CH-15 PROBABILITY

Q1) In a group of 20 people. 5 can't swim. If one person is selected at random, then the probability
that he/she can swim, is

(a) ¾ (b) 1/3 (c) 1 (d) 1/4

2)Probability of happening of an event is denoted by p and probability of non-happening of the event


is denoted by q. Relation between p and q is
(a) p + q = 1 (b) p = 1, q = l (c) p = q - 1 (d) p + p + 1 = 0

3)A girl calculates that the probability of her winning the first prize In a lottery Is 0.08. If 6000 tickets
are sold, how many tickets has she bought?
(a) 40 (b) 240 (c) 480 (d) 750

4)A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. The probability that the card
drawn is not an ace is
(a) 1/13 (b) 9/13 (c) 4/13 (d) 12/13

5)A bag contains 5 red balls and pi green bails. If the probability of drawing a green ball is three times
that of a red ball, then the value of n is
(a) 18 (b) 15 (c) 10 (d) 20

6)In a single throw of a die. the probability of getting a composite number is


(a) 1/3 (b) ½ (c) 2/3 (d) 5/6

7) The probability that a non-leap year has 53 Wednesdays, is


(a) 1/7 (b) 2/7 (c) 5/7 (d) 6/7

8)From the letters of the word "MANGO", a letter is selected at random. The probability that the letter
is a vowel, is
(a) 1/5 (b) 3/5 (c) 2/5 (d) 4/5

ASSERTION AND REASON [ 1 MARKS]


1) Assertion: The probability of an event that cannot happen or which is impossible, is equal to zero.

Reason: The probability lies between 0 and 1. Hence, it cannot be negative

2) Assertion: . A bag has 3 red balls and 5 green balls. If we take a ball from the bag, then probability of
getting red balls only 3/8.

Reason: Probability of getting red balls = number of red balls/total number of balls

3) Assertion: The sum of the probabilities of all the elementary events of an experiment is 1.

Reason: If an event cannot occur, then its probability is 0.

4) Assertion: The probability of getting exactly one head in tossing a pair of coins is 1/2.

Reason: The sample space of two coin tossed is ={HH,TT,HT,TH}=4


5) Assertion: -0.4 can not be the probability of an event.

Reason: The probability of an event can neither be a negative value, nor it can exceed unity.

6) Assertion: Three coins are tossed simultaneously. The probability of getting all heads is 1/8.

Reason: The chance of throwing 5 with an ordinary die is 1/6.

7) Assertion: The probability of getting a spade card from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards is 13.

Reason: The probability of getting less than 3 in a single throw of a die is 1/3.

SECTION-B [2 MARKS]
1)A jar contains 18 marbles. Some are red arid others are yellow. If a marble is drawn at random from
the jar. the probability that it is red is 2/3. Find the number of yellow marbles in the jar.

2) A bag contains 4 red, 3 blue and 2 yellow balls. One ball Fs drawn at random from the bag. Find the
probability that drawn ball is (i) red (ii) yellow.

3): A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of drawing a card
which is neither a spade nor a king.

4): A bag contains some balls of which x are white, 2x are black and 3xare red. A ball is selected at
random. What is the probability that it is [2019, 2 Marks]
(i) not red
(ii) white?

5)Cards marked with numbers 5 to 50 (one number on one card) are placed in a box and mixed
thoroughly. One card is drawn at random from the box. Find the probability that the number on the
card taken out is
(i) a prime number less than 10,
(ii) a number which is a perfect square.

6) A bag contains 9 black and 12 white balls. One ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that
the ball drawn is black?

7) Find the probability that a number selected from the numbers 1 to 25 which is not a prime number
when each of the given number is equally likely to be selected.

8) In a single throw of a pair of different dice, what is the probability of getting (?) a prime number on
each dice? (it) a total of 9 or 11?

9) The king, queen and jack of clubs are removed from a deck of 52 playing cards and then well
shuffled. Now one card is drawn at random from the remaining cards. Determine the probability that
the card is;
(i) a heart (ii) a king.
SECTION-C [3 MARKS]

1) An integer is chosen between 70 and 100. Find the

probability that it is

(i) a prime number (ii) divisible by 7

2) It is given that in a group of 3 students, the probability of 2 students not having the same birthday
is 0.992. What is the probability that the 2 students have the same birthday?

3) A bag contains 3 red balls and 5 black balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. What is the
probability that the ball drawn is

(i) red?

(ii) not red?

4) A lot consists of 144 ball pens, of which 20 are defective, and the others are good. Nuri will buy a
pen if it is good, but will not buy it if it is defective. The shopkeeper draws one pen at random and
gives it to her. What is the probability that

(i) She will buy it?

(ii) She will not buy it?

5) A bag contains 5 red balls and some blue balls. If the probability of drawing a blue ball

is double that of a red ball, determine the number of blue balls in the bag.

6) A jar contains 24 marbles, some are green, and others are blue. If a marble is drawn at

random from the jar, the probability that it is green is ⅔. Find the number of blue balls

in the jar.
