3.The probability of getting a multiple of 7 is
(a) $\frac{1}{6}$$\quad$ (b) $\frac{1}{4}$$\quad$ (c) $\frac{1}{3}$$\quad$ (d) $\frac{1}{2}$$\quad$
4. The probability of getting a multiple of both 2 and 3 is
(a) $\frac{1}{4}$$\quad$ (b) $\frac{1}{3}$$\quad$ (c) $\frac{5}{12}$$\quad$ (d) $\frac{1}{2}$$\quad$
5. How many of the following events are possible (likely to happen)?
I. Getting an even prime number.
II. Getting an odd composite number.
III. Getting a multiple of both 3 and 5.
IV. Getting a multiple of both 3 and 7.
(a) 1$\quad$ (b) 2$\quad$ (c) 3$\quad$ (d) All of these$\quad$

Answer

Total number of possible outcomes $=12$.
1. $( d )$ : Number of favourable outcomes $=$ number of odd numbers $=9$.
$\therefore \quad P($ getting an odd number $)=\frac{9}{12}=\frac{3}{4}$.
2. (a): Number of favourable outcomes = number of prime numbers $(23,31,17)=3$.
$\therefore \quad P($ getting a prime number $)=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$.
3. (a): Number of favourable outcomes $=$ number of multiples $7(42,91)=2$.
$\therefore \quad P($ getting a multiple of 7$)=\frac{2}{12}=\frac{1}{6}$.
4. (a): Number of favourable outcomes $=$ number of multiples of both 2 and 3
$=$ number of multiples of $6(42,78,54)$
$=3$
$\therefore \quad P($ getting a multiple of both 2 and 3$)=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$.
5. (c): The only even prime number is 2 which is not there on spinner wheel.
So, $P($ getting an even prime number $)=0$.
$P($ getting an odd composite number $)=\frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{2}$.
$(\because$ odd composite numbers are $81,27,25,91,15,39)$
$P($ getting a multiple of both 3 and 5$)=P($ getting a multiple of 15$)=\frac{1}{12}$.
$P($ getting a multiple of both 3 and 7$)=P($ getting a multiple of 21$)=\frac{1}{12}$.
