CHAPTER 15: PROBABILITY


Subjective Questions
1. The probability that Sachin will score a century in the next match is 0.7. Find the probability
that he will not score a century.
2. A bag contains 4 red, 7 white and 2 yellow balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. Find
the probability that it is not red.
3. A bag contains 25 cards numbered 1 to 25. One card is drawn at random from the bag. Find
the probability that this card has a number which is divisible by both 2 and 3.
4. A bag contains 24 balls out of which x are white. If one ball is drawn at random probability of
drawing a white ball is y.12 more white balls are added to the bag. Now if a ball is drawn
from the bag, the probability of drawing a white ball is 5y/3. Find the value of x.
5. A bag contains 5 red balls and some blue balls. If the probability of drawing a blue ball is
double that of a red ball, find the number of blue balls in the bag.
6. In a leap year, find the probability that there are 53 Sundays in the year.
7. A pair of coins is thrown once. Find the probability of getting:
(i) 2 heads (ii) 1 head and 1 tail
(iii) 2 tails (iv) at least one head
