The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probabilities for each of the four parts of the question regarding the cards numbered from 11 to 60. ### Total Number of Cards First, we need to determine the total number of cards in the box. The cards are numbered from 11 to 60. 1. **Total Cards Calculation**: \[ \text{Total Cards} = 60 - 11 + 1 = 50 \] ### (i) Probability of Drawing an Odd Number Next, we will find the probability of drawing an odd number. 2. **List of Odd Numbers**: The odd numbers between 11 and 60 are: 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53, 55, 57, 59. **Count of Odd Numbers**: There are 25 odd numbers. 3. **Probability Calculation**: \[ P(\text{Odd Number}) = \frac{\text{Number of Odd Numbers}}{\text{Total Cards}} = \frac{25}{50} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### (ii) Probability of Drawing a Perfect Square Number Now, we will find the probability of drawing a perfect square number. 4. **List of Perfect Squares**: The perfect squares between 11 and 60 are: 16 (4²), 25 (5²), 36 (6²), 49 (7²). **Count of Perfect Squares**: There are 4 perfect square numbers. 5. **Probability Calculation**: \[ P(\text{Perfect Square}) = \frac{\text{Number of Perfect Squares}}{\text{Total Cards}} = \frac{4}{50} = \frac{2}{25} \] ### (iii) Probability of Drawing a Number Divisible by 5 Next, we will find the probability of drawing a number that is divisible by 5. 6. **List of Numbers Divisible by 5**: The numbers divisible by 5 between 11 and 60 are: 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55. **Count of Numbers Divisible by 5**: There are 9 numbers. 7. **Probability Calculation**: \[ P(\text{Divisible by 5}) = \frac{\text{Number of Divisible by 5}}{\text{Total Cards}} = \frac{9}{50} = \frac{9}{50} \] ### (iv) Probability of Drawing a Prime Number Less than 20 Finally, we will find the probability of drawing a prime number less than 20. 8. **List of Prime Numbers Less than 20**: The prime numbers less than 20 are: 11, 13, 17, 19. **Count of Prime Numbers**: There are 4 prime numbers. 9. **Probability Calculation**: \[ P(\text{Prime Number < 20}) = \frac{\text{Number of Prime Numbers}}{\text{Total Cards}} = \frac{4}{50} = \frac{2}{25} \] ### Summary of Probabilities - (i) Probability of an odd number: \( \frac{1}{2} \) - (ii) Probability of a perfect square: \( \frac{2}{25} \) - (iii) Probability of a number divisible by 5: \( \frac{9}{50} \) - (iv) Probability of a prime number less than 20: \( \frac{2}{25} \)
