QUESTION: 2

In a cricket match, a batswoman hits the boundary 6 times out of 30 balls played by her. Find the probability that she did not hit a boundary is

Solution:

Total numbers of balls = 30
Numbers of boundary = 6
Numbers of time she didn't hit boundary = 30 - 6 = 24
Probability she did not hit a boundary = 24/30

Solution:
QUESTION: 10

A standard deck of 52 cards is shuffled. One card is drawn at random. The probability that the card is red or an ace is
Solution:

ANSWER :- A

Solution :- The probability of drawing a red card is 1/2 as half the cards are red. So we need the sum 1/2 + 4/52 but we have counted red aces in both of these so we need to subtract the probability of drawing a red ace. So p(draw an ace or a red card)

 = 4/52 + 26/52 - 2/52 

 = 28/52      => 7/13

QUESTION: 11

A fair die is tossed. Then, the probability of not rolling a number less than 5 is
Solution:
QUESTION: 12

Two coins are tossed 1000 times and the outcomes are recorded as below

Besed on this information, the probabilty for at most one head is
Solution:

ANSWER :- c

Solution :- Required probability = P(0 heads) + P(1 head)

= 250/1000 + 550 / 1000 

= 800/ 1000  

= 4 / 5

Solution:
QUESTION: 16

Two unbiased coins are tossed simultaneously. The probability of getting at least one head is
Solution:

When two coins are tossed simultaneously then the possible outcomes obtained are {HH, HT, TH, and TT}.

Here H denotes head and T denotes tail.

Therefore, a total of 4 outcomes obtained on tossing two coins simultaneously.

Consider the event of obtaining at the most one head. At most one head is obtained means either no head is obtained or one head is obtained.

The outcome(s) favourable to no head obtained is {TT}

The outcome(s) favourable to one head obtained is {HT, TH}

Therefore, the event of obtaining at most one head has 3 favourable outcomes. These are TT, HT and TH.

Therefore, the probability of obtaining at most one head = 3/4.

QUESTION: 17

Solution:
QUESTION: 22

A bag contains 5 red balls and some blue balls. The probability of drawing a blue ball is double that of a red ball. The number of blue balls in the bag is
Solution:
QUESTION: 23

A bag contains 12 balls out of which x are white. If one ball is drawn at random, the probability that it will be a white ball is x/12. If 6 more white balls are put in the bag, the probability of drawing a white ball will be double than that obtained in .find x.
Solution:

Total number of balls = 12

Total number of black balls = x

P (getting a black ball) = x/12                                    

Now if 6 more black balls are put in the box, then

Total number of balls = 12 + 6 = 18

Total number of black balls = x + 6

P (getting a black ball now) = (x+6)/18                                 

According to the condition given in the question

2(x/12) = (x+6)/18

3x = x+6

x = 3

QUESTION: 24

Cards marked with the numbers 2 to 101 are placed in a box and mixed thoroughly. One card is drawn from this bag. The probability that the number of the card is a prime number less than 20 is
Solution:

Probability=8/100=2/25
