The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the required probabilities for each part of the question. **Total number of cards:** The cards are numbered from 1 to 30, so the total number of cards is 30. ### Part (i): Probability that the number on the drawn card is not divisible by 3. 1. **Find numbers divisible by 3:** The numbers divisible by 3 between 1 and 30 are: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30. There are a total of 10 numbers. 2. **Calculate probability of being divisible by 3:** Probability (P) of drawing a card that is divisible by 3 is given by: \[ P(\text{divisible by 3}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{10}{30} = \frac{1}{3} \] 3. **Calculate probability of not being divisible by 3:** \[ P(\text{not divisible by 3}) = 1 - P(\text{divisible by 3}) = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Part (ii): Probability that the number on the drawn card is a prime number greater than 7. 1. **Identify prime numbers greater than 7:** The prime numbers greater than 7 and less than or equal to 30 are: 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29. There are a total of 6 prime numbers. 2. **Calculate probability of drawing a prime number greater than 7:** \[ P(\text{prime number > 7}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{6}{30} = \frac{1}{5} \] ### Part (iii): Probability that the number on the drawn card is not a perfect square number. 1. **Identify perfect square numbers between 1 and 30:** The perfect squares are: 1 (1²), 4 (2²), 9 (3²), 16 (4²), 25 (5²). There are a total of 5 perfect squares. 2. **Calculate probability of drawing a perfect square number:** \[ P(\text{perfect square}) = \frac{5}{30} = \frac{1}{6} \] 3. **Calculate probability of not drawing a perfect square number:** \[ P(\text{not a perfect square}) = 1 - P(\text{perfect square}) = 1 - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6} \] ### Final Answers: - (i) Probability that the number is not divisible by 3: \(\frac{2}{3}\) - (ii) Probability that the number is a prime number greater than 7: \(\frac{1}{5}\) - (iii) Probability that the number is not a perfect square number: \(\frac{5}{6}\)
