Find the probability that the last page number ends in
(i) an odd number
(ii) an even number
(iii) a multiple of 3. [4 MARKS]

Answer 1

Concept: 1 Mark
Solution:1Mark each

Number of books = 10.
Books with last page number ending in odd number = 7.
Required probability =$\frac{7}{10}$ = 0.7.
Books with last page number ending in even number = 3.
Required probability =$\frac{3}{10}$ = 0.3.
Books with last page number ending in a multiple of 3 = 3.
Required probability = $\frac{3}{10}$ = 0.3.
