Using online Python Compiler, What is the output of the following?
i=1
while True:
if i % 7 == 0:
break
print(i)
i += 1

 Task
Basics of Probability

1. A dice is rolled, find the probability that an even number is obtained.

The blood groups of 200 people are distributed as follows: 50 have type A blood, 65 have B
blood type, 70 have the O blood type and 15 have type AB blood. If a person from this group is
selected at random, what is the probability that this person has an O blood type?
A card is drawn at random from a deck of cards. Find the probability of getting a queen.
