The possible outcomes are 1,2, 3,4, 5................19.
Number of all possible outcomes = 19
(i) Out of the given numbers, the prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7,11,13,17,and 19.
Let E
1 be the event of getting a prime number.
Then, number of favourable outcomes = 8
∴ P (getting a prime number) =
(ii) Out of the given numbers, the numbers divisible by 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18.
Out of the given numbers, the numbers divisible by 5 are 5,10 and 15.
Let E
2 be the event of getting a number divisible by 3 or 5.
Then, number of favourable outcomes = (6 + 3 − 1) = 8
∴ P (getting a number divisible by 3 or 5 ) =
(iii) Out of the given numbers, the numbers divisible by 5 or by 10 are 5, 10, 15.
Let E
3 be the event of getting a number which is neither divisible by 5 nor by 10.
Then, number of favourable outcomes = 19 −3 = 16
∴ P (getting a number which is neither divisible by 5 nor by 10) =
(iv) Out of the given numbers , the even numbers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18.
Let E4 be the event of getting an even number.
Then, number of favourable outcomes = 9
∴ P (getting an even number) =
