Ex. 15.1
Probability Exercise Ex. 15.1
Solution 1
Number of times batswoman hits a boundary = 6
Total number of balls played = 30
Number of times that the batswoman does not hit a boundary = 30 - 6 = 24
Total number of balls played = 30
Number of times that the batswoman does not hit a boundary = 30 - 6 = 24
Solution 2
Total number of families = 475 + 814 + 211 = 1500
(i) Number of families having 2 girls = 475
(ii) Number of families having 1 girl = 814
(iii) Number of families having no girl = 211
Thus, the sum of all these probabilities is 1.
Thus, the sum of all these probabilities is 1.
Solution 3
Number of students born in August = 6
Total number of students = 40
Total number of students = 40
= 
Solution 4
Number of times 2 heads come up = 72
Total number of times the coins were tossed = 200
Total number of times the coins were tossed = 200
Solution 5
Number of families surveyed = 2400
(i) Number of families earning Rs 10000 - 13000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles = 29
Required probability =
Required probability =
(ii) Number of families earning Rs 16000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle = 579
Required probability =
Required probability =
(iii) Number of families earning less than Rs 7000 per month and does not own any vehicle = 10
Required probability = 
(iv) Number of families earning Rs 13000 - 16000 per month and owning more than 2 vehicles = 25
Required probability =
Required probability =
(v) Number of families owning not more than 1 vehicle = 10 + 160 + 0 + 305 + 1 + 535 + 2 + 469 + 1
+ 579 = 2062
Required probability = 
Solution 6
Total number of students = 90
(i) Number of students who obtained less than 20% marks in the test = 7
Required probability =
Required probability =
(ii) Number of students who obtained marks 60 or above = 15 + 8 = 23
Required probability =
Required probability =
Solution 7
Total number of students = 135 + 65 = 200
(i) Number of students who like statistics = 135
P(student likes statistics) =
P(student likes statistics) =
(ii) Number of students who do not like statistics = 65
P(student does not like statistics) = 
Solution 8
Total number of engineers = 40
(i) Number of engineers living at a distance of less than 7 km form their place of work = 9
Required probability =
(i) Number of engineers living at a distance of less than 7 km form their place of work = 9
Required probability =
(ii) Number of engineers living at a distance of more than or equal to 7 km from their place of work
= 40 - 9 = 31
Required probability =
Required probability =
(iii) Number of engineers living within a distance of 
km from her place of work = 0
Required probability = 0
km from her place of work = 0Required probability = 0
Solution 11
Total number of bags = 11
Number of bags containing more then 5 kg of flour = 7
Required probability =
Number of bags containing more then 5 kg of flour = 7
Required probability =
Solution 12
Number days for which the concentration of sulphur dioxide was in the
interval of 0.12 - 0.16 = 2
Total number of days = 30
Required probability =
Total number of days = 30
Required probability =
Solution 13
Number of students having blood group AB = 3
Total number of students = 30
Required probability =
Total number of students = 30
Required probability =
