17 cards numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, …. ,17 are put in a box and mixed thoroughly. A card is drawn at random from the box. Find the probability that the card drawn bears (i) an odd number (ii) a number divisible by 5.

Answer»

Total numbers of outcomes = 17

(i) Odd numbers on the cards = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 }

Numbers of favorable odd numbers = 9

P (getting an old number) = 9/17

(ii) Numbers divisible by 5 form 1 to 17 = {5, 10, 15}

Number of favorable outcome = 3

P (getting a number divisible by 5) = 3/17
