11. An unbiased dice is tossed.

26. Write the sample space of the experiment

27. Find the probability of getting a number greater than 4.

28. Find the probability of getting a prime number.

Solution:-

  1. Sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

n(s) = 6

2. E = event of getting a number greater than 4

= {5, 6}

n (E) = 2

P (> 4) = Probability of a number greater than 4
= n(E)/n(S) = 2/6 = 1/3

3. E = Event of getting a prime number

= {2, 3, 5}

n (E) = 3

P(Prime number) = Probability of a prime number

12. Out of 400 bulbs in a box, 15 bulbs a defective. One ball is taken out at random from the box. Find the probability that the drawn bulb is not defective.

Solution:- Total number of bulbs = 400

Total number of defective bulb = 15

Total number of non-defective bulbs = 400-15

= 385

P (not defective bulb) = 385/400

= 77/80

13. Find the probability of getting 53 Fridays in a leap year.

Solution:- No. of days in a leap year = 366

366 days = 52 weeks and 2 days.

A leap year must has 52 Fridays

The remaining two days can be

(a) Sunday an Monday
(b) Monday and Tuesday
(c) Tuesday and Wednesday
(d) Wednesday and Thursday
(e) Thursday and Friday
(f) Friday and Saturday
(g) Saturday and Sunday

Out of 7 case, 2 cases have Friday

P (53 Friday) = 2/7

14. Three unbiased coins are tossed simultaneously. What is the probability of getting exactly two heads?

Solution: - When three coins are tossed simultaneously, the sample space is

S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}.

n(S) = 8

E = Set of cases favorable to the event

= {HHT, HTH, THH}

n(E) = 3

P (exactly two heads) =

15.. A dice is thrown twice. Find the probability of getting (a) doublets (b) prime number on each die.

Solutions: - Sample space =

S = { (1, 1) (1, 2) (1, 3) (1, 4) (1, 5) (1, 6)

(2, 1) (2, 2) (2, 3) (2, 4) (2, 5) (2, 6)

(3, 1) (3, 2) (3, 3) (3, 4) (3, 5) (3, 6)

(4, 1) (4, 2) (4, 3) (4, 4) (4, 5) (4, 6)

(5, 1) (5, 2) (5, 3) (5, 4) (5, 5) (5, 6)

(6, 1) (6, 2) (6, 3) (6, 4) (6, 5) (6, 6) }

n (S) = 36

(i) E = Events getting doublet

= {(1, 1) (2, 2) (3, 3) (4, 4) (5, 5) (6, 6)}

n (E) = 6

P(doublet) =

(ii) E = Events getting prime number on each die.

= {(2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 5), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 5)}

n(E) = 9

P (getting prime number on each die)

= n(E)/n(S) = 9/36 = 1/4

16. A bag contains 5 red balls, 8 White balls, 4 green balls and 7 black balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. Fine the probability that it is. (i) Black (ii) not green.

Solution:- Red balls = 5

White balls = 8

Green balls = 4

Black balls = 7
Total balls = 24

(i) P (Black balls) = 7/24
(ii) P (not a green ball) = 1- P (green ball)
= 1 - 4/24 = 20/24
= 5/6

17. A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is neither an ace nor a king.

Solution:- P (neither an ace nor a king)

= 1 – p (either an ace or a king)

= 1 – 8/52 {no. of ace = 4}
{no. of king = 4}
Total = 8

= (52 – 8)/52

= 44/52

= 11/13
