The outcomes are equally likely outcome.

(iv) A baby is born. It is a boy or a girl. 

3. Why is tossing a coin considered to be a fair way of deciding which team should get the ball at the beginning of a football game?

We already know the fact that a coin has only two sides, head and tail. So, when we toss a coin, it will either give us the result head or tail. There is no chance of the coin landing on his edge. And on the other hand, the chances of getting head and tail are also just the same. So, it can be concluded that the tossing of a coin is a fair way to decide the utcome, as it can not be biased and both teams will have the same chance of winning.

4. Which of the following cannot be the probability of an event?

(A) $\frac{2}{3}$

The probability of an event have to always be in the range of $[0,1]$ .

Now, let us the check the given values.

We can see, $\frac{2}{3}=0.67$ . This is in the given range. It can be a probability of an event.

We can see, $-1.5$ , which is a negative number and not inside the given range. It can not be a probability of an event.

We can see, $15%=\frac{15}{100}=0.15$ . This is in the given range of $[0,1]$ . It can be a probability of an event.

(D) $0.7$ 

We can see, $0.7$ , which is in the given range. It can be a probability of an event.

5. If $P(E)=0.05$ , what is the probability of an event ‘not $E$’? 

The sum of the probabilities of all events in always $1$ .

Thus, if $P(E)=0.05$ , the probability of the event ‘not E’ is, $1-0.05=0.95$.

6. A bag contains lemon flavored candies only. Malini takes out one candy without looking into the bag. What is the probability that she takes out

i.an orange flavored candy?

There is no orange candy available in the bag, so, the probability of taking out an orange flavored candy is $0$.

(ii) a lemon flavored candy? 

All the candies in the bag are lemon flavored candies only. Thus, any candy Malini takes out will be a lemon flavored candy. 

So, the probability of taking out a lemon flavored candy is $1$.

7. It is given that in a group of 3 students, the probability of $2$  students not having the same birthday is $0.992$ . What is the probability that the $2$  students have the same birthday?

It is provided to us that, probability of 2 students not having the same birthday is, $0.992$ .

So,$P(2\text{ students }\text{having }\text{the}\text{ same}\text{ birthday})+P(\text{2}\text{ students }\text{not }\text{having }\text{the}\text{ same}\text{ birthday})=1$

$\Rightarrow P(\text{2}\text{ students}\text{ having}\text{ the }\text{same}\text{ birthday})+0.992=1$

Simplifying further,

$P(2 \text{students having the same birthday})=0.008$.

8. A bag contains $3$  red balls and $5$  black balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. What is the probability that the ball drawn is (i) red ?

The bag is having $3$ red balls and $5$ black balls. 

Now, the probability of getting a red ball will be, $\frac{number\,of\,red\,balls}{total\,number\,of\,balls}$ .

Putting the values, we get, $\frac{3}{3+5}=\frac{3}{8}$ .  

(ii) not red? 

And, the probability of getting a red ball will be, $1-\frac{number\,of\,red\,balls}{total\,number\,of\,balls}$.

Again, putting the values, $1-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{5}{8}$.

9. A box contains $5$ red marbles, $8$ white marbles and green marbles. One marble is taken out of the box at random. What is the probability that the marble taken out will be (i) red ?

The box is containing, $5$ red marbles, $8$ white marbles and green marbles.

The probability of getting a red marble will be, $\frac{number\,of\,red\,marbles}{total\,number\,of\,marbles}$

Putting the values, $\frac{5}{5+8+4}=\frac{5}{17}$.

(ii) white ? 

Again, the probability of getting a white marble will be, $\frac{number\,of\,white\,marbles}{total\,number\,of\,marbles}$

Putting the values, $\frac{8}{5+8+4}=\frac{8}{17}$.  

(iii) not green? 

And, the probability of getting a green marble will be, $\frac{number\,of\,green\,marbles}{total\,number\,of\,marbles}$.

Putting the values, $\frac{4}{5+8+4}=\frac{4}{17}$ .

So, the probability of the marble not being green will be, $1-\frac{4}{17}=\frac{13}{17}$.  

10. A piggy bank contains hundred $50$ p coins, fifty ` $1$  coins, twenty ` $2$  coins and ten ` $5$  coins. If it is equally likely that one of the coins will fall out when the bank is turned upside down, what is the probability that the coin (i) will be a $50$  p coin ?

We are provided with the fact that, the piggy bank contains, hundred $50$ p coins, fifty $1$ rs coins, twenty $2$ rs coins and ten $5$ rs coins.

So, the total number of coins, $100+50+20+10=180$ .

Thus, the probability of drawing a $50$ p coin, $\frac{100}{180}=\frac{5}{9}$.

ii. will not be a ` $5$  coin?

Similarly, the probability of drawing a $5$ rs coin, $\frac{10}{180}=\frac{1}{18}$ .

Thus, the probability of not getting a $5$ rs coin, $1-\frac{1}{18}=\frac{17}{18}$ .

Gopi buys a fish from a shop for his aquarium. The shopkeeper takes out one fish at random from a tank containing $5$  male fish and $8$  female fish (see Fig. 15.4). What is the probability that the fish taken out is a male fish? 

The total number of fishes in the tank, $5+8=13$ .

Thus, the probability of getting a male fish, $\frac{no\,of\,male\,fishes}{total\,no\,of\,fishes}=\frac{5}{13}$.

12. A game of chance consists of spinning an arrow which comes to rest pointing at one of the numbers $1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8$  (see Fig. 15.5), and these are equally likely outcomes. What is the probability that it will point at

(i)$8?$ 

We can see, there are $8$  numbers on spinner then the total number of favorable outcome is $8$ .

Thus, the probability of getting the number $8$ is, $\frac{no\,of\,digit\,8\,on\,the\,spinner}{total\,number\,of\,digits}=\frac{1}{8}$.  

(ii) $\text{an odd number?}$

There are 4 odd digits, $1,3,5,7$ .

Thus, the probability of getting an odd number is,  

$\frac{no\,of\,odd\,digits\,}{total\,number\,of\,digits}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$ .

(iii) $\text{a number greater than 2?}$ 

There are 6 numbers greater than 2, say $3,4,5,6,7,8$ .

Thus, the probability of getting a number greater than 2, $\frac{no\,of\,digits\,greater\,than\,2\,on\,the\,spinner}{total\,number\,of\,digits}=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}$.

(iv) $\text{a number less than 9}$$?$ 

As we can see, every number in the spinner is less than $9$ , thus, we get, 

The probability of getting a number less than $9$ , will be, $1$.

13. A die is thrown once. Find the probability of getting (i) a prime number; 

There is $6$ results can be obtained from a dice. 

There are 3 prime numbers, $2,3,5$ among those results.

Thus, the probability of getting a prime number,$=\frac{\text{no }\text{of }\text{prime }\text{numbers }\text{in }\text{a}\text{ dice}}{\text{total}\text{ numbers}\text{ on }\text{dice}}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

(ii) a number lying between $2$ and $6$ 

There are 3 numbers between 2 and 6, 3,4,5.

Thus, the probability of getting a number between 2 and 6,

$=\frac{\text{no }\text{of }\text{numbers }\text{between }\text{2}\text{ and}\text{ 6 }\text{in}\text{ a}\text{ dice}}{\text{total}\text{ numbers }\text{on}\text{ dice}}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

(iii) an odd number. 

There are 3 odd numbers among the results, 1,3,5.

Thus, the probability of getting a odd number,

$=\frac{\text{no }\text{of}\text{ odd }\text{numbers}\text{ between}\text{ in }\text{a }\text{dice}}{\text{total}\text{ numbers }\text{on}\text{ dice}}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

14. One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting

(i) a king of red color

We know there are 52 numbers in the deck.

There are 2 kings of red color in the deck.

Thus, the probability,

$=\frac{total\,number\,of\,red\,kings}{total\,number\,of\,cards}=\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}$

(ii) a face cards 

There are 12 face cards in the deck.

$=\frac{total\,number\,of\,face\,cards}{total\,number\,of\,cards}=\frac{12}{52}=\frac{3}{13}$

(iii) a red face cards 

There are 6 red face cards in the deck.

$=\frac{total\,number\,of\,red\,face\,cards}{total\,number\,of\,cards}=\frac{6}{52}=\frac{3}{26}$

(iv) the jack of hearts

There are 1 jack of hearts card in the deck.

$=\frac{total\,number\,of\,red\,face\,cards}{total\,number\,of\,cards}=\frac{1}{52}$

(v) a spade

There are 13 spade cards in the deck.

$=\frac{total\,number\,of\,spade\,cards}{total\,number\,of\,cards}=\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}$

(vi) the queen of diamonds 

There are 1 queen of diamonds card in the deck.

15. Five cards—the ten, jack, queen, king and ace of diamonds, are well-shuffled with their face downwards. One card is then picked up at random.

(i) What is the probability that the card is the queen?

There are total 5 cards given in our deck.

Thus, the probability of getting a queen card among the 5 cards,

\[=\frac{number\,of\,queen}{number\,of\,total\,cards}=\frac{1}{5}\]

(ii) If the queen is drawn and put aside, what is the probability that the second card picked up is (a) an ace? (b) a queen? 

Now, the queen is put aside, so there will be 4 cards left.

a. Thus, the probability of getting a queen card among the 5 cards,

\[=\frac{number\,of\,ace}{number\,of\,total\,cards}=\frac{1}{4}\] 

b. There are no queen cards left in the deck.

Thus, the probability of getting a queen card among the 4 cards,

\[=\frac{number\,of\,queen}{number\,of\,total\,cards}=\frac{0}{4}=0\]

16. 12 defective pens are accidentally mixed with 132  good ones. It is not possible to just look at a pen and tell whether or not it is defective. One pen is taken out at random from this lot. Determine the probability that the pen taken out is a good one.

There are total (132+12)=144 number of pens in the lot.

And also there are 132 good pens in the given collection.

Thus, the probability of getting a good pen,

$=\frac{number\,of\,good\,pens}{number\,of\,total\,pens}=\frac{132}{144}=\frac{11}{12}$

17. A lot of 20  bulbs contain 4 defective ones. One bulb is drawn at random from the lot. What is the probability that this bulb is defective?

There are 4 defective bulbs among 20 bulbs.

Thus, the probability of getting a defective bulb,

$=\frac{number\,of\,defective\,bulb}{number\,of\,total\,bulb}=\frac{4}{20}=\frac{1}{5}$

ii. Suppose the bulb drawn in (i) is not defective and is not replaced. Now one bulb is drawn at random from the rest. What is the probability that this bulb is not defective ?

After the first draw, there are 19 bulbs left in the lot. Again, as the bulb was a non-defective bulb, the total non-defective bulbs are 15.

Therefore, the probability of not getting a defective bulb this time,

$=\frac{15}{19}$ .

18. A box contains 90 discs which are numbered from $1$  to $90$ . If one disc is drawn at random from the box, find the probability that it bears (i) a two-digit number. 

There are 81 two digit numbers between 1 to 90.

Thus, the probability of getting a two digit number in the draw,

$=\frac{the\,total\,number\,of\,two\,digit\,numbers}{total\,numbers}=\frac{81}{90}=\frac{9}{10}$

(ii) a perfect square number 

The number of perfect square numbers between 1 to 90.

Thus, the probability of getting a perfect number in the draw,

$=\frac{the\,total\,number\,of\,perfect\,number}{total\,numbers}=\frac{9}{90}=\frac{1}{10}$  

(iii) a number divisible by $5$. 

The number of numbers divisible by 5, 18.

Thus, the probability of getting a number divisible by 5 in the draw,

$=\frac{the\,total\,number\,of\,number\,divisible\,by\,5}{total\,numbers}=\frac{18}{90}=\frac{1}{5}$

19. A child has a die whose six faces show the letters as given below: A, A, B, C, D, E. The die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting (i) A? 

There are two A’s in the six faces, so, the probability of getting an A,

$=\frac{total\,number\,of\,A's}{total\,number\,of\,sides}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$

(ii)  D? 

There are one D in the six faces, so, the probability of getting an D,

$=\frac{total\,number\,of\,D's}{total\,number\,of\,sides}=\frac{1}{6}$  

20. Suppose you drop a die at random on the rectangular region shown in Fig. 15.6. What is the probability that it will land inside the circle with diameter 1m?

It is given that it is a rectangle with sides 3 m and 2 m.

Thus, the area of the rectangle,

$=$ length $\times$ breadth

$=3 \times 2=6 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$

The radius of the circle, half of diameter $=\frac{1}{2}\,m$ .

The area of the circle, $=\pi .{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{\pi }{4}\,{{m}^{2}}$

Thus, the probability of the die landing inside the circle is,

$=\frac{area\,of\,the\,circle}{area\,of\,the\,rectangle}=\frac{\frac{\pi }{4}}{6}=\frac{\pi }{24}$

21. A lot consists of $144$  ball pens of which $20$ are defective and the others are good. Nuri will buy a pen if it is good, but will not buy if it is defective. The shopkeeper draws one pen at random and gives it to her. What is the probability that

(i) She will buy it ? 

There are total 144 ball pens in the lot and 20 of them are defective.

Thus, the total number of non-defective pens, $(144-20)=124$ .

Nuri will not buy the pen if it is defective, thus,

The probability of getting a good pen is,

$=\frac{total\,no\,of\,good\,pens}{total\,no\,of\,pens}=\frac{124}{144}=\frac{31}{36}$

(ii) She will not buy it ? 

Now, the probability of Nuri not buying the pen is,

$=1-\frac{31}{36}=\frac{36-31}{36}=\frac{5}{36}$

22. Refer to example 13: (i) Complete the following table:

If there are two dices thrown simultaneously, then we can get the following results,

$(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6)$,

$(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)$

Thus, the total number of results is 36.

Probability of getting a sum of 2, $=\frac{1}{36}$ 

Probability of getting a sum of 3, $=\frac{2}{36}=\frac{1}{18}$ 

Probability of getting a sum of 4, $=\frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12}$ 

Probability of getting a sum of 5, $=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}$ 

Probability of getting a sum of 6, $=\frac{5}{36}$ 

Probability of getting a sum of 7, $=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}$ 

Probability of getting a sum of 8, $=\frac{5}{36}$ 

Probability of getting a sum of 9, $=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}$ 

Probability of getting a sum of 10, \[=\frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12}\] 

Probability of getting a sum of 11, $=\frac{2}{36}=\frac{1}{18}$ 

Probability of getting a sum of 12, $=\frac{1}{36}$ 

Thus, we get the values of our table.  

(ii) A student argues that there are $11$  possible outcomes$2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11\text{ and 12}$ .Therefore, each of them has a probability $\frac{1}{11}$ . Do you agree with this argument?

Justify your answer.

As we can see different values all over the table, we can conclude that, the given statement is wrong. The probability of each of them can never be $\frac{1}{11}$. 23. A game consists of tossing a one rupee coin $3$  times and noting its outcome each time. Hanif wins if all the tosses give the same result i.e., three heads or three tails, and loses otherwise. Calculate the probability that Hanif will lose the game.

Hanif will win if he gets 3 heads and 3 tails consecutively.

The probability of Hanif losing the game, = The probability of not getting 3 heads and 3 tails.

The possible outcomes of the tosses, $(HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT)$ 

The total number of outcomes is, 8.

Thus, the probability of not getting 3 heads and 3 tails, 

$=1-\frac{2}{8}=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}$.  

24. A die is thrown twice. What is the probability that

(i) $5$  will not come up either time? 

(Hint: Throwing a die twice and throwing two dice simultaneously are treated as the same experiment)

We can see that two dices are thrown altogether, thus the total number of outcomes =36.

Now, the total cases where atleast 5 occurs is, 11, i.e,$(1,5),(2,5),(3,5),(4,5),(5,5),(6,5),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,6)$  

So, the probability of not getting 5 either time is,$=1-\frac{11}{36}=\frac{25}{36}$.  

(ii) $5$  will come up at least once?

And, probability of getting 5 atleast once is,$\frac{11}{36}$.

25. Which of the following arguments are correct and which are not correct? Give reasons for your answer.

(i) If two coins are tossed simultaneously there are three possible outcomes—two heads, two tails or one of each. Therefore, for each of these outcomes, the probability is $\frac{1}{3}$. 

In this problem, two coins are tossed simultaneously, thus we get 4 outcomes, i.e, $(HH,HT,TH,TT)$ .

So, the probability of getting both heads and tails, $=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$ .

Thus, the statement is wrong.

(ii) If a die is thrown, there are two possible outcomes—an odd number or an even number. Therefore, the probability of getting an odd number is $\frac{1}{2}$. 

By throwing a die, we get 6 possible outcomes.

The odd numbers are $1,3,5$ .

Thus the probability of getting a odd number, $=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$ .

So, the statement is true.

Exercise 15.2

1. Two customers Shyam and Ekta are visiting a particular shop in the same week (Tuesday to Saturday). Each is equally likely to visit the shop on any day as on another day. What is the probability that both will visit the shop on (i) the same day?

Two customers are visiting the shop from Tuesday to Saturday (5 days).

So, the total number of ways they can visit the shop will be, $=5\times 5=25$ .

Again, the number of ways they can shop the same day is, $5$ .

So, the probability of both reaching the shop the same day,

$=\frac{shop\,on\,same\,day}{total\,number\,of\,ways}=\frac{5}{25}=\frac{1}{5}$.  

(ii) consecutive days? 

And, they reaching the shop in consecutive days in 8 number of ways.

So, the probability of both reaching the shop on consecutive days,

$=\frac{shop\,on\,consecutive\,days}{total\,number\,of\,ways}=\frac{8}{25}$ .

(iii) different days? 

We also have, 

$P(both\,of\,them\,reaching\,on\,same\,days)+P(both\,of\,them\,reaching\,not\,on\,same\,days)=1$ 

Putting the values,

$\frac{1}{5}+P($ both of them reaching not on same days $)=1$

$\Rightarrow P($ both of them reaching not on same days $)=\frac{4}{5}$

So, the probability of not reaching on the same day$=\frac{4}{5}$.  

2. A die is numbered in such a way that its faces show the numbers $1,2,2,3,3,6$ . It is thrown two times and the total score in two throws is noted. Complete the following table which gives a few values of the total score on the two throws: 

The total number of ways will be, $=6\times 6=36$.

i. The probability of the total scores as even numbers,

$=\frac{the\,ways\,of\,getting\,even\,sum}{total\,no\,of\,ways}=\frac{18}{36}=\frac{1}{2}$ 

ii. The probability of getting the total score 6,

$=\frac{the\,ways\,of\,getting\,even\,sum}{total\,no\,of\,ways}=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}$

iii. The probability of the total sum as 6 or less than 6,

$=\frac{the\,ways\,of\,getting\,even\,sum}{total\,no\,of\,ways}=\frac{15}{36}=\frac{5}{12}$

3. 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, determine the number of blue balls in the bag. 

Let us consider, the number of blue balls be,$x$ blue balls.

The total number of balls, $5+x$ balls.

Now, it is also said, the probability of drawing a blue ball is double that of a red ball.

2 (probability of getting a blue ball)=probability of getting a redball

$\Rightarrow 2\left(\frac{\text { number of blue balls }}{\text { totalballs }}\right)=\frac{\text { number of redballs }}{\text { total balls }}$

$2\left(\frac{5}{5+x}\right)=\frac{x}{5+x}$

$\Rightarrow x=10$ 

Thus, the number of blue balls is, $x=10$.

4. 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? 

There are $x$ balls among 12 balls which are black. Thus, the number of other balls, $12-x$ . 

The probability of getting a black ball, $=\frac{no\,of\,black\,balls}{total\,no\,of\,balls}=\frac{x}{12}$. 

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 $x$.

Now, 6 more black balls are added in the box. So, the total number of balls, $12-x+6=18-x$ .

And total no of black balls, $12+6=18$ .

Now, the probability of getting a black ball, $=\frac{no\,of\,black\,balls}{total\,no\,of\,balls}=\frac{x+6}{18}$.

So, we get,

$2\left(\frac{x}{12}\right)=\frac{x+6}{18}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{6}=\frac{x+6}{18}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{x+6}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 2 x=6$

$\Rightarrow x=3$ 

Before the total numbers of black balls were, $3$.

5. A jar contains $24$ marbles, some are green, and others are blue. If a marble is drawn at random from the jar, the probability that it is green is $\frac{2}{3}$ . Find the number of blue balls in the jar. 

Let us consider, the number of green marbles be, $x$ .

The total number of marbles in the jar is 24.

And the total number of blue marbles, $24-x$ .

The probability of getting green marbles in the draw be, $\frac{total\,no\,of\,green\,marbles}{total\,marbles}=\frac{x}{24}$ .

And, from the question, The probability of getting green marbles in the draw, $\frac{2}{3}$ .

$\frac{x}{24}=\frac{2}{3}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{24 \times 2}{3}=16$

So, number of blue marbles is $24-16=8$.

2. What are the applications of probability in day to day life?

Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with the likelihood of events happening. It is used in a wide variety of applications in our daily lives, including:

Weather forecasting: Weather forecasters use probability to estimate the likelihood of rain, snow, or other types of precipitation.

Sports betting: Sports bettors use probability to assess the likelihood of a particular team or player winning a game.

Insurance: Insurance companies use probability to calculate the risk of an event happening and to determine the premiums that they charge their customers.

Medical diagnosis: Doctors use probability to assess the likelihood of a patient having a particular condition.

Stock market investing: Stock market investors use probability to assess the risk of an investment and to determine the potential returns.

Marketing: Marketers use probability to target their advertising campaigns to the most likely customers.

Decision making: In many situations, we need to make decisions based on uncertain information. Probability can help us to make more informed decisions by providing us with a framework for assessing the likelihood of different outcomes.

Here are some other examples of how probability is used in our daily lives:

When we decide what to wear, we are essentially using probability to assess the likelihood of different weather conditions.

When we choose a route to drive to work, we are using probability to assess the likelihood of traffic congestion.

When we decide what to eat, we are using probability to assess the likelihood of different foods being available at the grocery store.

When we decide what to watch on TV, we are using probability to assess the likelihood of different shows being interesting to us.

3. What are the subtopics of Ch 15 Maths Class 10?

Subtopics of Chapter 15 of the Class 10 Maths NCERT textbook:

Introduction

Experiment and Outcome

Sample Space

Elementary Events

Favourable Outcomes

Probability of an Event

Theoretical Probability

Experimental Probability

Addition Theorem of Probability

Complement of an Event

Multiplication Theorem of Probability

This chapter introduces the concept of probability, which is the likelihood of an event occurring. It discusses the different types of events, such as elementary events, favourable outcomes, and sure events. The chapter also covers the two methods of calculating probability: theoretical probability and experimental probability. The addition and multiplication theorems of probability are also discussed in this chapter.

4. What can we learn in the chapter Probability?

In the chapter Probability, we can learn about the following:

The definition of probability and how it is measured.

The different types of events, such as elementary events, favourable outcomes, and sure events.

The two methods of calculating probability: theoretical probability and experimental probability.

The addition and multiplication theorems of probability.

How to use probability to make predictions about the outcomes of random events.

Here are some specific things we can learn:

The probability of an event can be anywhere from 0 to 1. A probability of 0 means that the event is impossible, while a probability of 1 means that the event is certain.

The probability of an event can be calculated by dividing the number of favourable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

If we repeat an experiment many times, the experimental probability of an event will approach the theoretical probability of the event.

The addition theorem of probability can be used to calculate the probability of two events occurring when the events are mutually exclusive.

The multiplication theorem of probability can be used to calculate the probability of two events occurring when the events are not mutually exclusive.

5. State the basic law behind probability?

The law of probability informs us how likely particular occurrences are to occur. According to the rule of large numbers, the more trials you have in an experiment, the closer you come to a precise probability. The multiplication rule is used to calculate the likelihood of two occurrences occurring at the same time. 

6. State an event where the probability is ½?

On tossing a random fair coin, there are two possible outcomes i.e. head and tail. 

When a coin is tossed, the probability of getting ahead is ½ and the probability of getting a tail is also ½. This is based on the probability of the specific event occurring.

7. What is the chapter probability about?

Probability is a field of mathematics that deals with numerical descriptions of what will happen in the future, or whether something is true or not. This is a high-scoring yet challenging Chapter in Class 10 Maths. As a result, you must be conversant with the tips and methods required to swiftly answer numerical issues.

Question. Three unbiased coins are tossed together. Find the probability of getting : (i) all heads (ii) two heads (iii) one head (iv) at least two heads Solution.  Here, possible outcomes are HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH and TTT. So, total no. of possible outcomes = 8 (i) favourable outcome = HHH So, No. of favourable outcome = 1 ∴ P (all heads) = no. of favourable outcomes / Total no. possible outcome = 1/8 (ii) favourable outcomes are HHT, THH and HTH. So, no. of favourable outcomes = 3 ∴ P (two heads) = 3/8 (iii) favourable outcomes are HTT, THT and TTH. So, no. of favourable outcomes = 3 ∴ P (one head) = 3/8 (iv) favourable outcomes are HHH, HHT, HTH and THH. So, no. of favourable outcomes = 4 ∴ P (at least two heads) = 4/8 = 1/2

Question. Find the probability that a leap year selected at random will contain 53 sundays. Solution.  In a leap year, there are 366 days. We have, 366 days = 52 weeks + 2 days.

Question. Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Find the probability of getting : (i) a doublet i.e. same number on both dice. (ii) the sum as a prime number. Solution.  Possible outcomes associated to the random experiment of throwing two dice are : (1, 1), (1, 2), ……., (1, 6) (2, 1), (2, 2), ……., (2, 6) ………………………………… ………………………………… (6,1) , (6, 2), ……., (6, 6) ∴ Total number of possible outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36 (i) The favourable outcomes are (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5) and (6, 6). ∴ Total no. of favourable outcomes = 6 So, P(a doublet) = no. of favourable outcomes / Total no. of possible outcomes = 6/36 = 1/6  (ii) Here, favourable sum (as a prime number) are 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11. So, favourable outcomes are (1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1), (1, 4), (4, 1), (2, 3), (3, 2), (1, 6), (6, 1), (2, 5), (5, 2), (3, 4), (4,3), (6, 5) and (5, 6). ∴ no. of favourable outcomes = 15 ∴ P (the sum as a prime number) = 15/36 = 5/12 Ans. 

Question. One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards, each of the 52 cards being equally likely to be drawn. Find the probability that the card drawn is : (i) an ace (ii) either red or king (iii) a face card (iv) a red face card Solution.  here, total no. of possible outcomes = 52. (i) There are 4 ace cards in a pack of 52 cards. One ace can be chosen in 4 ways. So, favourable no. of outcomes = 4 ∴ P (an ace) = no. of favourable outcomes / Total no. of possible outcomes = 4/52 = 1/13 (ii) There are 26 red cards, including 2 red kings. Also, there are 4 kings, two red and two black. ∴ card drawn will be a red card or a king if it is any one of 28 cards (26 red cards and 2 black kings) So, favourable no. of outcomes = 28 ∴ P(either red or king) = 28/52 = 7/13 (iii) Kings, queens and jacks are the face cards. So, favourable no. of outcomes = 3 × 4 = 12 ∴ P(a face card) = 12/52 = 7/13 (iv) There are 6 red face cards, 3 each from diamonds and hearts. So, favourable no. of outcomes = 6 ∴ P(a red face card) = 6/52 = 3/26

Question. An unbiased die is thrown. What is the probability of getting : (i) an odd number (ii) a multiple of 3 (iii) a perfect square number (iv) a number less than 4. Solution.  Here, total number of all possible outcomes= 6 (i) favourable outcomes are 1, 3, 5. So, no. of favourable outcomes = 3 ∴ P (an odd number) =   No. of favourable outcomes / Total no. of possible outcome = 3/6 = 1/2 (ii) favourable outcomes are 3 and 6. So, no. of favourable outcomes = 2 ∴ P (a multiple of 3) = 2/6 = 1/3 (iii) favourable outcomes are 1 and 4. So, no. of favourable outcomes = 2 ∴ P (a perfect square number) = 2/6 = 1/3 (iv) favourable outcomes are 1, 2 and 3. So, no. of favourable outcomes = 3 ∴ P (a number less than 4) = 3/6 = 1/2 

Question. Cards marked with the numbers 2 to 101 are placed in a box and mixed thoroughly. One card is  drawn from this box. Find the probability that the number of the card is : (i) an even number (ii) a number less than 14 (iii) a number which is a perfect square (iv) a prime number less than 20. Solution.  From 2 to 101, these are (101–2) + 1 = 100 numbers. So, total no. of possible outcomes = 100. (i) From 2 to 101, the even numbers are 2, 4, 6, …., 100 which are 50 in number. So, number of favourable outcomes = 50 ∴ P(an even number) = no. of favourable outcomes / Total no. of possible outcomes = 50/100 = 1/2 (ii) From 2 to 101, the numbers less than 14 are 2, 3, …., 13 which are 12 in number. So, no. of favourable outcomes = 12 ∴ P(a number less than 14) = 12/100 = 3/25 (iii) From 2 to 101, the perfect squares are 4, 9, 16, ….. 100, which are 9 in number. So, no. of favourable outcomes = 9 ∴ P (a number which is a perfect square) = 9/100 (iv) From 2 to 101, the prime numbers less than 20 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and 19 which are 8 in number. So, no. of favourable outcomes = 8 ∴ P (a prime no. less than 20) = 8/100 = 2/25

Question. A bag contains 3 red balls and 5 black balls.A ball is drawn at random from a bag. What is the probability that the ball drawn is : (i) red (ii) not red  Solution.  Total number of balls = 3 + 5 = 8 (i) P (red ball) = no. of red balls / Total no.of balls = 3/8 (ii) P (not red ball) = 1 – P(red ball) = 1 – 3/8 = 5/8

Question. A bag contains 12 balls out of which x are white. (i) If one ball is drawn at random, what is the probability that it will be a white ball? (ii) If 6 more white balls are put in the bag, the probability of drawing a white ball will be double than that in (i). Find x. Solution.  (i) Total number elementary events = 12. There are x white balls out of which one can be chosen in x ways. So, favourable number of elementary events = x ∴ p 1  = P (white ball) = no. of favourable outcomes / Total no. of possible outcomes  = x / 12 (ii) If 6 more white balls are put in the bag, then total number of balls in the bag =12 + 6 = 18 and, no. of white balls in the bag = x + 6 ∴ p 2  = p (getting a white ball) = x + 6 / 18 It is given that, p 2  = 2p 1 ⇒ x + 6 /18 = 2x x / 12 ⇒ x + 6 /18 = x / 6 ⇒ 6( x+ 6) = 18 x ⇒ 6x + 36 = 18x ⇒ 12 x = 36 ⇒ x = 3 Ans. 

Question. A jar contains 24 marbles, some are green and others are blue. If a marble is drawn at random from the jar, the probability that it is green is 2/3 . Find the number of blue marbles in the jar. Solution.  Total number of elementary events = 24. Let there be x green marbles. ∴ P (green marbles is drawn) = x / 24 but, P(green marbles is drawn) = 2/3 (given) ⇒ x/24 = 2/3 ⇒ x = 2/3 x 24 ⇒ x = 16 ∴ Number of green marbles = 16 ⇒ Number of blue marbles = 24 – 16 = 8 Ans.

Probability

Probability  means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one. Probability has been introduced in Maths to predict how likely events are to happen. The meaning of probability is basically the extent to which something is likely to happen. This is the basic probability theory, which is also used in the  probability distribution , where you will learn the possibility of outcomes for a random experiment. To find the probability of a single event to occur, first, we should know the total number of possible outcomes.

Probability Definition in Math

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur. Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty. We can predict only the chance of an event to occur i.e., how likely they are going to happen, using it. Probability can range from 0 to 1, where 0 means the event to be an impossible one and 1 indicates a certain event. Probability for Class 10 is an important topic for the students which explains all the basic concepts of this topic. The probability of all the events in a sample space adds up to 1.

For example , when we toss a coin, either we get Head OR Tail, only two possible outcomes are possible (H, T). But when two coins are tossed then there will be four possible outcomes,  i.e {(H, H), (H, T), (T, H),  (T, T)}.

Formula for Probability

The probability formula is defined as the possibility of an event to happen is equal to the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes and the total number of outcomes.

Sometimes students get mistaken for “favourable outcome” with “desirable outcome”. This is the basic formula. But there are some more formulas for different situations or events.

Solved Examples

1) There are 6 pillows in a bed, 3 are red, 2 are yellow and 1 is blue. What is the probability of picking a yellow pillow?

Ans: The probability is equal to the number of yellow pillows in the bed divided by the total number of pillows, i.e. 2/6 = 1/3.

2) There is a container full of coloured bottles, red, blue, green and orange. Some of the bottles are picked out and displaced. Sumit did this 1000 times and got the following results:

  • No. of blue bottles picked out: 300
  • No. of red bottles: 200
  • No. of green bottles: 450
  • No. of orange bottles: 50

a) What is the probability that Sumit will pick a green bottle?

Ans: For every 1000 bottles picked out, 450 are green.

Therefore, P(green) = 450/1000 = 0.45

b) If there are 100 bottles in the container, how many of them are likely to be green?

Ans: The experiment implies that 450 out of 1000 bottles are green.

Therefore, out of 100 bottles, 45 are green.

Probability Tree

The tree diagram helps to organize and visualize the different possible outcomes. Branches and ends of the tree are two main positions. Probability of each branch is written on the branch, whereas the ends are containing the final outcome. Tree diagrams are used to figure out when to multiply and when to add. You can see below a tree diagram for the coin:

Probability Tree

Types of Probability

There are three major types of probabilities:

Theoretical Probability

Experimental probability, axiomatic probability.

It is based on the possible chances of something to happen. The theoretical probability is mainly based on the reasoning behind probability. For example, if a coin is tossed, the theoretical probability of getting a head will be ½.

It is based on the basis of the observations of an experiment. The experimental probability can be calculated based on the number of possible outcomes by the total number of trials. For example, if a coin is tossed 10 times and head is recorded 6 times then, the experimental probability for heads is 6/10 or, 3/5.

In axiomatic probability, a set of rules or axioms are set which applies to all types. These axioms are set by Kolmogorov and are known as Kolmogorov’s three axioms. With the axiomatic approach to probability, the chances of occurrence or non-occurrence of the events can be quantified. The axiomatic probability lesson covers this concept in detail with Kolmogorov’s three rules (axioms) along with various examples.

Conditional Probability is the likelihood of an event or outcome occurring based on the occurrence of a previous event or outcome.

Probability of an Event

Assume an event E can occur in r ways out of a sum of n probable or possible equally likely ways . Then the probability of happening of the event or its success is expressed as;

The probability that the event will not occur or known as its failure is expressed as:

P(E’) = (n-r)/n = 1-(r/n)

E’ represents that the event will not occur.

Therefore, now we can say;

P(E) + P(E’) = 1

This means that the total of all the probabilities in any random test or experiment is equal to 1.

What are Equally Likely Events?

When the events have the same theoretical probability of happening, then they are called equally likely events. The results of a sample space are called equally likely if all of them have the same probability of occurring. For example, if you throw a die, then the probability of getting 1 is 1/6. Similarly, the probability of getting all the numbers from 2,3,4,5 and 6, one at a time is 1/6. Hence, the following are some examples of equally likely events when throwing a die:

  • Getting 3 and 5 on throwing a die
  • Getting an even number and an odd number on a die
  • Getting 1, 2 or 3 on rolling a die

are equally likely events, since the probabilities of each event are equal.

Complementary Events

The possibility that there will be only two outcomes which states that an event will occur or not. Like a person will come or not come to your house, getting a job or not getting a job, etc. are examples of complementary events. Basically, the complement of an event occurring in the exact opposite that the probability of it is not occurring. Some more examples are:

  • It will rain or not rain today
  • The student will pass the exam or not pass.
  • You win the lottery or you don’t.

Also, read: 

  • Independent Events
  • Mutually Exclusive Events

Probability Theory

Probability theory had its root in the 16th century when J. Cardan, an Italian mathematician and physician, addressed the first work on the topic, The Book on Games of Chance. After its inception, the knowledge of probability has brought to the attention of great mathematicians. Thus, Probability theory is the branch of mathematics that deals with the possibility of the happening of events. Although there are many distinct probability interpretations, probability theory interprets the concept precisely by expressing it through a set of axioms or hypotheses. These hypotheses help form the probability in terms of a possibility space, which allows a measure holding values between 0 and 1. This is known as the probability measure, to a set of possible outcomes of the sample space.

Probability Density Function

The Probability Density Function (PDF) is the probability function which is represented for the density of a continuous random variable lying between a certain range of values. Probability Density Function explains the normal distribution and how mean and deviation exists. The standard normal distribution is used to create a database or statistics, which are often used in science to represent the real-valued variables, whose distribution is not known.

Probability Terms and Definition

Some of the important probability terms are discussed here:

Probability of an Event

Applications of Probability

Probability has a wide variety of applications in real life. Some of the common applications which we see in our everyday life while checking the results of the following events:

  • Choosing a card from the deck of cards
  • Flipping a coin
  • Throwing a dice in the air
  • Pulling a red ball out of a bucket of red and white balls
  • Winning a lucky draw

Other Major Applications of Probability

  • It is used for risk assessment and modelling in various industries
  • Weather forecasting or prediction of weather changes
  • Probability of a team winning in a sport based on players and strength of team
  • In the share market, chances of getting the hike of share prices

Problems and Solutions on Probability

Question 1: Find the probability of ‘getting 3 on rolling a die’.

Sample Space = S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Total number of outcomes = n(S) = 6

Let A be the event of getting 3.

Number of favourable outcomes = n(A) = 1

i.e. A  = {3}

Probability, P(A) = n(A)/n(S) = 1/6

Hence, P(getting 3 on rolling a die) = 1/6

Question 2: Draw a random card from a pack of cards. What is the probability that the card drawn is a face card?

A standard deck has 52 cards.

Total number of outcomes = n(S) = 52

Let E be the event of drawing a face card.

Number of favourable events = n(E) = 4 x 3 = 12 (considered Jack, Queen and King only)

Probability, P = Number of Favourable Outcomes/Total Number of Outcomes

P(E) = n(E)/n(S)

P(the card drawn is a face card) = 3/13

Question 3: A vessel contains 4 blue balls, 5 red balls and 11 white balls. If three balls are drawn from the vessel at random, what is the probability that the first ball is red, the second ball is blue, and the third ball is white?

The probability to get the first ball is red or the first event is 5/20.

Since we have drawn a ball for the first event to occur, then the number of possibilities left for the second event to occur is 20 – 1 = 19.

Hence, the probability of getting the second ball as blue or the second event is 4/19.

Again with the first and second event occurring, the number of possibilities left for the third event to occur is 19 – 1 = 18.

And the probability of the third ball is white or the third event is 11/18.

Therefore, the probability is 5/20 x 4/19 x 11/18 = 44/1368 = 0.032.

Or we can express it as: P = 3.2%.

Question 4: Two dice are rolled, find the probability that the sum is:

  • less than 13

  • A die has its six faces marked 0, 1, 1, 1, 6, 6. Two such dice are thrown together and the total score is recorded. (i) How many different scores are possible? (ii) What is the probability of getting a total of 7?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Probability

What is probability give an example, what is the formula of probability, what are the different types of probability, what are the basic rules of probability, what is the complement rule in probability.

In probability, the complement rule states that “the sum of probabilities of an event and its complement should be equal to 1”. If A is an event, then the complement rule is given as: P(A) + P(A’) = 1.

What are the different ways to present the probability value?

The three ways to present the probability values are:

  • Decimal or fraction

What does the probability of 0 represent?

The probability of 0 represents that the event will not happen or that it is an impossible event.

What is the sample space for tossing two coins?

The sample space for tossing two coins is: S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}

Love the way you teach

There are 3 boxes Box A contains 10 bulbs out of which 4 are dead box b contains 6 bulbs out of which 1 is dead box c contains 8 bulbs out of which 3 are dead. If a dead bulb is picked at random find the probability that it is from which box?

Probability of selecting a dead bulb from the first box = (1/3) x (4/10) = 4/30 Probability of selecting a dead bulb from the second box = (1/3) x (1/6) = 1/18 Probability of selecting a dead bulb from the third box = (1/3) x (3/8) = 3/24 = 1/8 Total probability = (4/30) + (1/18) + (1/8) = (48 + 20 + 45)360 =113/360
