a) A number card is drawn randomly from a group of number card numbered from 1 to 30. Find the probability of getting a card which is exactly divisible by 5 or 7. b) Thre are 20 toys of same shape and size in a box. Out of them 12 are red coloured and remaining blue coloured. If two toys are drawn randomly in succession (without replacement), show the probabilities of all possible outcomes in a tree-diagram.

Answer

a) Probability of a card divisible by 5 or 7

Step 1: Total number of possible outcomes The number cards are numbered from 1 to 30. Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes is:

12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293057101415202125

Step 2: Find numbers divisible by 5 Numbers divisible by 5 between 1 and 30 are: Total numbers divisible by 5:

Step 3: Find numbers divisible by 7 Numbers divisible by 7 between 1 and 30 are: Total numbers divisible by 7:

Step 4: Find numbers divisible by both 5 and 7 (i.e., divisible by 35) Since 35 > 30, there are no numbers divisible by both 5 and 7 in this range:

Step 5: Calculate probability of divisible by 5 or 7 Using the formula for the probability of :

Final Answer: The probability of drawing a card divisible by 5 or 7 is .


b) Probabilities of all possible outcomes (Tree Diagram)

Step 1: Total number of toys

  • Total toys = 20
  • Red toys = 12
  • Blue toys = 8

Step 2: Probabilities for first draw

  • Probability of drawing a red toy first:
  • Probability of drawing a blue toy first:

Step 3: Probabilities for second draw (without replacement)

  • If first toy is red:

    • Remaining red toys = 11
    • Remaining blue toys = 8
    • Probability of drawing red second:
    • Probability of drawing blue second:
  • If first toy is blue:

    • Remaining red toys = 12
    • Remaining blue toys = 7
    • Probability of drawing red second:
    • Probability of drawing blue second:

Step 4: Combined probabilities for all outcomes

  • Probability of drawing two red toys:
  • Probability of drawing one red and one blue toy (in any order):
  • Probability of drawing two blue toys:

Cards divisible by 5 or 7 (A ∪ B) = {5, 7, 10, 14, 15, 20, 21, 25, 28, 30}

Final Answer: The tree diagram above shows the probabilities of all possible outcomes when two toys are drawn in succession without replacement. The probabilities are:

  • Two red toys:
  • One red and one blue toy (in any order): each
  • Two blue toys:
