varying lengths. Ans: Bar Graph
6. An operation which produce some well defined outcomes is called an Ans: Random Experiment
7. Each outcome of an experiment is called Ans: Trial
2 Mark Questions
1. Define a random experiment and a trial
Ans: An experiment in which all possible outcomes are already known and the exact outcome cannot be
predicted in advance is called a random experiment. Trial means performing a random experiment.
2. Define probability of occurrence of an event.
Ans: Let E be an event, then the probability of occurrence of E is defined as,
P(E) = Number of outcomes favourable to E
Total number of possible outcomes

3. A coin is tossed. What is the probability of getting a tail?


Ans: When a coin is tossed the possible outputs are H, T. The probability of getting a tail is 1.

4. In a deck of 52 cards, what is the probability of getting


(a) Black cards
Ans: Total black cards = 26
The probability of getting Black cards is,
P(E) _ 26
= 52

(b) Red cards


Ans: Total Red cards = 26
The probability of getting Red cards is,
P(E) _ 26
= 52

(c) Face cards


Ans: Total Face cards = 12
The probability of getting Face cards is,
P(E) _ 12

= 52

5.When a die is thrown what is the probability of getting prime?


Ans: The possible outcomes when a die is thrown are 1,2,3,4,5,6 = 6 outcomes The prime numbers are 2,3,5.
3 1
The possibility of getting prime numbers P(E) = =
6 2.
3 Mark Questions
1. Define class intervals, upper limit and lower limit with examples.
Ans: When the number of observations is large, the data is usually organized into graphs called class interval.
The lower value of a class interval is called the lower limit and upper value of class The interval is called the
upper limit.
Example:
class interval 40 - 45
Lower limit – 40
Upper limit - 45

2. Explain the components of a well shuffled deck of 52 cards.


Ans: A deck of playing cards has in all 52 cards,
 It has 13 cards, each 4 suits namely spades, clubs, hearts and diamonds.
 Cards of spades and cubes are black cards.
 Cards of hearts and diamonds are red cards.
 Kings, Queen and Jacks are known as face cards. Thus, these are in all 12 face cards.

Ans: Total number of students = 45
The probability of the student is boy = 30/45 = 2/3

(b) girl
Ans: Total number of students = 45
The probability of the student is girl = 15/45 = 1/3

4. A die is thrown once. What is the probability of

Image: Bar graph showing items sold by school supplies

3.The bar graph given below shows the sales of books (in thousand number) from six branches of a publishing
company during two consecutive years 2000 and 2001
Image: Bar graph showing Export and import of a country

a) What is the ratio of the total sales of branch B2 for both years to the total sales of branch B4 for both years?

Ans: Required ratio = (75+65) 140 7


= =
(85+95) 180 9.

b) Total sales of branch B6 for both the years is what percent of the total sales of branches B3 for both the
years?

c. What percent of the average sales of branches B1, B2 and B3 in 2001 is the average sales of branches B1, B3
and B6 in 2000?
Ans: Average sales (in thousand number) of branches B1, B3 and B6 in 2000

d. What is the average sales of all the branches (in thousand numbers) for the year 2000?
Ans: Average sales of all the six branches (in thousand numbers) for the year 2000
a) Approximately how many degrees should be there in the central angle of the sector for agriculture
expenditure?
Ans: In a pie chart, 100% is spread over 360°. Therefore 1% = 3.6°.
Agriculture expenditure = 59%. Then, 3.6 x 59 = 212.4°.
Therefore, 212.4° should be there in the central angle of the sector for agriculture expenditure

b) Approximately what is the ratio of expenditure on agriculture to that on dairy?


Ans: Over here, one common mistake is that students calculate the actual values of agriculture and dairy. Since
budget expenditure is proportional to % of area covered, ratio of agriculture to dairy expenditure would be the
ratio of corresponding % allocations.

c) In Haryana, in 2000 , a total expenditure of Rs. 120mn was incurred. Approximately How many million did
the Haryana government spend on roads?
Ans: Total expenditure = 100% = Rs. 120mn.

Therefore, the Haryana government spend on roads about Rs. 10.8mn.

d) If Rs. 9mn were spent in 2000 on Dairy, what would have been the total expenses in that year in million?
Ans: 9mn were spent on dairy.
This amount represents 6% of total expenditure in the year 2000.

Therefore, the total expenses in that year in million is Rs. 150mn .
