Q26 of 43 Page 15

(v) A number less than 6 will appear.


In this case, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Total number of possible outcomes = 6.

(i) Number of outcomes favourable to the event "a prime number" = 3 (i.e., 2, 3, 5)
P(prime number) = =

(ii) Number of outcomes favourable to the event "a number greater than or equal to 3" = 4 (i.e., 3, 4, 5,6)
P(a number greater than or equal to 3) = =

(iii) Number of outcomes favourable to the event, "a number less than or equal to one" = 1 (i.e., 1).
P(a number less than or equal to one) =

(iv) Number of outcomes favourable to the event 'a number more than 6" = 0
P(a number more than 6) = = 0.

(v) Number of outcomes favourable to the event "a number less than 6" = 5 (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
P(a number less than 6) = .
