प्रश्न
If two coins are tossed, find the probability of event getting head on both the coins
उत्तर
Sample space,
S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}
∴ n(S) = 4
Let A be the event of getting head on both the coins.
∴ A = {HH}
∴ n(A) = 1
∴ P(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("S"))`
∴ P(A) = `1/4`

In Adarsh High School, out of 30 students in a class 3 students wear glasses (spectacles). If a student in the class is randomly selected, find the probability that he or she wears glasses (spectacles) by completing the following activity
Activity: There are a total of 30 students in the class.
∴ n(S) = `square`
Event: A selected student wears glasses (spectacles).
∴ n(A) = `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`

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`
