Exercise-A
2 2 Sol.1 The probability of the sun shining = 1/3, and the probability of the sun being hidden = 2/3 Sol.10 We have 000, 001, 004, 009, 016. (Note that 31 = 961 < 1000 and 32 = 1024 > 1000). The required probability = 5C4 (1/3)4 (2/ 3) + 5C5 (1/ 3)5 (2/3)0 Thus there are 32 perfect square number which can be formed using 3 digits. 1 Sol.2 Since each institute is equally likely to be taken, the chance of selecting the first is 1/3, Form 32 available choices the person will select 1 hence the probability is /32. and 1/3 and the chance of taking marketing here is 1/12. Similarly, the chance in case of the second institute is 1/3 x 2/6 = 1/9. Home Assignment Similarly, the chance in the third case is 1/3 x = . Sol.1 (c) Since there are four letters, total number of ways = 4! The required probability = 1/12 + 1/9 + = 4/9. = 24 out of which one way is correct. Hence required probability = 23/24. Sol.3 The probability that yarn selected is green in colour is 25% i.e. . For the green yarn to 7 be defective the probability is 7% i.e. /100. Hence the probability that selected yarn is defective 60 3 3 2 70 7 7 3 and green in colour is . 7/100 = 7/400 = , P(A) = 1 - = , P(B) = = , P(B) = 1 = Sol.2 (a) P(A) = 100 5 5 5 100 10 10 10 Similarly the probability the selected yarn is red in colour and is defective 2/100 x 40/100 = 1/125 and the probability that selected yarn is blue in colour and is defective = 5/100 x 35/100 = 7/100 ) x P( ) = therefore the probability that selected yarn is defective = 7/400 + 1/125 + 7/400 probability that the Probability of single event = P(A) x P(B) + P( defective yarn selected is green is = (Number of favorable cases of selecting green yarn)/ (Total number of cases selecting defective yarn). Hence the answer is (7/400)/(7/400 + 1/125 + 7/400) = 35/86 The probability that yarn selected is Red in colour is 40% i.e. 2/5. for the red yarn to be defective Sol.3 (c) P(A) = 1/3 P( A ) = 2/3 the probability is 2% i.e. 2/100 = 1/50. Hence for the red yarn to be non defective the probability is 1- 1/50 = 49/50. P(bird killed) = 1 - P(none of 3 shotshit) = The probability that the selected yarn is non defective and red in colour is 2/ x 49/ = 49/ . 5 50 125

Sol.4 The total number of outcomes is 29. The number of ways in which he can get 0,1,2,3 or 4 heads will be the same as the number of ways in which we can obtain at least five tails. The Sol.4 (d) There will be 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 outcomes. The outcomes which are not number of ways in which 0,1,2,3 or 4 heads can be obtained is (9C0 + 9C1 + 9C2 + 9C3+ 9C4) = favourable are (1, 1, 1) and (6, 6, 6). Required probability = 256. Therefore, the required probability is 256/29 = Sol.5 To find the number of points in the sample space, we will have to find the total number of four digit odd numbers. the numbers could be of the following types :XX35, X35X, 35XX, or any Sol.5 (a) Let E1 be the event that man will be selected and E2 be the event that number not containing the digit 3. (Please note that we cannot have a number with the last digit and as 3 because 3 is always followed by 5). It should also be noted that the first digit can never be woman will be selected. 0 as we are considering four digit numbers. Consider the number XX35. The first digit cannot be 0,3 or 5. This digit can be chosen in 7 different ways. The seconds digit can not be chosen in 7 different ways. Are 7 x 7 = 49 number of the form XX35. Consider the number of the form X35X . The last digit has to be one of 7 or 9 and can be Clearly, events E1, E2 are independent. Hence 12 132 3214 1 1 107 1 2 chosen in 3 different ways. The first digit of these number can be chosen in 6 different ways. 71 21 2 2 3 19 27 1 3 13 B B 9(E = = ,, P(E = 1 + = = 1 - 12 =Sol.6 (b)Total = 0.54 P(E = A ))= P(E12))= 1 --no.=of outcomes 15C3 = 455 A So, there are 6 x 3 = 18 such numbers 24 2 4 108 10 5216 2 33 5 3 27 30 4 4 3 3 25310 Number of favorable outcomes = 9C = 84 25 50 3 Consider the number of the form 35XX. The last digit of these numbers has to be one of 1,7 or 84 12 9 and can be chosen in 3 different ways. the last but one digit of these number can be chosen Probability = /455 = /65 in 3 different ways. The last but one digit of these numbers can be chosen in 7 different ways. Sol.7 (c) Probability of selecting a teacher = P(T) = 15/50 = 3/ 10 So, there are 3 x 7 = 21 such numbers . 20 2 Consider number which do not contain the digit 3. The last digit of these numbers must be one Probability of selecting a woman = P(W) = /50 = /5 or 1,5,7 or 9 and can be chosen in 4 different ways. The other two digit can be chosen in 7 and Probability of selecting a Hindi knowing candidate = P(H) = 10/50 = 1/5 6 different ways. Required Probability = P(T) P(W) P(H) So, there 7 x 7 x 6 x 4 = 1174 such numbers. 3 2 1 The sample space, thus, has a total of 1176 + 21 + 18 + 49 = 1264. Of these numbers, exactly = ( /10) ( /5) ( /5) = 3/ 125. 1 one number is 2695. Therefore, the required probability is / .
1264 2 Sol.6 Since the last three digits are different, these can be chosen in 10 x 9 x 8 = 720 ways. Of Sol.8 (a) Total number of outcomes with two dice = 6 = 36 Same digit will appear in the following cases : 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 1 exactly one choice will be the correct number. so, the required probability is /720. 4-4, 5-5, 6-6. i.e. 6 outcomes. required probability = 6/36 = 1/6. Sol.7 Since there are two different bags. The probability of choosing any one bag is .

Suppose the first bag is chosen. The probability of choosing a red ball from this bag is 1/2 x 5/12 = 5/24 . Suppose the first bag is chosen. The probability of choosing a red ball from this bag is x 1/5 = 1/10 . Therefore the required probability is 5/24 + 1/ 10 = 37/120.

Sol.9 (c) A : the first die shows 4,5 or 6 dots. P(A) = 3/6 = , P(B) = 2/6 = 1/3 . So, the required probability is P(A) x P(B) = x 1/3 = 1/6 .

Sol.10 (b) Let A be the event of drawing an odd numbered ticket in the first draw Sol.8 Probability (Score is even) = 2/3 probability (Score is odd) = 1/3. Therefore in long run on and B be the event of drawing an odd numbered ticket in the second draw. Then average each 9 throws the player gets twice the score or 2,4,6 and once the score of 1,3,5. Therefore the player receives the total money equal to 2(2+4+6) + (1+3+5) = Rs. 33 in 9 Required probability = P(A C B) = P(A) P throws. So on average the player gets 33/9 i.e. Rs. 11/3 per throw. Therefore the student should play 11/3 2/3 = Rs. 3. for each roll. P(A) = , since there 13 odd numbers 1, 3, 5.....25. Since the ticket drawn in the first draw is not replaced, therefore second ticket drawn is from the remaining 24 tickets, out of which 12 are odd numbered. P =

Sol.9 Form the venn diagram . 20 + 10 + 15 + 5 + (x + y + z) = 70. Therefore x + y + z = 20. Therefore the required probability = 20/70 = 2/7 .

Hence, Required probability =
