Question
Do the following activity -
Activity I : Total number of students in your class, n(S) =
Number of students from your class, wearing spectacles, n(A) = 
Probability of a randomly selected student wearing spectacles, P(A) =
Probability of a randomly selected student not wearing spectacles, P(B) = 
Solution
Activity I :
Total number of students in your class, n(S) = 40
Number of students from your class, wearing spectacles, n(A) = 6
Probability of a randomly selected student wearing spectacles, P(A) =`6/40`
`=3/20`
Probability of a randomly selected student not wearing spectacles, P(B) =`(40-6)/40`
`=34/40`
`=17/20`

Two coins are tossed simultaneously. Complete the following activity of writing of the sample space (S) and expected outcomes of the events :
1) Event A : to get at least one head.
2) Event B : to get no head.
Activity : If two coins are tossed simultaneously
∴ s = {`square , "HT","TH", square`}
1) Event A : at least getting one head.
∴ A = {`"HH" , square , "TH"`}
2) Event B : to get no head.
∴ B = {`square`}

Form a ‘Road Safety Committee’ of two, from 2 boys (B1, B2) and 2 girls (G1, G2).
Complete the following activity to write the sample space :
- Committee of 2 boys = `{square}`
- Committee of 2 girls = `{square}`
- Committee of one boy and one girl = `{B_1G_1, B_1G_2, square, square}`
- ∴ Sample space (S) = `{(B_1 B_2),(B_1 G_1), square, square, (B_2 G_2),(G_1 G_2)}`
Two coins are tossed simultaneously. Complete the following activity to write the sample space and the given events A and B in the set form:
Event A: To get at least one head.
Event B: To get no head.
Activity:
Two coins are tossed simultaneously.
∴ Sample space is
S = `{square, HT, TH, square}`
Event A: To get at least one head.
∴ A = `{square, HT, TH}`
Event B: To get no head.
∴ B = `{square}`
Assertion (A): A die is thrown once and the probability of getting an even number is `2/3`.
Reason (R): The sample space for even numbers on a die is {2, 4, 6}.
