ANSWERS:

Q. NO ANSWER MARKS
1. Total number of possible outcomes n(S) = 62 = 36 2
(i) Getting the same number on both dice:
Possible outcomes are (1,1), (2,2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5) and (6, 6).
Number of possible outcomes = n(A) = 6

Hence, the required probability =P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

= 6/36

= 1/6

(ii) Getting a different number on both dice.

 Number of possible outcomes n(B) = 36 – Number of possible outcomes for

the same number on both dice = 36 – 6 = 30

Hence, the required probability = P(B) = n(B)/n(S)

= 30/36

= 5/6

2. When Two coins are tossed simultaneously 2

Total no. of Outcomes = 22= 4 [ (H,H), (H,T), (T,H), (T,T) ]
Number of favourable outcomes = (H,T), (T,H), (T,T) = 3
Probability og getting at least one tail = favourable outcomes/ Total no. of outcomes
=3/4

3. Number of integers between 1 and 100: 2

2, 3, 4, 5, --------------99.
Sample space or total outcomes n(S) = 98
i) Numbers which are divisible by 8 are: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96
so number of possible event n(E) = 12
now probability divisible by 8 , P(E)= n(E) /n(S)= 12/98= 6/49
ii) P (not divisible by 8 ) = 1- 6/49= 43/49

4. Possible outcomes of family having two children 2

[ GG, BG, GB, BB]
Total no. of Outcomes = 4
Outcomes with at least one boy = [ BG, BB, GB]
∴ Number of favourable outcomes= 3
∴ P (at least one boy) = ¾

5. Suppose she bought n tickets. Total number of tickets is 8000 2

∴ Probability of winning the first prize = n/8000
⇒ 0.06= n/8000
⇒ n = 480
6. Mode-3.28 2
7. p=6 2
8. Median-44 runs 2
9. Mean=43 2
10. Mean= 50.10 Median=52 2
11. Sum of given number =(36+x) 2
Number of these number= 6
Mean = 36+x/6
36+x/6= 7.5
X=9
12. Mode = 3(Median) – 2(Mean) 2
35.3 = 3(Median) – 2(30.5)
35.3 = 3(Median) – 61
96.3 = 3 Median
Median = 96.33 = 32.1
13. 11.2 2
14. sum of first n natural numbers = n(n + 1)/2 2
Mean of the first n natural numbers = Sum of first n natural numbers / n

= [n(n + 1)/2]/ n

= (n + 1)/2

According to the given,

(n + 1)/2 = 15

n + 1 = 30

n = 29

17. k=4 2
18. Writes that Dipti’s claim is not correct - 0.5 2
Writes a valid example by showing scores of some students where the mean is 60
marks, half of the students scored 80 marks or above, but the rest have scored both
above and below 40 marks.
For example , consider there are 4 students in the class with scores 80,90,20 and 50.
The mean is 60 marks, half of them got 80 or above, but one score in the remaining
half is above 40. - 1.5

P+5 2 2p+10
y =11 xy=52+2p
Mean= xy/y  8=(52+2p)/11
2p=36 , So p=18

21. Solution:- Mean of 5 numbers=27 2

Sum of 5 numbers =27x5=135
Mean of remaining 4 numbers=27-2=25
Sum of remaining 4 numbers =25x4=100
 Excluded number=135 -100=35
22. Soln : Mode = 25 2
 25 has maximum frequency.
Hence x = 25

fi=96+f1 xifi=4320+70f1

Mean= xifi / fi

50(96+f1) = 4320+70f1
4800 + 50f1 = 4320+70f1
4800 - 4320 = 70f1 – 50f1
20f1 =480
f1 =24
24. Solution: 20+60 +70 +x +60 = 250
 x = 250-210=40 2
Modal class= 120-140
Mode = l +[(f1-f0)/(2f1 –f0 –f2 )] x h
= 120 + [(70 – 60)/(140-60-40)]x20
=125
Hence modal mass is 125 g.
