Probability ———————————————————————————— ———————————-
Q.1: What is the total number of sample spaces
when a die is thrown 2 times?
A. 6
B. 12
C. 18
D. 36
Answer: D. 36
Explanation: The possible outcomes when a die is
thrown are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Given, a die is thrown two times.
Then, the total number of sample spaces = (6 × 6)
= 36
Q.2: What is the total number of sample spaces
when a coin is tossed and a die is thrown?
A. 6
B. 12
C. 8
D. 16
Answer: B. 12
Explanation: The possible outcomes when a coin
is tossed are Head (H) or Tail (T).
The possible outcomes when a die is thrown are 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Then, total number of space = (2 × 6) = 12
Q.3: Three identical dice are rolled. What is the
probability that the same number will appear on each of them?
A. 1/6
B. 1/36
C. 1/18
D. 3/28
Answer: B. 1/36
Explanation:
Total number of cases = 6³ = 216
The same number can appear on each of the dice
in the following ways:
(1, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2), ………….(3, 3, 3)
So, favourable number of cases = 6
Hence, required probability = 6/216 = 1/36
Q.4: A bag contains 5 brown and 4 white socks.
Ram pulls out two socks. What is the probability that both the socks are of the same colour?
A. 9/20
B. 2/9
C. 3/20
D. 4/9
Answer: D. 4/9
Explanation:
Total number of socks = 5 + 4 = 9
Two socks are pulled.
Now, P(Both are same colour) = (5C2 + 4C2)/9C2
= {(5×4)/(2×1) + (4×3)/(2×1)}/{(9×8)/(2×1)}
= {(5×4) + (4×3)/}/{(9×8)
= (5 + 3)/(9×2)
= 8/18
= 4/9
Q.5: What is the probability of getting the number
6 at least once in a regular die if it can roll it 6 times?
A. 1 – (5/6)6
B. 1 – (1/6)6
C. (5/6)6
D. (1/6)6
Answer: A. 1 – (5/6)6
Explanation:
Let A be the event that 6 does not occur at all.
Now, the probability of at least one 6 occurs = 1 –
PA.
= 1 – (5/6)6
Q.6: Events A and B are said to be mutually
exclusive if:
A. P (A U B) = P A. + P B.
B. P (A ∩ B) = P A. × P B.
C. P(A U B) = 0
D. None of these
Answer: A. P (A U B) = P A. + P B.
Explanation:
If A and B are mutually exclusive events,
Then P(A ∩ B) = 0
Now, by the addition theorem,
P(A U B) = PA. + PB. – P(A ∩ B)
P(A U B) = PA. + PB.
Q.7: A die is rolled. What is the probability that an
even number is obtained?
A. 1/2
B. 2/3
C. 1/4
D. ¾
Answer: A. 1/2
Explanation:
When a die is rolled, total number of outcomes = 6
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
Total even number = 3 (2, 4, 6)
So, the probability that an even number is obtained
= 3/6 = ½
Q.8: What is the probability of selecting a vowel in
the word “PROBABILITY”?
A. 2/11
B. 3/11
C. 4/11
D. 5/11
Answer: B. 3/11
Q.9: An urn contains 6 balls of which two are red
and four are black. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that they are of different colours?
A.⅖
B.1/15
C.8/15
D.4/15
Answer: C. 8/15
Explanation:
Given that, the total number of balls = 6 balls
Let A and B be the red and black balls, respectively,
The probability that two balls are drawn are
different = P (the nrst ball drawn is red)(the second ball drawn is black)+ P (the nrst ball drawn is black)P(the second ball drawn is red)
= (2/6)(4/5) + (4/6)(2/5)
=(8/30)+ (8/30)
= 16/30
= 8/15
Q.10: 20 cards are numbered from 1 to 20. If one
card is drawn at random, what is the probability that the number on the card is a prime number?
A. ⅕
B. ⅖
C. ⅗
D. 5
Answer: B. ⅖
Explanation:
Let E be the event of getting a prime number.
E = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19}
Hence, P(E) = 8/20 = 2/5.
