A bag contains slips numbered from 1 to ...

A bag contains slips numbered from 1 to 100. If Fatima chooses a slip at random from the bag, it will either be an odd number or an even number. Since, this situation has only two possible outcomes, so the probability of each is `(1)/(2)`. Justify

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that between, 1 to 100 half numbers are even and half number of odd i.e. 50 number (2,4,6,8,96,98,100) are even and 50number (1,3,5,7,97,99) are odd. So, probability of getting even number`=(50)/(100)=(1)/(2)` and probability of getting odd number=`(50)/(100)=(1)/(2)`. Hence, the probability of each is `(1)/(2)`
