Question 1

The probability of an impossible event is

(a) 1

(b) 0

(c) less than 0

(d) greater than 1

Solution 1

The probability of an impossible event is always zero since the chances of occurring of that event is zero.

Hence, correct option is (b).

Question 2

The probability of a certain event is

(a) 0

(b) 1

(c) greater than 1

(d) less than 0

Solution 2

begin mathsize 12px style The space chances space of space occuring space of space an space certain space event space is space always space 100 percent sign. Probability space equals space fraction numerator No. space of space Favorable space cases over denominator Total space No. space of space cases end fraction Thus comma space for space straight a space certain space event comma number space of space favorable space cases space equals space Total space number space of space cases rightwards double arrow Probability space equals space 1 Hence comma space correct space option space is space left parenthesis straight b right parenthesis. end style

Question 3

The probability an event of a trial is

(a) 1

(b) 0

(c) less than 1

(d) more than 1

Solution 3

begin mathsize 12px style Probability space of space an space event space equals space fraction numerator No. space of space favorable space cases over denominator Total space No. space of space cases end fraction Since space number space of space favourable space cases space can space not space be space greater space than space total space number space of space cases comma probability space less than space 1 Hence comma space correct space option space is space left parenthesis straight c right parenthesis. end style

Solution 4

begin mathsize 12px style The space probability space of space an space event space always space lies space between space 0 space and space 1. space Since space 5 over 3 space greater than space 1 comma space it space cannot space be space the space probability space of space an space event. space Hence comma space correct space option space is space left parenthesis straight c right parenthesis. end style

Question 1

A coin is tossed 1000 times, if the probability of getting a tail is 3/8, how many times head is obtained?

(a) 525

(b) 375

(c) 625

(d) 725

Solution 1

begin mathsize 12px style Probability space of space getting space straight a space tail space equals space 3 over 8 rightwards double arrow Probability space of space getting space straight a space head space equals space 1 minus 3 over 8 equals 5 over 8 Also comma space probability space of space getting space straight a space head space equals space fraction numerator No. space of space Heads space obtained over denominator Total space no. space of space trials end fraction rightwards double arrow 5 over 8 space equals space fraction numerator No. space of space Heads space obtained over denominator 1000 end fraction rightwards double arrow No. space of space Heads space obtained space equals space 5 over 8 cross times 1000 space equals space 625 Hence comma space correct space option space is space left parenthesis straight c right parenthesis. end style

Question 2

A dice is rolled 600 times and the occurrence of the outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are given below:

Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6
frequency 200 30 120 100 50 100

The probability of getting a prime number is

begin mathsize 12px style left parenthesis straight a right parenthesis space 1 third left parenthesis straight b right parenthesis space 2 over 3 open parentheses straight c close parentheses space 49 over 60 open parentheses straight d close parentheses space 39 over 125 end style

Question 3

The percentage of attendance of different classes in a year in a school is given below:

Class: X IX VIII VII VI V
Attendance: 30 62 85 92 76 55

What is the probability that the class attendance is more than 75%?

begin mathsize 12px style open parentheses straight a close parentheses space 1 over 6 open parentheses straight b close parentheses space 1 third open parentheses straight c close parentheses space 5 over 6 open parentheses straight d close parentheses space 1 half end style

Solution 3

begin mathsize 12px style Total space number space of space classes space equals space 6 Number space of space classes space having space attendance space greater than space 75 percent sign space equals space VIII comma space VII comma space VI space equals space 3 rightwards double arrow Required space Probability space equals space 3 over 6 space equals space 1 half Hence comma space correct space option space is space left parenthesis straight d right parenthesis. end style

Question 4

A bag contains 50 coins and each coin is marked from 51 to 100. One coin is picked at random. The probability that the number on the coin is not a prime number, is

begin mathsize 12px style open parentheses straight a close parentheses space 1 fifth open parentheses straight b close parentheses space 3 over 5 open parentheses straight c close parentheses space 2 over 5 open parentheses straight d close parentheses space 4 over 5 end style
