    SUBJECT : MATHEMATICS

    GIST OF THE LESSON (PROBABILITY)


    1. Experiment: An experiment means an operation which can produce
    some well defined outcomes. There are two types of experiments:(i)
    deterministic and (ii) random or probabilistic
    2. Trial: performing an experiment is called a trial.
    3. Event: the results or outcomes of an experiment are called events.
    4. Event space or sample space: the collection of all outcomes of an
    experiment is called the event space or the sample space of that
    experiment.
    5. Events are of two types : simple and compound
    6. The event A ̅ , read as “complement of A” or “not A” is said to occur
    when and only when A does not occur.
    7. An event is called an impossible event if it cannot occur at any
    performance of the experiment.
    8. Two events are called equally likely if none of them can be expected
    to occur in preference to the other.
    9. An event is called a sure event if it is obvious to occur at any
    performance of the experiment.
    10. Empirical or Experimental Probability of an event E is given by
    Number of trials in which the event A has occurred
    P(E) =
    Total number of trials
    11. Relevant examples on
    (i) Discrete frequency distribution and (ii) Grouped frequency
    distribution
    ASSIGNMENT 5

    Part I
    Students are advised to practice all the questions of the Exercise 15.1 from
    the Mathematics text book of NCERT.

    Part II
    (Work out all the questions and send it to your teacher for evaluation)

    1) Explain the error in each of the following statement:


    i) The probability that Dilip will pass the competitive examination is
    0.8 and will not be able to pass is – 0.2.
    ii) The probability that our school team will win the badminton match
    is 0.67, lose the game is 0.31 and probability of a tie is 0.05.

    2) Name the following:


    i) An experiment which when performed produces one of the
    several possible outcomes.
    ii) A collection of all possible outcomes of a random experiment.

    3) A student does not know the correct answer of a certain question. The
    probability of guessing the correct answer of that question is x/3. If the
    probability of not guessing the correct answer is x/5, then find x.

    4) In a football match, Messi scores 4 goals from 5 penalty kicks. What is


    the probability of Messi missing a goal?

    5) Three coins are tossed simultaneously 500 times with the following
    frequencies of different outcomes.
    Outcome 3 heads 2 heads 1 head No head
    67 175 230 28
    Freq.
    i) Find the probability of getting at most 2 heads
    ii) Find the probability of getting at least 2 heads
    6) A coin is tossed 1000 times and if the probability of getting a tail is 3/8,
    then how many times head is obtained (choose the correct alternative)
    a) 525 b) 375 c) 625 d) 725
    7) A die is rolled 250 times and the occurrences of the outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
    6 are give below
    Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6
    Frequency 57 39 22 74 45 13

    Then the probability of getting a prime number is (choose the correct


    alternative)
    a) 163/250 b) 53/125 c) 61/250 d) 11/50

    8) Over the past 200 working days, the number of defective parts produced
    by a machine is given below:

    No. of 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
    defective
    parts
    Days 50 36 24 20 12 13 10 11 10 8 6

    Determine the probability that tomorrow’s output will have


    i) no defective part
    ii) at least 5 defective parts

    9) A recent survey found that the ages of 200 workers in a factory is


    distributed as follows:

    Age in yrs 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60 &


    above
    No. of 38 27 86 46 3
    workers

    If a person is selected at random, find the probability that his age is


    i) 40 years or more
    ii) below 40 years
    10) The marks of a student in 5 subjects is given below

    Subject Hindi English Maths Science So.


    Science
    Marks 55 75 82 73 65

    i) Find the probability that a student has got 70% and above in a
    subject
    ii) Find the probability that he has scored less than 50% in a subject

    11) Given below is the freq. distribution of wages (in Rs) of 30 workers in
    a certain factory:

    Wages 110- 130- 150- 170- 190- 210- 230-


    in (Rs) 130 150 170 190 210 230 250
    No. of 3 4 6 5 2 6 4
    workers
    A worker is selected at random. Find the probability that his wage is
    i) less than Rs 170 ii) at least Rs 190

    12) Each of 10 students were asked to write a 3-digit number and the
    following numbers were obtained:
    436, 790, 900, 253, 184, 873, 279, 556, 524, 916
    A number is chosen at random.
    What is the probability that the chosen number is divisible by 4?

    13) An insurance company selected 2000 drivers at random in a particular


    city to find a relationship between the age of drivers and accidents. The
    data obtained are given in the following table:
    Age of Drivers Accidents in one year
    in yrs 0 1 2 3 More
    than 3
    18 – 39 160 400 120 65 35
    40 – 60 500 150 68 25 19
    Above 60 350 54 32 15 7

    Find the probability of the following events for a driver chosen at random:
    i) being 18 – 39 yrs of age and having exactly 2 accidents in one year
    ii) being 40 – 60 yrs of age and having 1 or more accidents in one year
    iii) having no accidents in a year
