Solution:
The possible outcomes are {3,5,7,9..…29}
Number of possible outcomes = 14
(i) Let E be the event of getting the number on the ticket is a prime number.
Outcomes favourable to E are {3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29}
Number of favourable outcomes = 9
P(E) = 9/14
Hence the probability of getting the number on the ticket is a prime number is 9/14.
(ii) Let E be the event of getting the number on the ticket is less than 16.
Outcomes favourable to E are {3,5,7,9,11,13,15}
Number of favourable outcomes = 7
P(E) = 7/14 = 1/2
Hence the probability of getting the number on the ticket is less than 16 is 1/2.
(iii) Let E be the event of getting the number on the ticket is a number divisible by 3.
Outcomes favourable to E are {3,9,15,21,27}
Number of favourable outcomes = 5
P(E) = 5/14
Hence the probability of getting the number on the ticket is a number divisible by 3 is 5/14.
