1000 families with 2 children were selected randomly and the following data were recorded:
If a family is chosen at random, find the probability that it has
No boy
One boy
2 boys
at least one boy
at most 1 boy
Answer
Total Number of Families =$240 + 560 + 200= 1000$
a. P( No boy) = $ \frac {240}{1000} = \frac {6}{25}$
b. P( one boy) = $ \frac {560}{1000} = \frac {14}{25}$
c. P( twp boy) = $ \frac {200}{1000} = \frac {1}{5}$
d. P( at least one boy) = $ \frac {200 + 560}{1000} = \frac {19}{25}$
d. P( at most 1 boy) = $ \frac {240 + 560}{1000} = \frac {4}{5}$
Question 2.
The percentage of marks obtained by a student in the monthly unit tests are given below:
Find the probability that the students gets:
a first class i.e. at least 60% marks
marks between 70% and 80%
a distinction i.e. 75% or above
less than 65% marks
Answer
Total Number of students =$58 + 74 + 76 + 62 + 85= 355$
a. P( a first class i.e. at least 60% marks) = $ \frac {62 + 74 + 76 + 85}{355} = \frac {297}{355}$
b. P(marks between 70% and 80%) = $ \frac {74 + 76}{355} = \frac {30}{71}$
c. P(a distinction i.e. 75% or above) = $ \frac {76 + 85}{355} = \frac {161}{355}$
d. P(less than 65% marks) = $ \frac {62+ 58}{355} = \frac {24}{71}$
Question 3.
On the page of a telephone directory, there were 200 telephone numbers. The frequency distribution of their unit place digit(for example, in the number 55828573, the unit place is 3) is given in the table below
A no. is chosen at random, find the probability that the digit at the unit’s place is:
9
a non- zero multiple of 3
a non- zero even no.
an odd no.
Answer
Total Number of telephone numbers =200
a. P( 9) = $ \frac {20}{200} = \frac {1}{10}$
b. P(a non- zero multiple of 3) = $ \frac {22 + 14+ 20}{200} = \frac {7}{25}$
c. P(a non- zero even no) = $ \frac {22 + 20 + 14 + 16}{200} = \frac {9}{25}$
d. P(odd no) = $ \frac {26+ 22+ 10+ 28 +20}{200} = \frac {53}{100}$
Question 4.
A tyre manufacturing company kept a record of the distance covered before a tyre to be replaced. Following table shows the results of 1000 cases
If you buy a tyre of this company, what is the probability that:
it will need to be replaced before it has covered 400km?
it will last more than 900 km?
it will need to be replaced after it has covered somewhere between 400km and 1400km?
it will not need to be replaced at all?
it will need to be replaced?
Answer
Total Number of Tyres =1000
a. P( it will need to be replaced before it has covered 400km) = $ \frac {210}{1000} = \frac {21}{100}$
b. P(it will last more than 900 km) = $ \frac {385 + 80}{1000} = \frac {93}{200}$
c. P(it will need to be replaced after it has covered somewhere between 400km an 1400km?) = $ \frac {325 + 385 + 80 }{1000} = \frac {79}{100}$
d. P(it will not need to be replaced at all) = $ \frac {0}{1000} = 0$
d. P(it will need to be replaced) = $ \frac {1000}{1000} = 1$

at most 15km from her place of work?
Answer
Total Number of Bagss=5
a. P( less than 7km from her place of work) = $ \frac {10}{40}= \frac {1}{4}$
b. P(at least 7km from her place of work) = $ \frac {30}{40} = \frac {3}{4}$
c. P(Within 1/2km from her place of work) = $ \frac {0 }{40} = 0$

Question 15. If the probability of winning a Hockey match is one half more than twice of probability of losing the match, find the probabilities of
winning of the match
losing of the match
Answer
Let x be the probability of losing a Hockey match
Then probability of winning a Hockey match = $2x + \frac {1}{2}$
Now $ x + 2x + \frac {1}{2} =1 $
$ 3x = \frac {1}{2} $
$x = \frac {1}{6}$
Now of Winning = $2x + \frac {1}{2}= \frac {1}{3} + \frac {1}{3} = \frac {5}{6}$
Question 16. The probability of guessing the correct answer to a certain questions is $\frac {x}{12}$. If the probability of not guessing the correct answer is $ \frac {3}{4}$. then find the value of x.
Question 17. If the difference between the probability of success and failure of an event is $ \frac {5}{19}$, find the probabilities of success and failure of an event.
Answer
Let the probability of success = a
Let the probability of failure = b
so, $a + b = 1$
Also given , $x - y = \frac {5}{19}$
Adding both above equation
$2a = 1 + \frac {5}{19}$
$a = \frac {12}{19}
$
Now for failure
$ \frac {12}{19} + b = 1
$
or
$b = =frac {7}{19}$
Question 19. If the probability of winning a race of an athlete is 1/6 less than twice the probability of losing the race, find the probability of winning the race.
Answer
Let the probability of not winning the race be a
Ley probability of winning the race be b
as according to question
$
a=2b- \frac {1}{6}$
or
$a -2b =- \frac {1}{6}$ --(1)
Also
$a + b=1$ -(2)
Substracting equation 1 and 2
$b= \frac {7}{18}$
Now From $a + b=$, we get
$a= \frac {11}{18} $
