Points to Remember

p(E) = Probability of Event.
n(E) = Total number of required outcomes.
n(S) = Total number of Possible outcomes.

 

 


Example #1 – Probability problem on Dice

Find probability of getting a total more than 7, when sequentially throw of a pair of dice.

  1. 2/12
  2. 3/12
  3. 5/12
  4. 7/12

Answer: Option (C)
How to Solve
Here n(S) is Total number of Possible outcomes.
So, n(S) = ( 6 x 6 )
= 36.

Here E = Event of getting a total more than 7.
= [ (2, 6), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6) ]

So, p(E) = n(E) / n(S)
= 15/36
= 5/12.

Example #2 – Probability problem on Dice

A dice is thrown. What is the probability that the number shown on the dice is an divisible by 2 number?

  1. 1/2
  2. 2/3
  3. 3/4
  4. 4/5

Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
S = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
n(S) = 6.

E an number is divisible by 2 = { 2 , 4 , 6 }.
So, n(E) = 3.

So, p(E) = n(E) / n(S)
= 3/6
= 1/2.

Example #3 – Probability problem on Dice

A dice is thrown. What is the probability that the number shown on the dice is an odd number?

  1. 1/6
  2. 1/4
  3. 1/3
  4. 1/2

Answer: Option (D)
How to Solve
S = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
n(S) = 6.

E an odd number is = { 1, 3, 5 }
So, n(E) = 3.

So , p(E) = n(E) / n(S)
= 3/6
= 1/2.

Example #4

A dice is thrown. What is the probability that the number shown on the dice is a divisible by 3 number?

  1. 1/2
  2. 1/3
  3. 1/4
  4. 1/5

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
S = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
n(S) = 6.

E an number is divisible by 3 = { 3, 6 }
So, n(E) = 2.

So , p(E) = n(E) / n(S)
= 2/6
= 1/3.

Example #5

A dice is thrown. What is the probability that the number shown on the dice is an even number?

  1. 1/2
  2. 1/3
  3. 1/5
  4. 1/7
