The percentage of marks obtained by a student in six units tests are given below:
`|{:("Unit test","I","II","III","IV","V","VI"),(5%" of marks obtained","53","72","28","46","67","59"):}|`
A unit test is selected at random. What is the probability that the student gets more than `60%` marks in the test.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that a student gets more than 60% marks in a randomly selected unit test. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Marks Obtained**: The marks obtained by the student in the six unit tests are: - Unit Test I: 53% - Unit Test II: 72% - Unit Test III: 28% - Unit Test IV: 46% - Unit Test V: 67% - Unit Test VI: 59% 2. **Determine the Total Number of Unit Tests**: There are a total of 6 unit tests. 3. **Identify Favorable Outcomes**: We need to find out how many of these tests have marks greater than 60%. - Unit Test I: 53% (not favorable) - Unit Test II: 72% (favorable) - Unit Test III: 28% (not favorable) - Unit Test IV: 46% (not favorable) - Unit Test V: 67% (favorable) - Unit Test VI: 59% (not favorable) The favorable outcomes (tests with more than 60%) are Unit Test II and Unit Test V. Therefore, there are 2 favorable outcomes. 4. **Calculate the Probability**: The probability (P) is given by the formula: \[ P = \frac{\text{Number of Favorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Number of Outcomes}} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ P = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \] 5. **Conclusion**: The probability that the student gets more than 60% marks in a randomly selected unit test is \(\frac{1}{3}\).
