Given that $30$ cards of same size in a bag on which numbers $1$ to $30$ are written. And, one card is taken out of the bag at random.
to find: Probability that the number on the selected card is not divisible by $3$.
So, Total number of possible outcomes are $30(1,2,3,…30)$
Let’s E = event of getting a number that is divisible by $3$
Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes $=10(3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30)$
Probability, P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes
P(E) $=10/30$
$=1/3$
Then, = Event of getting number not divisible by 3
$P(\overset{\scriptscriptstyle\rightharpoonup}{E})=1-P(E)$
$P(\overset{\scriptscriptstyle\rightharpoonup}{E})=1-\frac{1}{3}$
$=2/3$
Hence, the probability that the number on the selected card is not divisible by $3=2/3$
