Question

9. A box contains 50 discs which are numbered 1 to 50. If one disc is drawn at random from the box. Find the probability that it bears: a 2 digit no. (ii) a perfect square no. (iii) a no. divisible by 5​

Answer 1

The probability that it bears a 2 digit no. is 41/50; a perfect square no is; 3/25; a no. divisible by 5​ is; 0.2

How to find the probability?

We are given;

Number of Discs in box = 50

Type of discs in box = Numbered 1 to 50

i) Number of 2 digit numbers = 41

Thus;

P(2 digit numbers) = 41/50

ii) Perfect square numbers are; 4, 9, 16, 25, 36 and 49. Thus;

P(perfect square number) = 6/50 = 3/25

iii) Numbers divisible by 5 are; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50.

Thus;

P(numbers divisible by 5) = 10/50 = 0.2
