(i) When a die is throw the possible outcomes are S={1,2,3,4,5,6}" out of which "1,3,5 " are odd," ∴ Required probability= 3 6 = 1 2 (ii) When a fair coin is tossed two times the sample space is S=(HH,HT,TH,⊤} In at least one head favourable enonts are HH, HT, TH ∴ Required probability = 3 4 (iii) Total cards = 52 Favourable = 4 king +2 of heart +3 of spade =4+1+1=6 ∴Required probability = 6 52 = 3 26 (iv) When a pair of dice is rolled total sample parts are 36. Out of which (1,5), (5,1), (2,4), (4,2) and (3,3), ∴Required probability = 5 36
