A bag contains100 identical tokens on which numbers 1 to 100 are marked. A token is drawn randomly. What is the probability that the number on the token is:
9i) an even number (ii) an odd number
(iii) a multiple of 3 (iv) a multiple of 5
(v) a multiple of 3 and 5
(vi) a multiple of 3 or 5 (vii) less than 20
(viii) greater than 70?

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probability for each case as follows: ### Total Tokens The total number of tokens in the bag is 100 (numbered from 1 to 100). ### (i) Probability of drawing an even number - **Even numbers from 1 to 100**: 2, 4, 6, ..., 100 - **Count of even numbers**: There are 50 even numbers (2, 4, 6, ..., 100). - **Probability**: \[ P(\text{Even}) = \frac{\text{Number of even numbers}}{\text{Total numbers}} = \frac{50}{100} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### (ii) Probability of drawing an odd number - **Odd numbers from 1 to 100**: 1, 3, 5, ..., 99 - **Count of odd numbers**: There are also 50 odd numbers (1, 3, 5, ..., 99). - **Probability**: \[ P(\text{Odd}) = \frac{\text{Number of odd numbers}}{\text{Total numbers}} = \frac{50}{100} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### (iii) Probability of drawing a multiple of 3 - **Multiples of 3 from 1 to 100**: 3, 6, 9, ..., 99 - **Count of multiples of 3**: The multiples of 3 up to 100 are 3, 6, 9, ..., 99, which gives us 33 multiples. - **Probability**: \[ P(\text{Multiple of 3}) = \frac{33}{100} \] ### (iv) Probability of drawing a multiple of 5 - **Multiples of 5 from 1 to 100**: 5, 10, 15, ..., 100 - **Count of multiples of 5**: The multiples of 5 up to 100 are 5, 10, 15, ..., 100, which gives us 20 multiples. - **Probability**: \[ P(\text{Multiple of 5}) = \frac{20}{100} = \frac{1}{5} \] ### (v) Probability of drawing a multiple of both 3 and 5 - **Multiples of 15 from 1 to 100**: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 - **Count of multiples of 15**: There are 6 multiples of 15. - **Probability**: \[ P(\text{Multiple of 3 and 5}) = \frac{6}{100} = \frac{3}{50} \] ### (vi) Probability of drawing a multiple of 3 or 5 Using the formula for the union of two events: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Where: - \(P(A)\) = Probability of multiple of 3 = \(\frac{33}{100}\) - \(P(B)\) = Probability of multiple of 5 = \(\frac{20}{100}\) - \(P(A \cap B)\) = Probability of multiple of both 3 and 5 = \(\frac{6}{100}\) Calculating: \[ P(\text{Multiple of 3 or 5}) = \frac{33}{100} + \frac{20}{100} - \frac{6}{100} = \frac{47}{100} \] ### (vii) Probability of drawing a number less than 20 - **Numbers less than 20**: 1, 2, 3, ..., 19 - **Count of numbers less than 20**: There are 19 such numbers. - **Probability**: \[ P(\text{Less than 20}) = \frac{19}{100} \] ### (viii) Probability of drawing a number greater than 70 - **Numbers greater than 70**: 71, 72, ..., 100 - **Count of numbers greater than 70**: There are 30 such numbers. - **Probability**: \[ P(\text{Greater than 70}) = \frac{30}{100} = \frac{3}{10} \] ### Summary of Probabilities 1. \(P(\text{Even}) = \frac{1}{2}\) 2. \(P(\text{Odd}) = \frac{1}{2}\) 3. \(P(\text{Multiple of 3}) = \frac{33}{100}\) 4. \(P(\text{Multiple of 5}) = \frac{1}{5}\) 5. \(P(\text{Multiple of 3 and 5}) = \frac{3}{50}\) 6. \(P(\text{Multiple of 3 or 5}) = \frac{47}{100}\) 7. \(P(\text{Less than 20}) = \frac{19}{100}\) 8. \(P(\text{Greater than 70}) = \frac{3}{10}\)
