There are six cards in a box, each bearing a number from 0 to 5. Find the probability of the following event, that:

The number on the card drawn is a natural number.

Answer 1

Total number of cards = 6

Number of cards bearing a natural number = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

= 5

Required probability = `\text { Number of cards bearing a natural number}/\text { Total number of cards}`

= `5/6`

Hence, the probability that a card drawn shows a natural number is `5/6`.
