Required, the sum of the two numbers that turn up is less than 12

That can be done as n(E)

= { (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6)
(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6)
(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6)
(4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6)
(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)
(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5) }

= 35

Hence, required probability = n(E)/n(S) = 35/36.

Q:

Out of 3 girls and 6 boys a group of three members is to be formed in such a way that at least one member is a girl. In how many different ways can it be done?

A) 64 B) 84
C) 56 D) 20
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 64

Explanation:

Total number of possible ways = 9C3 = 84 ways

Required atleast one girl in the group of three = total possible ways - ways in which none is girl

None of the members in the group is girl = 6C3 = 20

 

Therefore, number of ways that at least one member is a girl in the group of three

= 84 - 20

= 64 ways.
