A dice is rolled 600 times and the occurrence of the outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are given below:
| Outcome | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Frequency | 200 | 30 | 120 | 100 | 50 | 100 |
The probability of getting a prime number is
पर्याय
`1/3`
`2/3`
`49/60`
`39/125`
उत्तर
The total number of trials is 600.
Let A be the event of getting a prime number (2, 3 and5).
The number of times A happens is 30+120+50 = 200 .
Remember the empirical or experimental or observed frequency approach to probability.
If n be the total number of trials of an experiment and A is an event associated to it such that A happens in m-trials. Then the empirical probability of happening of event A is denoted by P (A) and is given by
` P (A) = m/n`
Therefore, we have
` P (A) = 200/600`
`= 1/3`

An organization selected 2400 families at random and surveyed them to determine a relationship between income level and the number of vehicles in a family. The information gathered is listed in the table below:-
|
Monthly income (in Rs.) |
Vehicles per family | |||
| 0 | 1 | 2 | Above 2 | |
| Less than 7000 | 10 | 160 | 25 | 0 |
| 7000 – 10000 | 0 | 305 | 27 | 2 |
| 10000 – 13000 | 1 | 535 | 29 | 1 |
| 13000 – 16000 | 2 | 469 | 59 | 25 |
| 16000 or more | 1 | 579 | 82 | 88 |
Suppose a family is chosen, find the probability that the family chosen is
(i) earning Rs 10000 − 13000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles.
(ii) earning Rs 16000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle.
(iii) earning less than Rs 7000 per month and does not own any vehicle.
(iv) earning Rs 13000 − 16000 per month and owning more than 2 vehicles.
(v) owning not more than 1 vehicle.
