Answer» Sample space : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Total possibilities = 6 i) A=getting 8 = zero possiblity P(A) = 0/6 = 0 ii) B = a number greater than 8 = zero possiblity P(B) = 0/6 = 0 iii) C = number less than 8 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} P(C) = 6/6 = 1

In a single throw of a die, find the probabilityof getting:9.(ii) a number greater than 8(ii) a number less than 8

Answer»

Sample space : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Total possibilities = 6

i) A=getting 8 = zero possiblity

P(A) = 0/6 = 0

ii) B = a number greater than 8 = zero possiblity

P(B) = 0/6 = 0

iii) C = number less than 8 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} P(C) = 6/6 = 1
