Exercise 14.1

1. Describe the sample space for the indicated experiment: A coin is tossed three times.

Ans. Sample space of an experiment refers to the set of all possible outcomes of that experiment.

Every coin has two faces: Head (H) and Tail (T).

When a coin is tossed thrice, the total number of possible outcomes is \[{2^3} = 8\] .

Thus, when a coin is tossed three times, sample space is obtained as:

\[S = \{ HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT\} \]

2. Describe the sample space for the indicated experiment: A die is thrown two times.

Ans: When a die is thrown, the possible outcomes are \[1,2,3,4,5,6\] .

When a die is thrown twice, the sample space will be obtained as \[S = \{ (x,y):x,y = 1,2,3,4,5,6\} \] .

Total elements in this sample space are $6 \times 6 = 36$, while the sample space is given  by:

$S = \ (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),\\$

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

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

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

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

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

3. Describe the sample space for the indicated experiment: A coin is tossed four times.

Ans. Every coin has two faces: Head (H) and Tail (T).

When a coin is tossed four times, the total number of possible outcomes is \[{2^4} = 16\] .

When a coin is tossed four times, the sample space is obtained as:

S = HHHH,HHHT,HHTH,HHTT,HTHH,HTHT,HTTH,HTTT,

THHH,THHT,THTH,THTT,TTHH,TTHT,TTTH,TTTT  

4. Describe the sample for the indicated experiment: A coin is tossed and a die is thrown.

Ans. A coin has two faces: Head (H) and Tail (T).

A die has six faces numbered from \[1\] to \[6\] , with one number on each face. Thus, when a coin is tossed and a die is thrown simultaneously, the sample space is obtained as:

\[S = \{ (H1),\;(H2),\;(H3),\;(H4),\;(H5),\;(H6),(T1),(T2),(T3),(T4),(T5),(T6)\} \]

5. Describe the sample space for the indicated experiment: A coin is tossed and then a die is  rolled only in case a head is shown on the coin.

Ans. A coin has two faces: Head (H) and Tail (T).

A die has six faces numbered from \[1\] to \[6\] , with one number on each face.

Thus, when a coin is tossed and a die is rolled only if a head is shown on the coin, the sample space is obtained as:

\[S = \{ (H1),\;(H2),\;(H3),\;(H4),\;(H5),\;(H6),(T)\} \]

6. 2 boys and 2 girls are in Room X, and 1 boy and 3 girls in Room Y. Specify the sample space for the experiment in which a room is selected and then a person

Ans. We denote 2 boys and 2 girls in Room X as $B_1 , B_2 , G_1 , G_2$ respectively and 1 boy and 3 girls in Room Y as $B_3,G_3,G_4,G_5$ respectively.

Consequently, the required sample space is obtained as:

\[S = \{ {\rm{X}}{{\rm{B}}_1}{\rm{,X}}{{\rm{B}}_2}{\rm{,X}}{{\rm{G}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,X}}{{\rm{G}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{,Y}}{{\rm{B}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{,Y}}{{\rm{G}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{, Y}}{{\rm{G}}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{, Y}}{{\rm{G}}_{\rm{5}}}\} \]

7. One die of red color, one of white color and one of blue color are placed in a bag. One die is selected at random and rolled, its color and the number on its uppermost face is noted. Describe the sample space.

Ans. A die has six faces that are numbered from \[1\] to \[6\] . We denote the red, white, and blue dices as R, W, and B respectively.

Consequently, when a die is selected and then rolled, the sample is obtained as

\[S = \{ R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,R6,W1,W2,W3,W4,W5,W6,B1,B2,B3,B4,B5,B6\} \]

8. An experiment consists of recording boy-girl composition of families with \[2\] children.

(i) What is the sample space if we are interested in knowing whether it is a boy or girl in the order of their births?

Ans (i). When the order of the birth of a girl or a boy has to be considered, the sample space will be obtained as:

\[S = \{ GG,GB,BG,BB\} \]

(ii) What is the sample space if we are interested in the number of girls in the family?

Ans (ii). Since the maximum number of children in each family is \[2\] , a family can possibly have \[2\] girls or \[1\] girl or no girl.

So, the required sample space is:

\[S = \{ 0,1,2\} \]

9. A box contains \[1\] red and \[3\] identical white balls. Two balls are drawn at random in succession without replacement. Write the sample space for this experiment.

Ans. It is given that a box contains \[1\] red ball and \[3\] identical white balls. We denote the red ball with R and white ball with W.

When two balls are drawn randomly in succession without replacement, the sample space is obtained as:

\[S = \{ RW,WR,{\rm{ }}WW\} \]

10. An experiment consists of tossing a coin and then throwing it a second time if a head occurs. If a tail occurs on the first toss, then a die is rolled once. Find the sample space.

Ans. A coin has two faces: Head (H) and Tail (T).

A die has six faces that are numbered from \[1\] to \[6\] , with one number on each face. The experiment states that if a head occurs on tossing the coin, the it will be tossed a second time. However, if a tail occurs on tossing, then a die will be rolled.

Thus, in the given experiment, the sample space is obtained as:

\[S = \{ HH,HT,T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6\} \]

11. Suppose \[3\] bulbs are selected at random from a lot. Each bulb is tested and classified as defective (D) or non-defective (N). Write the sample space of this experiment?

Ans. \[3\] bulbs are selected randomly from a given lot. Further, each bulb is tested and then classified as defective (D) or non-defective (N).

The sample space of this experiment is obtained as:

\[S = \{ DDD,DND,DNN,NDD,NDN,NND,NNN\} \]

12. A coin is tossed. If the outcome is the head, a die is thrown. If the die shows up an even number, the die is thrown again. What is the sample space for the experiment?

Ans. On tossing a coin, possible outcomes are Head (H) or Tail (T).

 On throwing a die, the possible outcomes are \[1,2,3,4,5,6\] .

Thus, the sample space of this experiment is obtained as:

\[\begin{array}{l}S = \{ T,H1,H3,H5,H21,H22,H23,H24,H25,H26,\\H41,H42,H43,H44,H45,H46,H61,H62,H63,H64,H65,H66\} \end{array}\]

13. The numbers \[1\] , \[2\] , \[3\] and \[4\] are written separately on four slips of paper. The slips are put in a box and mixed thoroughly. A person draws two slips from the box, one after the other, without replacement. Describe the sample space for the experiment.

Ans. If \[1\] appears on the first drawn slip, then the possible numbers to appears on the second drawn slip are \[2\] , \[3\] or \[4\] . Similarly, if \[2\] appears on the first drawn slip, then the possible numbers to appears on the second drawn slip are \[1\] , \[3\] or \[4\] . The same holds true for the remaining numbers also.

Thus, the sample space of this experiment is obtained as:\[S = \left\{ {\left( {1,2} \right),\left( {1,3} \right),\left( {1,4} \right),\left( {2,1} \right),\left( {2,3} \right),\left( {2,4} \right),\left( {3,1} \right),\left( {3,2} \right),\left( {3,4} \right),\left( {4,1} \right),\left( {4,2} \right),\left( {4,3} \right)} \right\}\]

14. An experiment consists of rolling a die and then tossing a coin if the number on the die is even. If the number on the die is odd, the coin is tossed twice. Write the sample space for this experiment.

Ans. A die has six faces numbered from \[1\] to \[6\] . Among these numbers,  \[2\] , \[4\] , and \[6\] are even, while \[1\] , \[3\] , and \[5\] are odd.

There are two faces of a coin: Head (H) and Tail (T).

Thus, the sample space of this experiment is obtained as:

\[\begin{array}{l}S = \{ 2H,2T,4H,4T,6H,6T,1HH,1HT,1TH,1TT,3HH,3HT,3TH,3TT,\\5HH,5HT,5TH,5TT\} \end{array}\]

15. A coin is tossed. If it shows a tail, we draw a ball from a box which contains \[2\] red and \[3\]  black balls. If it shows head, we throw a die. Find the sample space for this experiment.

Ans. The box contains \[2\] red balls and \[3\] black balls. We denote the \[2\] red balls as \[{R_1}\] , \[{R_2}\]  and the \[3\] black balls as \[{B_1}\] , \[{B_2}\] and \[{B_3}\] .

Thus, the sample space of this experiment is given as:

\[S = \{ T{R_1},T{R_2}\;,T{B_1},T{B_2}\;,T{B_3},H1,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6\} \]

16. A die is thrown repeatedly until a six comes up. What is the sample space for this experiment?

Ans. In this experiment, six might come up on the first throw, or the second throw, or the third throw and so on till six is obtained.

Hence, the sample space of this experiment is obtained as:

\[\begin{array}{l}S = \{ 6,\left( {1,6} \right),\left( {2,6} \right),\left( {3,6} \right),\left( {4,6} \right),\left( {5,6} \right),\\\left( {1,1,6} \right),\left( {1,2,6} \right), \ldots ,\left( {1,5,6} \right),\left( {2,1,6} \right),\left( {2,2,6} \right), \ldots ,\left( {2,5,6} \right),\\\left( {3,1,6} \right),\left( {3,2,6} \right), \ldots ,\left( {3,5,6} \right),\left( {4,1,6} \right),\left( {4,2,6} \right), \ldots ,\left( {4,5,6} \right),\\\left( {5,1,6} \right),\left( {5,2,6} \right), \ldots ,(5,5,6)...\} \end{array}\]

Exercise 14.2

1. A die is rolled. Let E be the event “die shows \[4\] ” and F be the event “die shows even number”. Are E and F mutually exclusive?

Ans. When a dice is rolled, the sample space is \[S = \left\{ {{\bf{1}},{\bf{2}},{\bf{3}},{\bf{4}},{\bf{5}},{\bf{6}}} \right\}\] .

Further, \[E = \left\{ 4 \right\}\] and \[F = \left\{ {2,4,6} \right\}\] .

It is observed that \[E \cap F = \left\{ 4 \right\}\] .

Hence, E and F are not mutually exclusive events.

2. A die is thrown. Describe the following events:

(i) A: a number less than \[7\]

Ans. When a die is rolled, the sample space is obtained as \[S = \left\{ {{\bf{1}},{\bf{2}},{\bf{3}},{\bf{4}},{\bf{5}},{\bf{6}}} \right\}\] .

\[A = \left\{ {{\bf{1}},{\bf{2}},{\bf{3}},{\bf{4}},{\bf{5}},{\bf{6}}} \right\}\]

(ii) B: a number greater than \[7\]

Ans. When a die is rolled, the sample space is obtained as \[S = \left\{ {{\bf{1}},{\bf{2}},{\bf{3}},{\bf{4}},{\bf{5}},{\bf{6}}} \right\}\] .

\[B = \{ \Phi \} \]

Ans. When a die is rolled, the sample space is obtained as \[S = \left\{ {{\bf{1}},{\bf{2}},{\bf{3}},{\bf{4}},{\bf{5}},{\bf{6}}} \right\}\] .

\[C = \left\{ {3,{\bf{6}}} \right\}\]

Ans. When a die is rolled, the sample space is obtained as \[S = \left\{ {{\bf{1}},{\bf{2}},{\bf{3}},{\bf{4}},{\bf{5}},{\bf{6}}} \right\}\] .

\[F = \left\{ {3,4,5,{\bf{6}}} \right\}\]

(vii) Also find \[A \cup B\] , \[A \cap B\] , \[B \cup C\] , \[E \cap F\] , \[D \cap E\] , \[A - C\] , \[D - E\] , \[E \cap F'\] and \[F'\] .

Ans. We know that \[A = \left\{ {{\bf{1}},{\bf{2}},{\bf{3}},{\bf{4}},{\bf{5}},{\bf{6}}} \right\}\] , \[B = \{ \Phi \} \] , \[C = \left\{ {3,{\bf{6}}} \right\}\] , \[D = \left\{ {{\bf{1}},{\bf{2}},{\bf{3}}} \right\}\] , \[E = \left\{ {\bf{6}} \right\}\] , \[F = \left\{ {3,4,5,{\bf{6}}} \right\}\] . Further, \[F' = \left\{ {1,2} \right\}\] .

So, \[A \cup B = \left\{ {1,2,3,4,5,{\bf{6}}} \right\}\]

\[A \cap B = \left\{ \Phi  \right\}\]

\[B \cup C = \left\{ {3,{\bf{6}}} \right\}\]

\[E \cap F = \left\{ 6 \right\}\]

\[D \cap E = \left\{ \Phi  \right\}\]

\[A - C = \left\{ {1,2,4,5} \right\}\]

3. An experiment involves rolling a pair of dice and recording the number that comes up. Describe the following events:

A: the sum is greater than \[8\] , 

B: \[2\] occurs on either die 

C: The sum is at least \[7\] and multiple of \[3\] .

Which pairs of these events are mutually exclusive?

Ans. On rolling a pair of dice, the sample space is obtained as: \[S = \left\{ {\left( {{\bf{x}},{\bf{y}}} \right):{\bf{x}},{\bf{y}} = {\bf{1}},{\bf{2}},{\bf{3}},{\bf{4}},{\bf{5}},{\bf{6}}} \right\}\]

\[ = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}\left( {1,1} \right),\;(1,\;2),\;(1,\;3),\;(1,\;4),\;(1,\;5),\;(1,\;6),\left( {2,1} \right),\left( {2,2} \right),\left( {2,3} \right),\left( {2,4} \right),\left( {2,5} \right),\left( {2,6} \right),\\\left( {3,1} \right),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),\left( {4,1} \right),\left( {4,2} \right),\left( {4,3} \right),\left( {4,4} \right),\left( {4,5} \right),\left( {4,6} \right)\\\left( {5,1} \right),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),\left( {6,1} \right),\left( {6,2} \right),\left( {6,3} \right),\left( {6,4} \right),\left( {6,5} \right),\left( {6,6} \right)\end{array} \right\}\]

Subsequently,

\[A = \{ \left( {3,6} \right),\left( {4,5} \right),\left( {4,6} \right),(5,\;4),\left( {5,5} \right),\left( {5,6} \right)\left( {6,3} \right),(6,\;4),\left( {6,5} \right),\left( {6,6} \right)\} \]

\[C = \{ \left( {3,6} \right),\left( {4,5} \right),\left( {5,4} \right),\left( {6,3} \right),\left( {6,6} \right)\} \]

It is further observed that:

\[A \cap B = \left\{ \Phi  \right\}\]

\[B \cap C = \left\{ \Phi  \right\}\]

\[A \cap C = \left\{ {\left( {3,6} \right),\left( {4,5} \right),\left( {5,4} \right),\left( {6,3} \right),\left( {6,6} \right)} \right\}\]

Thus, events A and B and events B and C are mutually exclusive.

4. Three coins are tossed once. Let A denote the event “three heads show”, B denote the event “two heads and one tail show”, C denote the event “three tails show” and D denote the event “a head shows on the first coin”. Which events are

(i) mutually exclusive?

Ans. On rolling a pair of dice, the sample space is obtained as:

\[S = \{ HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT\} \]

Further, \[A = \{ HHH\} \] , \[B = \{ HHT,HTH,THH\} \] , \[C = \{ TTT\} \] , \[D = \{ HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT\} \] .

We conclude that \[A \cap B = \left\{ \Phi  \right\}\] , \[A \cap C = \left\{ \Phi  \right\}\] , \[A \cap D = \left\{ {HHH} \right\}\] , \[B \cap C = \left\{ \Phi  \right\}\] , \[B \cap D = \left\{ {HHT,HTH} \right\}\] , \[C \cap D = \left\{ \Phi  \right\}\] . 

Hence, events A and B; A and C; B and C; and C and D are all mutually  exclusive.

(ii) simple?

Ans. A simple event is an event that has only one sample point of a sample space. Therefore, A and C are simple events.

(iii) compound?

Ans. A compound event is an event that has more than one sample point of a sample space. Therefore, B and D are compound events.

5. Three coins are tossed. Describe:

(i) Two events which are mutually exclusive.

\[\begin{array}{l}C' = \{ {\rm{(1,5),(1,6),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),}}\\{\rm{(4,5),(4,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)\} }}\end{array}\]

Now, \[A \cap B' \cap C' = A \cap A \cap C'\]

\[ \Rightarrow A \cap C'\]\[\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow A \cap C' = \{ (2,4),(2,5),(2,6)(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),\\(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)\} \end{array}\]

7. Two dice are thrown. The events A, B and C are as follows: 

A: getting an even number on the first die.

B: getting an odd number on the first die.

C: getting the number on the dice \[ \le 5\] .

State true or false (give reason for your answer) :

(i) A and B are mutually exclusive.

Ans. When two dice are thrown, the sample space is obtained as:

\[S = \{ (x,y):x,y = 1,2,3,4,5,6\} \]\[ \Rightarrow \left\{ \begin{array}{l}\left( {1,1} \right),\;(1,\;2),\;(1,\;3),\;(1,\;4),\;(1,\;5),\;(1,\;6),\left( {2,1} \right),\left( {2,2} \right),\left( {2,3} \right),\left( {2,4} \right),\left( {2,5} \right),\left( {2,6} \right),\\\left( {3,1} \right),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),\left( {4,1} \right),\left( {4,2} \right),\left( {4,3} \right),\left( {4,4} \right),\left( {4,5} \right),\left( {4,6} \right)\\\left( {5,1} \right),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),\left( {6,1} \right),\left( {6,2} \right),\left( {6,3} \right),\left( {6,4} \right),\left( {6,5} \right),\left( {6,6} \right)\end{array} \right\}\]

Accordingly,

 \[\begin{array}{l}A = \{ \left( {2,1} \right),\left( {2,2} \right),\left( {2,3} \right),\left( {2,4} \right),\left( {2,5} \right),\left( {2,6} \right),\left( {4,1} \right),\left( {4,2} \right),\left( {4,3} \right),\left( {4,4} \right),\left( {4,5} \right),\left( {4,6} \right),\\\left( {6,1} \right),\left( {6,2} \right),\left( {6,3} \right),\left( {6,4} \right),\left( {6,5} \right),\left( {6,6} \right)\} \end{array}\]

\[\begin{array}{l}B = \{ \left( {1,1} \right),\;(1,\;2),\;(1,\;3),\;(1,\;4),\;(1,\;5),\;(1,\;6),\left( {3,1} \right),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),\\\left( {5,1} \right),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6)\} \end{array}\]\[C = \{ \left( {1,1} \right),\;(1,\;2),\;(1,\;3),\;(1,\;4),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),\;\left( {3,1} \right),(3,2),(4,1)\} \]

So, \[A \cap B = \{ \Phi \} \] , that is, the sets are mutually exclusive.

Hence the statement is true.

(ii) A and B are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.

Ans. We observe that \[A \cap B = \{ \Phi \} \] , that is, the sets are mutually exclusive. Further, \[A \cup B = S\] , so the sets are also exhaustive.

Hence the statement is true.

(iii) \[A = B'\]

Ans. We observe

 \[\begin{array}{l}B' = \{ \left( {2,1} \right),\left( {2,2} \right),\left( {2,3} \right),\left( {2,4} \right),\left( {2,5} \right),\left( {2,6} \right),\left( {4,1} \right),\left( {4,2} \right),\\\left( {4,3} \right),(4,4),\left( {4,5} \right),(4,6).\left( {6,1} \right),\left( {6,2} \right),\left( {6,3} \right),\left( {6,4} \right),\left( {6,5} \right),\left( {6,6} \right)\} \end{array}\] , that is, \[A = B'\] .

Hence the statement is true.

(iv) A and C are mutually exclusive.

Ans. We observe that \[A \cap B = \{ (2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(4,1)\} \] .

Thus, A and C are not mutually exclusive.

Hence the statement is false.

(v) A and \[B'\] are mutually exclusive.

Ans. We observe 

\[\begin{array}{l}B' = \{ \left( {2,1} \right),\left( {2,2} \right),\left( {2,3} \right),\left( {2,4} \right),\left( {2,5} \right),\left( {2,6} \right),\left( {4,1} \right),\left( {4,2} \right),\\\left( {4,3} \right),(4,4),\left( {4,5} \right),(4,6).\left( {6,1} \right),\left( {6,2} \right),\left( {6,3} \right),\left( {6,4} \right),\left( {6,5} \right),\left( {6,6} \right)\} \end{array}\] , that is, \[A = B'\] .

So, A and \[B'\] are not mutually exhaustive.

Hence the given statement is false.

(vi) \[A'\] , \[B'\] , C are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.

Ans. We observe that \[A' \cup B' \cup C = S\] , which means they are exhaustive.

However, \[B' \cap C \ne \Phi \] , so they are not mutually exhaustive.

Hence the given statement is false.

Miscellaneous Exercise

1. A box contains \[10\] red marbles, \[20\] blue marbles and \[30\] green marbles. \[5\] marbles are drawn from the box, what is the probability that:

(i) all will be blue?

Ans. Total number of marbles \[ = 60\]

The number of ways of drawing \[5\] marbles from \[60\] marbles is \[^{60}{C_5}\] .

All the marbles drawn will be blue if we draw \[5\] marbles out of the \[20\] blue marbles. \[5\] blue marbles can be drawn out of the \[20\] blue marbles in \[^{20}{C_5}\] ways.

Probability that all marbles will be blue is \[\frac{{^{20}{C_5}}}{{^{60}{C_5}}}\] .

(ii) at least one will be green?

Ans. Total number of marbles \[ = 60\]

Number of ways of drawing \[5\] marbles from \[60\] marbles is \[^{60}{C_5}\] .

Number of ways in which the drawn marbles is not green, that is, when red or blue marbles are drawn, is \[^{20 + 10}{C_5}{ = ^{30}}{C_5}\] .

So, probability that no marble is green is \[\frac{{^{30}{C_5}}}{{^{60}{C_5}}}\] .

Therefore, probability that at least one marble will be green is \[1 - \frac{{^{30}{C_5}}}{{^{60}{C_5}}}\] .

2. \[4\] cards are drawn from a well-shuffled deck of \[52\] cards. What is the probability of obtaining three diamonds and one spade?

Ans. Number of ways of drawing \[4\] cards from a pack of \[52\] cards are \[^{52}{C_4}\] .

In a deck, there are \[13\] diamonds and \[13\] spades.

So, the number of ways of drawing three diamonds and one spade is \[^{13}{C_3}{ \times ^{13}}{C_1}\] .

Hence, probability of drawing three diamonds and one spade is \[\frac{{^{13}{C_3}{ \times ^{13}}{C_1}}}{{^{52}{C_4}}}\] .

3. A die has two faces each with number ‘ \[1\] ’, three faces each with number ‘ \[2\] ’ and one face with number ‘ \[3\] ’. If die is rolled once, determine:

(i) \[P(2)\]

Ans. Total number of faces of the die is \[6\] .

Number of faces with the number ‘ \[2\] ’ is \[3\] .

Therefore, probability of obtaining the number \[2\] is \[P(2) = \frac{{n(2)}}{{n(S)}}\] .

\[ \Rightarrow P(2) = \frac{3}{6}\]

\[ \Rightarrow P(2) = \frac{1}{2}\]

(ii) \[\mathbf{P(1 \cup 3)}\]

Ans. Total number of faces of the die is \[6\] .

Number of faces with the number ‘ \[1\] ’ is \[2\] and with the number ‘ \[3\] ’ is \[1\] .

Therefore, probability of obtaining the number \[2\] or \[3\] is \[P(1 \cup 3) = \frac{{n(1 \cup 3)}}{{n(S)}}\] .

\[ \Rightarrow P(1 \cup 3) = \frac{{1 + 2}}{6}\] 

\[ \Rightarrow P(1 \cup 3) = \frac{1}{2}\]

(iii) \[P(3')\]

Ans. Total number of faces of the die is \[6\] .

Number of faces with the number ‘ \[3\] ’ is \[1\] .

Therefore, probability of obtaining the number \[3\] is \[P(3) = \frac{1}{6}\] .

\[ \Rightarrow P(3') = 1 - P(3)\] 

\[ \Rightarrow P(3') = 1 - \frac{1}{6}\]

\[ \Rightarrow P(3') = \frac{5}{6}\]

4. In a certain lottery, \[10,000\] tickets are sold and ten equal prizes are awarded. What is the probability of not getting a prize if you buy:

(i) one ticket?

Ans. Total number of tickets sold is \[10,000\] .

Number of prizes awarded is \[10\] .

If A is the event we buy \[1\] ticket, the probability of winning will be \[P(A) = \frac{{n(A)}}{{n(S)}}\] .

\[ \Rightarrow P(A) = \frac{{10}}{{10,000}}\]

\[ \Rightarrow P(A) = \frac{1}{{1,000}}\] 

So, probability of not getting a prize is \[P(A') = 1 - P(A)\] .

\[ \Rightarrow P(A') = 1 - \frac{1}{{1,000}}\]

\[ \Rightarrow P(A') = \frac{{999}}{{1,000}}\]

(ii) two tickets?

Ans. Total number of tickets sold is \[10,000\] .

Number of prizes awarded is \[10\] .

Number of tickets on which a prize is not awarded is \[10,000 - 10 = 9,990\] .

If B is the event we buy \[2\] tickets, the probability of not winning will be \[P(B) = \frac{{^{9,990}{C_2}}}{{^{10,000}{C_2}}}\] .

(iii) ten tickets?

Ans. Total number of tickets sold is \[10,000\] .

Number of prizes awarded is \[10\] .

Number of tickets on which a prize is not awarded is \[10,000 - 10 = 9,990\] .

If C is the event we buy \[10\] tickets, the probability of not winning will be \[P(C) = \frac{{^{9,990}{C_{10}}}}{{^{10,000}{C_{10}}}}\] .

5. Out of \[100\] students, two sections of \[40\] and \[60\] are formed. If you and your friend are among the \[100\] students, what is the probability that

(i) You both enter the same section?

Ans. You and your friend are among the \[100\] students. 

Total number of ways of selecting \[2\] students out of \[100\] students is ¹⁰⁰C₂.

If both of you enter the same section, you are either among the section having \[40\] students or the one having \[60\] students.

Number of ways in which you both can be in the same section is \[^{40}{C_2}{ + ^{60}}{C_2}\] . 

Probability that you both can be in the same section is \[\frac{{^{40}{C_2}{ + ^{60}}{C_2}}}{{^{100}{C_2}}}\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{{\frac{{40!}}{{2!38!}} + \frac{{60!}}{{2!58!}}}}{{\frac{{100!}}{{2!98!}}}}\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{{(40 \times 39) + (60 \times 59)}}{{(100 \times 99)}}\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{{17}}{{33}}\]

(ii) You both enter different sections?

Ans. Probability that you both can be in the same section is \[\frac{{17}}{{33}}\] .

Probability that you both are not in the same section will be \[1 - \frac{{17}}{{33}}\] .

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{{16}}{{33}}\]

6. Three letters are dictated to three persons and an envelope is addressed to each of them, the  letters are inserted into the envelopes at random so that each envelop contains exactly one letter. Find the probability that at least one letter is in its proper envelope.

Ans. Let \[{L_1},{L_2},{L_3}\] be the three letters and \[{E_1},{E_2},{E_3}\] be their corresponding envelopes.

There are \[6\] ways of inserting \[3\] letters in \[3\] envelopes. These are as follows:

\[\begin{array}{l}{L_1}{E_1},{L_2}{E_3},{L_3}{E_2}\\{L_2}{E_2},{L_1}{E_3},{L_3}{E_1}\\{L_3}{E_3},{L_1}{E_2},{L_2}{E_1}\\{L_1}{E_1},{L_2}{E_2},{L_3}{E_3}\\\;{L_1}{E_2},{L_2}{E_3},{L_3}{E_1}\\{L_1}{E_3},{L_2}{E_1},{L_3}{E_2}\end{array}\]

We observe that there are \[4\] ways in which at least one letter is inserted in its proper envelope.

Hence, the required probability is \[\frac{4}{6} = \frac{1}{2}\] .

7. A and B are two events such that \[P(A) = 0.54\] , \[P\left( B \right) = 0.69\] and \[P\left( {A \cap B} \right) = 0.35\] . Find:

(i) \[P\left( {A \cup B} \right)\]

Ans. It is given to us that \[P(A) = 0.54\] , \[P(B) = 0.69\] , \[P(A \cap B) = 0.35\] .

We know that \[P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)\]

\[ \Rightarrow P(A \cup B) = 0.54 + 0.69 - 0.35\]

\[ \Rightarrow P(A \cup B) = 0.88\]

(ii) \[P\left( {A' \cap B'} \right)\]

Ans. It is given to us that \[P(A) = 0.54\] , \[P(B) = 0.69\] , \[P(A \cap B) = 0.35\] .

We know that \[P\left( {A' \cap B'} \right) = P(A \cup B)'\]

\[ \Rightarrow P\left( {A' \cap B'} \right) = 1 - P(A \cup B)\]

\[ \Rightarrow P\left( {A' \cap B'} \right) = 1 - 0.88\]

\[ \Rightarrow P\left( {A' \cap B'} \right) = 0.12\]

(iii) \[P\left( {A \cap B'} \right)\]

Ans. It is given to us that \[P(A) = 0.54\] , \[P(B) = 0.69\] , \[P(A \cap B) = 0.35\] .

We know that \[P\left( {A \cap B'} \right) = P\left( A \right)--P\left( {A \cap B} \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow P\left( {A \cap B'} \right) = 0.54--0.35\]

\[ \Rightarrow P\left( {A \cap B'} \right) = 0.19\]

(iv) \[P\left( {B \cap A'} \right)\]

Ans. It is given to us that \[P(A) = 0.54\] , \[P(B) = 0.69\] , \[P(A \cap B) = 0.35\] .

We know that \[P\left( {B \cap A'} \right) = P\left( B \right)--P\left( {A \cap B} \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow P\left( {B \cap A'} \right) = 0.69--0.35\]

\[ \Rightarrow P\left( {B \cap A'} \right) = 0.34\]

8. From the employees of a company, \[5\] persons are selected to represent them in the managing committee of the company. Particulars of five persons are as follows:

A person is selected at random from this group to act as a spokesperson. What is the probability that the spokesperson will be either male or over \[35\] years?

Ans. Let E be the event that the spokesperson will be a male and F be the event that the spokesperson will be over \[35\] years of age.

Subsequently, \[P(E) = \frac{3}{5}\] and \[P(F) = \frac{2}{5}\] .

Since there is only one male who is above  \[35\] years of age, \[P(E \cap F) = \frac{1}{5}\] .

We know that \[P(E \cup F) = P(E) + P(F) - P(E \cap F)\]

\[ \Rightarrow P(E \cup F) = \frac{3}{5} + \frac{2}{5} - \frac{1}{5}\] 

\[ \Rightarrow P(E \cup F) = \frac{4}{5}\] 

Hence, the probability that the spokesperson will either be a male or over \[35\] years of age is \[\frac{4}{5}\] .

9. If four digits numbers greater than 5,000  are randomly formed from the digits \[0\] , \[1\] , \[3\] , \[5\] , and \[7\] , what is the probability of forming a number divisible by \[5\] when:

(i) the digits are repeated?

Ans. Since four-digit numbers greater than \[5,000\] are formed, the thousand’s digit is either \[5\] or \[7\] . Remaining three digits can be filled by any of the given digits with repetition. 

So, total number of ways of forming four-digit numbers are \[2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5\] , and subtract \[1\] from the obtained answer, as we cannot count \[5,000\] in the numbers.

\[ \Rightarrow 250 - 1\]

\[ \Rightarrow 249\] ways

A number is divisible by \[5\] if the digit at its unit’s place is either \[0\] or \[5\] .

Total number of four-digit   numbers   greater than \[5,000\]   that   are   divisible by \[5\] are \[(2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 2) - 1\] .

\[ \Rightarrow 100 - 1\]

\[ \Rightarrow 99\]

Therefore, the probability of forming a number divisible by \[5\] when the digits are repeated is \[\frac{{99}}{{249}} = \frac{{33}}{{83}}\]

(ii) the repetition of digits is not allowed?

Ans. Since four-digit numbers greater than \[5,000\] are formed, the thousand’s digit is either \[5\] or \[7\] . Remaining three digits can be filled by any of the given digits without repetition.

So, total number of ways of forming four-digit numbers are \[2 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 = 48\] .

A number is divisible by \[5\] if the digit at its unit’s place is either \[0\] or \[5\] .

When the digit at the thousands place is \[5\] , the units place can be filled only with \[0\] , so the number of possible ways are \[1 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6\] .

When the digit at the thousands place is \[7\] , the units place can be filled only with \[0\] or \[5\] , so the number of possible ways are \[1 \times 3 \times 2 \times 2 = 12\] .

Total number of four-digit   numbers   greater than \[5,000\]   that   are   divisible by \[5\] are \[12 + 6 = 18\] .

Therefore, the probability of forming a number divisible by \[5\] when the digits are repeated is \[\frac{{18}}{{48}} = \frac{3}{8}\] .

10. The number lock of a suitcase has \[4\] wheels, each labelled with ten digits i.e., from \[0\] to \[9\] . The lock opens with a sequence of four digits with no repeats. What is the probability of a person getting the right sequence to open the suitcase?

Ans. The number lock of suitcase has \[4\] wheels, each of which is labelled with ten digits, that is, from \[0\] to \[9\] .

Number of ways of selecting \[4\] different digits out of \[10\] digits is \[^{10}{C_4}\] .

Further, each combination of \[4\] different digits can be arranged in \[4\] ways.

Number of four digits with no repetitions \[{ = ^{10}}{C_4} \times 4!\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{{10!}}{{4!6!}} \times 4!\]

\[ \Rightarrow 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7\]

\[ \Rightarrow 5040\]

There is only one number that can open the suitcase.

Thus, the required probability is \[\frac{1}{{5040}}\] .

Topics covered in Class 11 Maths Chapter 14 Probability:

14.1 Introduction

Probability is a measure to tell how likely an event is going to happen. In mathematical terms, it is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes of an event to the total number of outcomes of the event. For an experiment having a total 'n' number of possible outcomes, the ‘x’ number of favorable outcomes, then the formula to calculate the probability of an event is as follows.

Probability of an event = Favorable Outcomes/Total Outcomes = x/n

The number of favorable outcomes can never cross the total number of outcomes. 

• The probability value of any outcome in an experiment will always lie between 0 and 1. Where the probability 0 represents that the event is not going to happen and the probability 1 represents the event happens every time. 

• The value of probability of any outcome in an experiment can never be negative.

14.2 Random Experiments

In Probability, Random experiments are defined as experiments that may be repeated several times under the same conditions and the outcome of which cannot be predicted with 100% certainty.

14.3 Event

An Event in probability is a set of outcomes of any random experiment. The sample space includes all possible outcomes of an experiment. So, we can observe that the events are the subsets of the sample space.

14.4 Axiomatic Approach to Probability

Axiomatic Probability is another approach of describing the probability of an event. In this type of probability, few axioms (rules) are predefined before assigning probabilities. In this method, we can ease the calculation of occurrence and non-occurrence of the event.
