Box I contains 30 cards numbered I to 30 and Box II contains 20 cards numbered 31 to 50. A box is selected at random and a card is drawn from it. The number on the card is found to be a non-prime number. The probability that the card was drawn from Box I is :
Let Ec denote the complement of an event E. Let E1, E2 and E3 be any pairwise independent events withP(E1) > 0 and is equal to

Leap year contains 366 days.
∴ there are 52 complete weeks and two days other. The following are the possibilities for these two ‘over’ days:
(i) Sunday and Monday (ii) Monday and Tuesday (iii) Tuesday and Wednesday
(iv) Wednesday and Thursday (v) Thursday and Friday (vi) Friday and Saturday (vii) Saturday and Sunday.
Now there will be 53 Tuesdays in a leap year when one of the two over days is a Tuesday.
∴ out of 7 possibilities, two are favourable to this event.
