In a set of 25 cards, each card bears only one number from 1 to 25. One card is drawn randomly. Write the sample space for this random experiment

A two-digit number is formed with digits 2, 3, 5 without repetition. Write the sample space

Write the event in the set form for the following random experiment. ‘If one die is thrown, the number obtained on the upper face is even.’

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`

Two coins are tossed simultaneously. Write the sample space (S) and expected sample points in the given events by completing the activity.

1. Event A: to get at least one head.
2. Event B: to get no head.

Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space, when two coins are tossed simultaneously.

∴ S = `{square, HT, TH, square}`

i. Event A: to get at least one head.

∴ A = `{HH, square, TH}`

ii. Event B: to get no head.

∴ B = `{square}`.

A card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of the event, the card drawn is a red card.

Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.

∴ n(S) = 52

Event A: Card drawn is a red card.

∴ Total red cards = `square` hearts + 13 diamonds

∴ n(A) = `square`

∴ P(A) = `square/(n("S"))`    ......[Formula]

P(A) = `26/52`

P(A) = `square`

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`

P(A) = `square/("n"("S"))`     ......[Formula]

P(A) = `square`

A card is drawn at random from a pack of well shuffled 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is a spade.

If two coins are tossed, find the probability of event getting head on both the coins

If one die is rolled, then find the probability of event that the number on the upper face is greater than 6?

If three coins are tossed simultaneously, find the probability of the event to get no head

There are 30 cards in a box, each bearing one of the numbers from 1 to 30. One card is drawn at random from the box. Find the probability of event that the card drawn shows a number which is a multiple of 5

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`

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.

Activity : Let ‘S’ is the sample space.

∴ n(S) = 5 + 6 + 2 = 13

Event B: it is a peppermint chocolate.

∴ n(B) = `square`

∴ P(B) = `square/("n"("S"))`     .......[Formula]

P(B) = `square/13`

If two dice are rolled simultaneously, find the probability of the following events.

Event A: The sum of the digits on the upper faces is at least 10

If two dice are rolled simultaneously, find the probability of the following events.

Event B: The sum of the digits on the upper faces is 33

If three coins are tossed simultaneously, find the probability of the following events

Event A: To get no head.

If three coins are tossed simultaneously, find the probability of the following events.

Event B: To get at least two heads.

If One coin and one die are thrown simultaneously, find the probability of the following events.

Event A: To get a tail and an even number

If One coin and one die are thrown simultaneously, find the probability of the following events.

Event B: To get head and an odd number
