Gopibuys a fish from a shop for his aquarium. The shopkeeper takes out one fish at random from a tank containing 5 male fish and 8 female fish.
What is the probability that the fish taken out is a male fish?
Number of male fish = 5
Number of female fish = 8
Total number of fish = 13
i.e. n(s) = 13
Let A be the favourable outcomes of getting a male fish. Then
N(a) = 5
Therefore, P(A) =
(i) 8?
(ii) an odd number?
(iii) a number greater than 2?
(iv) a number less than 9?
A die is thrown once, find the probability of getting
(i) a prime number.
(ii) a number lying between 2 and 6.
(iii) an odd number.
