Step-by-step solution

6 steps

Step 1: Determine the total number of possible outcomes.
The box contains 90 discs numbered from 1 to 90.
Total number of outcomes =90= 90.

Part i· 2 steps

Find the probability that the disc bears a two-digit number.

  1. Identify the number of two-digit numbers.

    The numbers from 1 to 90 include one-digit numbers (1 to 9) and two-digit numbers (10 to 90).
    Number of one-digit numbers =9= 9.
    Number of two-digit numbers =Total numbers−Number of one-digit numbers= \text{Total numbers} - \text{Number of one-digit numbers}
    Number of two-digit numbers =90−9=81= 90 - 9 = 81.

  2. Calculate the probability of drawing a two-digit number.

    P(two-digit number)=Number of two-digit numbersTotal number of discsP(\text{two-digit number}) = \frac{\text{Number of two-digit numbers}}{\text{Total number of discs}} P(two-digit number)=8190P(\text{two-digit number}) = \frac{81}{90} P(two-digit number)=910P(\text{two-digit number}) = \frac{9}{10}

    The probability of drawing a two-digit number is 910\boxed{\frac{9}{10}}.

Part ii

110\frac{1}{10}

Find the probability that the disc bears a perfect square number.

  1. Identify the perfect square numbers between 1 and 90.

    Perfect squares are numbers that can be expressed as n2n^2.
    The perfect squares are:
    12=11^2 = 1
    22=42^2 = 4
    32=93^2 = 9
    42=164^2 = 16
    52=255^2 = 25
    62=366^2 = 36
    72=497^2 = 49
    82=648^2 = 64
    92=819^2 = 81
    (102=10010^2 = 100, which is greater than 90, so it's not included).
    Number of perfect square numbers =9= 9.

  2. Calculate the probability of drawing a perfect square number.

    P(perfect square number)=Number of perfect square numbersTotal number of discsP(\text{perfect square number}) = \frac{\text{Number of perfect square numbers}}{\text{Total number of discs}} P(perfect square number)=990P(\text{perfect square number}) = \frac{9}{90} P(perfect square number)=110P(\text{perfect square number}) = \frac{1}{10}

    The probability of drawing a perfect square number is 110\boxed{\frac{1}{10}}.

Part iii

15\frac{1}{5}

Find the probability that the disc bears a number divisible by 5.

  1. Identify the numbers divisible by 5 between 1 and 90.

    These are 5, 10, 15, ..., 90.
    To find the count, divide the last number by 5:
    Number of numbers divisible by 5 =905=18= \frac{90}{5} = 18.

  2. Calculate the probability of drawing a number divisible by 5.

    P(number divisible by 5)=Number of numbers divisible by 5Total number of discsP(\text{number divisible by 5}) = \frac{\text{Number of numbers divisible by 5}}{\text{Total number of discs}} P(number divisible by 5)=1890P(\text{number divisible by 5}) = \frac{18}{90} P(number divisible by 5)=15P(\text{number divisible by 5}) = \frac{1}{5}

    The probability of drawing a number divisible by 5 is 15\boxed{\frac{1}{5}}.
