Answer
Given,
Total number of outcomes = 30
(a) Given,
Numbers that are perfect squares (between 1 to 30) are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 (5 numbers).
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 5 perfect squares
P(perfect square) .
Hence, probability of numbers that are perfect squares = .
(b) Given,
Even numbers that are also multiples of 3 (between 1 to 30) are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 (5 numbers)
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 5 Even numbers that are also multiples of 3
P(even and multiple of 3)
Hence, probability of numbers that are multiples of 3 and even number = .
(c) Given,
Prime numbers (1 to 30) are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 (10 numbers)
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 10 Prime numbers
P(prime)
Hence, probability of prime numbers = .
