उत्तर
Total no. of days to visit the shop = 6 {Mon to Sat}
Total no. possible outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36
i.e. two customers can visit the shop in 36 ways
E⟶ event of visiting shop on consecutive days
No. of favourable outcomes = (M, T), (T, W), (W, TH), (TH, F), (F, S), (T, M), (W, T), (TH, W), (F, TH), (S, F)
Probability, P(E) = `"No. of favorable outcomes"/"Total no.of possible outcomes"`
P(E) = `10/36`
= `5/18`
