Probability

The document discusses the calculation of probabilities for various events involving coin tosses and dice rolls. It includes examples such as finding the probability of getting at least one head when tossing two coins and the probability of rolling an even number on a die. Additionally, it covers the creation of two-digit numbers using specific digits and the associated probabilities for different conditions related to those numbers.

Probability

122) Two coins are tossed simultaneously. Find the probability of getting:

(i) At least one head.


(ii) At most two tails.

2014/2016 (4 Marks)

On tossing two coins simultaneously, all possible outcomes are HH, HT, TH, TT.

i.e. Their number=4

(i) Let the event of getting at least one head be E1.

Then, outcomes favourable to E1 are HT, TH, HH.

⟹Their number = 3.

So, P (E1) =

(ii)Let the event of getting at most two tails be E2.

Then, outcomes favourable to E2 are HH, HT, TH, TT.

⟹ Their number=4

So, P(E2) =

123) A die is thrown once. Find the probability of getting:

(A) An even number


(B) A number greater than 3
(C) A number between 3 and 6
(D) A prime number

2014/2015 (4 Marks)

When a die is thrown once, the total possible outcomes are 1,2,3,4,5,6.

i.e., Their number=6.

(A) Let the event of getting an even number be E1. Then, outcomes favourable to E1.
Then, out comes favourable to E1 are 2,4,6.

⟹Their number =3

So, P(E1) =

(B) Let the event of getting a number greater than 3 be E2, Then, out comes
favourable to E2 are 4,5, 6.
⟹Their number = 3.
So, P(E2)=

(C) Let the event of getting a number between 3 and 6 be E3. Then, outcomes
favourable to E3 are 4, 5.
⟹ Their number= 2

So, P(E3)=
(D) Let the event of getting a prime number be E4, Then outcomes favourable to
E4. Then outcomes favourable to E4 are 2,3,5.
⟹Their number =3.

So, P(E4) = .

124) Two digits number are made using the digits 5 and 8 (repetition of digits is
allowed).

(A) Write the number.


(B) If a number among them is selected at random, what is the probability that
the number will be even?
(C) If a number among them is selected at random, what is the probability that
the sum of the digits of the number will be more than 12?
(D) If number among them is selected at random, what is the probability that
the sum of the digits of the number will be a multiple of 3?

2012/2015 (4 Marks)

(A) 55, 58, 85, 88

(B) P( number even)=

(C) Number whose sum of digits is more than 12 are 58, 85, and 88.

They are 3 in number.

So, required probability=

(D) In these numbers, no number has the sum of digits as a multiple of 3.

So, required probability
