Solution
A number x is chosen from the numbers −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2 and 3
TO FIND: Probability of getting` |x|<2`
Total numbers are 7
Number x such that ` |x|<2` are −1, 0, 1
Total numbers x such` |x|<2` are 3
`"We know that PROBABILITY" = "Number of favourable event" /"Total number of event"`
Hence the probability of getting a number x such that` |x|<2`is equal to `3/7`
