probability of getting 10 of a black suit.

2. Find the probability of getting a number less than 5 in a single throw of a

3. A bag contains 5 red balls & 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.

4. A dice is thrown find the probability of getting an even number.

5. A dice is thrown find the probability of getting a number greater than 3.

6. A dice is thrown find the probability of getting a number between 3 & 6.

7. One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. Find the
probability of getting an ace.

8. One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. Find the
probability of getting 2 of spades.

9. 17 cards numbered 1,2,3…..16,17 are put into a box & mixed thoroughly.
One person draws a card from the box. Find the probability that the number on
the card is prime.

10. A bag contains 40 balls out of which some are red, some are blue and
remaining are black. If the probability of drawing a red ball is 11/20 and that of
blue ball is 1/5, find the number of black balls.

11. What is the probability of having 53 Mondays in a leap year?

12. From a bag containing 5 red, 8 black and 7 blue balls. A ball is selected at
random. Find the probability that (i) it is not a red ball. (ii) It is not a blue ball.

13. In a single throw of a die find the probability of getting a number divisible
by 2.

14. In a single throw of a die, find the probability of getting a prime number or
an even number.

15. Two dice are thrown simultaneously, find the probability of : (i) 3 not
coming up on either time. (ii) 3 not coming up atleast once, (iii) 3 coming up
both times.
16. . Probability of winning a game is 0.4. What is the probability of loosing the
game?

17. Tickets numbered from 1 to 20 are mixed together and a ticket is drawn at
random. What is the probability that the ticket has a number which is multiple
of 3 or 7?

18. A bag contains 100 identical tokens, on which numbers 1 to 100 are marked.
A token is drawn at random. What is the probability that the number on the token
is:
(a) an even number (b) an odd number (c) a multiple of 3 (d) a multiple of 5
(f) a multiple of 3 and 5 (g) a multiple of 3 or 5 (h) a number less than 20
(i) a number greater than 70(j) a perfect square number(k) a prime number less
than 20.

19. A card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of cards. Find the probability that
the card drawn is: (a) a queen (b) a king bearing diamond sign (c) a black card
(d) a jack (e) black and a queen (f) either black or a queen (g) a red card (h)
a face card (i) a diamond or a club (j) neither heart nor a jack (k) a 2 of diamond
(l) an ace of hearts (m) a face card of red colour (n) 10 of a black “suit”

20. In a simultaneous toss of two coins, find: (a) P(2 tails) (b) P(exactly one tail)
(c) P(no tails) (d) P(at most one head) (e) P(one head)

21. A coin is tossed successively three times. Find probability of getting exactly
one head or two heads.

22. Three coins are tossed once. Find probability of: (a) 3 heads (b) exactly 2
heads (c) at least 2 heads (d) at most 2 heads (e) no tails (f) head and tail
appear alternatively (g) at least one head and one tail.

23. Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Find: (a) P(an odd number as a sum)
(b) P(sum as a prime number) (c) P(a doublet of odd numbers) (d) P(a total of
at least 9) (e) P( a multiple of 2 on one die and a multiple of 3 on other die)
(f) P(a doublet) (g) P(a multiple of 2 as sum) (h) P(getting the sum 9)
i) P(getting a sum greater than 12) (j) P( a prime number on each die)
k) P( a multiple of 5 as a sum)

24. Find the probability that a leap year at random contains 53 Sundays.

25. Two black kings and two black jacks are removed from a pack of 52 cards.
Find the probability of getting: (a) a card of hearts (b) a black card (c) either a
red card or a king (d) a red king (e) neither an ace nor a king (f) a jack, queen
or a king.

26. Two unbiased dice are thrown. Find the probability that the total of the
numbers on the dice is greater than 10.

27. In a simultaneous throw of a pair of dice, find the probability of getting:

28. A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability
that card drawn is (i) a black king (ii) either a black card or a king (iii) black
and a king (iv) a jack, queen or a king (v) neither a heart nor a king (vi)
spade or an ace (vii) neither an ace nor a king (viii) Neither a red card nor a
queen.
(ix) other than an ace (x) a ten (xi) a spade

29. A bag contains 6 red balls and some blue balls. If the probability of drawing
a blue ball from the bag is twice that of a red ball, find the number of blue balls
in the bag.

30. A bag contains tickets numbered 11, 12, 13,..., 30. A ticket is taken out from
the bag at random. Find the probability that the number on the drawn ticket
(i) Is a multiple of 7 (ii) Is greater than 15 and a multiple of 5.

31. A box contains 12 balls out of which x are black. If one ball is drawn at
random from the box, what is the probability that it will be a black ball? If 6
more black balls are put in the box, the probability of drawing a black ball is
now double of what it was before. Find x.
