FAQs on Probability Notes - Class 11
| 1. What is probability in mathematics? |  |
Ans. Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of uncertainty and the likelihood of events occurring. It quantifies the chances of an event happening by assigning a numerical value between 0 and 1, where 0 represents impossibility and 1 represents certainty.
| 2. How is probability calculated? | |
Ans. The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. This is known as the classical probability formula: P(A) = n(A) / n(S), where P(A) is the probability of event A, n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes, and n(S) is the total number of possible outcomes.
| 3. What are the different types of probability? | |
Ans. There are three types of probability:
1. Classical Probability: It is based on equally likely outcomes and is used when all possible outcomes are equally likely to occur.
2. Empirical Probability: It is based on observed data or experiments. The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of times the event occurred by the total number of trials.
3. Subjective Probability: It is based on personal judgment or opinions. It is used when there is no historical data or experimental evidence available.
| 4. How can probability be used in real-life situations? | |
Ans. Probability is used in various real-life situations, including:
1. Weather Forecasting: Meteorologists use probability to predict the chances of rain, snow, or other weather conditions.
2. Gambling: Probability is used to determine the odds of winning in games of chance, such as card games or lotteries.
3. Insurance: Insurance companies use probability to assess risks and calculate premiums for different types of insurance policies.
4. Medical Diagnosis: Probability is used in medical diagnosis to assess the likelihood of a disease based on symptoms, test results, and patient history.
| 5. What is conditional probability? | |
Ans. Conditional probability is the probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. It is denoted as P(A|B), where A and B are two events. The formula for conditional probability is P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B), where P(A and B) is the probability of both events A and B occurring together, and P(B) is the probability of event B occurring. Conditional probability is used to determine the likelihood of an event happening under certain conditions or assumptions.
