A bag contains 8 red and some blue balls. One ball is drawn at random from the bag. If ratio of probability of getting red ball and blue ball is 2:5, then find the number of blue balls.
उत्तर
Suppose the number of blue balls = x
∴ n(Blue ball) = x
Number of red balls = 8
∴ n(Red ball) = 8
Total number of balls = 8 + x
∴ n(T) = 8 + x
P(Blue ball drawn) = `(n("Blue ball"))/(n(T))`
= `x/(8 + x)`
P(Red ball drawn) = `(n("Red ball"))/(n(T))`
=`8/(8 + x)`
According to the given condition
`(P("Blue ball drawn"))/(P("Red ball drawn")) = 5/2`
∴ `x/((8 + x)/8) = 5/2`
∴ `x/8 = 5/2`
∴ x = 20
Hence, the number of blue balls is 20.

If one die is rolled, then find the probability of the following event by completing the activity.
Event A: The number on the upper face is prime.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
∴ n(S) = 6
Event A: Prime number on the upper face.
A = {`square`}
∴ n(A) = 3
P(A) = `square/(n(S))` .....[Formula]
= `square/6`
∴ P(A) = `1/square`
A box contains 5 strawberry chocolates, 6 coffee chocolates, and 2 peppermint chocolates. If one of the chocolates is picked from the box at random, find the probability of the following events by completing the activity.
Event A: it is coffee chocolate.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 5 + 6 + 2 = 13
Event A: it is a coffee chocolate.
∴ n(A) = `square`
∴ P(A) = `square/("n"("S"))` .......[Formula]
P (A) = `square/13`

Let E be an event and P(E) = `6/7`, then find the value of P(not E).
An urn contains 12 red balls, 15 yellow balls and 18 blue balls. A ball is choosen at random, then to find the probability of choosing a blue and red coloured balls, fill in the boxes.
Total number of balls = 12 + `square` + `square` = `square`
(1) Let E be the event that the choosen ball is blue.
Number of blue balls = `square`
Thus,
P(E) = `"Number of blue balls"/"Total number of balls"`
= `square/square`
(2) Let F be the event that the choosen ball is red.
Number of red balls = `square`
Thus,
P(F) = `square/"Total number of balls"`
= `square/square`
