Exercise 13.1

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

We have, No. of good pens $=132$ No. of defective pens $=12$ Therefore, the total no. of pens $=132+12=144$ Then we have, the total no. of possible outcomes $=144$ Now, let E be the event of getting...

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

We have, No. of good pens $=144–20=124$ No. of detective pens $=20$ Therefore, Total no. of possible outcomes $=144$ (total no. of pens) (i) So, for her to buy it the pen should be a good one. So,...

In a class, there are $18$ girls and $16$ boys. The class teacher wants to choose one pupil for class monitor. Then What she does, she writes the name of each pupil on a card and puts them into a basket and mixes thoroughly. If A child is asked to pick one card from the basket. What is the probability that the name written on the card is: (i) The name of a girl (ii) The name of a boy?

Given that In a class there are $18$ girls and $16$ boys, the class teacher wants to choose one name. The class teacher writes all pupils’ name on a card and puts them in basket and mixes well...

A game of chance consists of spinning an arrow which is equally likely to come to rest pointing to one of the number, $1,2,3,….,12$ as shown in figure. What is the probability that it will point to:(iii) a number which is multiple of $3$? (iv) an even number?

(iii) So, Favorable outcomes i.e. to get a multiple of $3$ are $3,6,9,$ and $12$ Therefore, total number of favorable outcomes i.e. to get a multiple of $3$ is $4$ We know that the Probability =...

A game of chance consists of spinning an arrow which is equally likely to come to rest pointing to one of the number, $1,2,3,….,12$ as shown in figure. What is the probability that it will point to: (i) $10$? (ii) an odd number?

Given that A game of chance consists of spinning an arrow which is equally likely to come to rest pointing number $1,2,3…12$ to find: Probability of following So, Total numbers on the spin is 12 (i)...

Five cards are given– ten, jack, queen, king, and an ace of diamonds are shuffled face downwards. One card is picked at random. Then (i) What is the probability that the card is a queen? (ii) If a king is drawn first and put aside, then what is the probability that the second card picked up is the (a) ace? (b) king?

Given that Five cards-ten, jack, queen, king and Ace of diamond are shuffled face downwards. to find: Probability of following Total number of cards is $5$ (i) Now Total number of cards which is a...
