}{6}}$

So , The Probability of getting a number 3 is 1/6 .

2. Probability of drawing a card with number greater than 4 :

$\longmapsto\tt{Favourable\:Outcomes=2\:(5\:and\:6)}$

Using Formula :

$\longmapsto\tt\boxed{Probability=\dfrac{No.\:of\:Fav.\:Outcomes}{Total\:no.\:of\:Outcomes}}$

Putting Values :

$\longmapsto\tt{\cancel\dfrac{2}{6}}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{\dfrac{1}{3}}$

So , The Probability of getting a number 3 is 1/3 .
