Answer:_______________

A two digit number is formed with the digits 3, 6 and 8. Find the probability that the number so formed is greater than 68 (repetition of digits is not allowed).

Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$

SOLUTION 1 :

Sample space, S = { 36, 38, 63, 68, 83, 86 }

n(S) = 6.

Let A be the event of the number so formed is greater than 68.

A = { 83, 86 }.

n(A) = 2.

P(A) = $\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$

= $\frac{2}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

A number is selected at random from integers 1 to 100. Find the probability that it is a perfect square

Answer: $\frac{1}{10}$

SOLUTION 1 :

Sample space, S = { 1,2,3, ...... 100 }

n(S) = 100.

Let A be the event of choosing a perfect square number

A = { 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 }

n(A) = 10.

P(A) = $\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$

= $\frac{10}{100}$ = $\frac{1}{10}$

Two dice are rolled and the product of the outcomes (numbers) are found. What is the probability that the product so found is a prime number

Answer: $\frac{1}{6}$

SOLUTION 1 :

When two dice are thrown, the sample space is

S = { (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) }

n (S) = 6 x 6 = 36.

Let A be the event of getting two digit number formed is a prime number.

A = { (1,2), (1,3), (1,5), (2,1), (3,1), (5,1) }

n(A) = 6.

Hence P(A) = $\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$

= $\frac{6}{36}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$ .

A two digit number is formed with the digits 3, 4 and 8. Find the probability that the number so formed is greater than 48 (repetition of digits is not allowed).

Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$

SOLUTION 1 :

Sample space, S = { 34, 38, 43, 48, 83, 84 }

n(S) = 6.

Let A be the event of the number so formed is greater than 48.

A = { 83, 84 }.

n(A) = 2.

P(A) = $\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$

= $\frac{2}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

A number is selected at random from integers 1 to 100. Find the probability that it is not a perfect cube.

Answer: $\frac{24}{25}$

SOLUTION 1 :

Sample space, S = { 1,2,3, ...... 100 }

n(S) = 100.

Let B be the event of choosing a number, which is not a perect cube.

Perfect cube numbers from 1 to 100 is C = { 1, 8, 27, 64}.

n(C) = 4.

n(B) = n(S) - n(C)

n(B) = 100 - 4 = 96.

n(B) = 96.

P(A) = $\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}$

= $\frac{96}{100}$ = $\frac{24}{25}$

20 cards are numbered from 1 to 20 . One card is grawn at randon, What is the probablity that the number on the card is a multiples of 4

Answer: $\frac{1}{4}$

SOLUTION 1 :

Sample space , n(S) = 20.

Let A be the event of drawing a card, which is multiple of 4.

A = { 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 }

n(A) = 5

P(A) = $\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$

= $\frac{5}{20}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$

There dice are thrown simultaneously. Find the probability of getting the same number on all the three dice.

Answer: $\frac{1}{36}$

SOLUTION 1 :

When three dice are rolled, the sample space

S = { (1,1,1), (1,1,2), (1,1,3), ... (6,6,6).

S contains 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 outcomes.

Let A be the event of getting the sum of face numbers are same.

A = { (1,1,1), (2,2,2), (3,3,3), (4,4,4), (5,5,5), (6,6,6) }

n(A) = 6.

P(A) = $\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$

= $\frac{6}{216}$ = $\frac{1}{36}$

Answer: $\frac{1}{2}$

SOLUTION 1 :

Sample space, S = { Argentina, Bangaladesh, China, Angola, Russia, Algeria }

n(S) = 6.

Let C be the event of selecting the country will begin with A.

C = { Argentina, Angola, Algeria }.

n(C) = 3.

P(C) = $\frac{n(C)}{n(S)}$

= $\frac{3}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

20 cards are numbered from 1 to 20 . One card is grawn at randon, What is the probablity that the number on the card is not a multiples of 6

Answer: $\frac{17}{20}$

SOLUTION 1 :

Sample space , n(S) = 20.

Let A be the event of drawing a card, which is not a multiple of 6.

B = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20 }.

n(B) = 17

P(A) = $\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}$

= $\frac{17}{20}$

10)

A two digit number is formed with the digits 3, 4 and 9. Find the probability that the number so formed is greater than 49 (repetition of digits is not allowed).

Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$

SOLUTION 1 :

Sample space, S = { 34, 39, 43, 49, 93, 94 }

n(S) = 6.

Let A be the event of the number so formed is greater than 49.

A = { 93, 94 }.

n(A) = 2.

P(A) = $\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$

= $\frac{2}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$
