Numbers from 1, 2, 3….. 35 are a total of 35. Total no. of possible outcomes = 35 (i) Let E = event of getting a prime number No. of favourable outcomes =11 {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31) Probability, P(E) = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes P(E) = 11/35 (ii) Let E = event of getting a number which is a multiple of 7 No. of favourable outcomes = 5 {7, 14, 21, 28, 35} Probability, P(E) = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes P(E) = 5/35 = 1/7 (iii) Let E = Event of getting no which is multiple of 3 or 5 No. of favourable outcomes = 16 {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 5, 10, 20, 25, 35} Probability, P(E) = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes P(E) = 16/35
