Question 25 Marks
A box contains cards bearing numbers 6 to 70. If one card is drawn at random from the box, find the probability that it bears:
  1. A one-digit number.
  2. A number divisible by 5.
  3. An odd number less than 30.
  4. A composite number between 50 and 70.
Answer
To find the number of cards in the bag, we use the general formula for an AP since the number on the cards are in AP.
Here, first term, a = 6, common difference = d = 1
Let n be the number of cards in the bag.
$a_n = a + (n - 1)d$
$\Rightarrow 70 = 6 + (n - 1)d$
$\Rightarrow 64 = n - 1$
$\Rightarrow n = 65$
So, there 65 cards in the bag.
  1. The one-digit number cards are 6, 7, 8 and 9.
So, there are 4 possible outcomes.

P(getting a one-digit numbered card)

$=\frac{4}{65}$

Question 65 Marks
Find the probability of getting the sum of two numbers, less than 3 or more than 11, when a pair of distinct dice is thrown together.
Answer
When two dice are thrown, the possible outcomes or Sample Space = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), ..., (1, 6), (2, 1),(2, 2), ..., (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), ..., (3, 6), (4, 1), ..., (4, 6), (5, 1) ..., (5, 6), (6, 1), ..., (6, 6)}
So there are total 36 outcomes which two dice are thrown.
According to question, we have to find the sum of numbers such that they are less than 3 and more than 11.
So, Let E denotes the number of outcomes for the required circumstance.
$\therefore\ \text{E}=\big\{{(1,1),(6,6)}\big\}$
Thus, number of outcomes, n(E) = 2
$\therefore\ $Required Probability
$=\frac{\text{n(E)}}{\text{S}}$
$=\frac{2}{36}$
$=\frac{1}{18}$
Hence, $\frac{1}{18}$ is the required probability.

Question 95 Marks
The king, the jack and the 10 of spades are lost from a pack of 52 cards and a card is drawn from the remaining cards after shuffling. Find the probability of getting a:
  1. Red card.
  2. Black jack.
  3. Red king.
  4. 10 of hearts.
Answer
$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}$
In a standard deck of 52 cards,
13 diamonds, 13 club, 13 hearts, 13 spade in which 12 face cards
The king, the jack and the 10 spades are lost from a pack of 52 cards
cards remaining are 52 - 1 - 1 - 10 = 40
  1. Red card
→ If the king and jack is from red card then number of red cards = 24

Fovorable outcome = 24

Total number of outcome = 40

Probability of a red card drawn is:

$\text{Probability}=\frac{24}{40}=\frac{3}{5}$

→ If the king and jack is not from red card then number of red cards = 26

Favorable oucome = 26

Total number of outcome = 40

Probability of red card drawn is:

$\text{Probability}=\frac{26}{40}=\frac{13}{20}$
  1. Black jack
→ If the jack is not from black card then number of black cards = 26

Favorable outcome = 26

Total number of outcome = 40

Probability of black jack drawn is:

$\text{Probability}=\frac{26}{40}=\frac{13}{20}$
  1. Red king
→ If the king is from red card then number of red cards = 25

Favorable outcome = 25

Total number of outcome = 40

Probability of red king drawn is:

$\text{Probability}=\frac{25}{40}=\frac{5}{8}$

→ If the king is not from red then number of red cards = 26

Favorable outcome = 26

Total number of outcome = 40

Probability of red king drawn is:

$\text{Probability}=\frac{26}{40}=\frac{13}{20}$
  1. 10 of hearts
→ If the king and jack is from hearts then number of hearts cards = 8

Favorable outcome = 8

Total number of outcome = 40

Probability of 10 of hearts drawn is:

$\text{Probability}=\frac{8}{40}=\frac{1}{5}$

→ If the king and jack is from hearts then number of hearts cards = 10

Fovorable outcome = 10

Total number of outcome = 40

Probability of 10 of hearts drawn is:

$\text{Probability}=\frac{10}{40}=\frac{1}{4}$

  1. Not divisible by 3.
  2. A prime number greater that 7.
  3. Not a perfect square number.
Answer
There 30 cards in the bag.
  1. The number divisible by 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, and 30.
So, the number not divisible by 3 are 30 - 10 = 20

Question 195 Marks
Cards bearing numbers 1, 3, 5, ..., 35 are kept in a bag. A card is drawn at random from the bag. Find the probability of getting a card bearing:
  1. A prime number less than 15.
  2. A number divisible by 3 and 5.
Answer
To find the number of cards in the bag, we use the general formula for an AP since the numbers on the cards are in AP.
Here, first term, a = 1, common difference = d = 2
Let n be number of cards in the bag.
$a_n = a + (n - 1)d$
$\Rightarrow 35 = 1 + (n - 1)(2)$
$\Rightarrow 34 = 2n - 2$
$\Rightarrow n = 18$
So, there 18 cards in the bag.
  1. The primes less than 15 are 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13.
So, there are 6 possible outcomes.

P(getting a prime less than 15)

$=\frac{5}{18}$
  1. The number divisible by 3 and 5 is 15 and 30.
P(getting a 15 or 30)

$=\frac{2}{18}$

$=\frac{1}{9}$

Question 205 Marks
A die is rolled twice. Find the probability that:
5 Will not come up either time.
Answer
Two dice are thrown simultaneouslyTotal number of outcomes = 66 = 36
Favourable cases are:
(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 6)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 6)
= 25
$\therefore\ $Probability that 5 will not come upon either die
$=\frac{25}{36}$

Question 215 Marks
A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting:
  1. A queen.
  2. A diamond.
  3. A king or an ace.
  4. A red ace.
Answer
Total number of cards = 52
  1. There are 4 queen cards in a pack of cards
$\therefore\ $Probability of getting a queen card

$=\frac{4}{52}$

$=\frac{1}{13}$
  1. There are 13 cards of diamond in a pack of cards
$\therefore\ $Probability of getting a diamond card

$=\frac{13}{52}$

$=\frac{1}{4}$
  1. In a pack of cards there are 4 kings and 4 aces Number of such cards = 4 + 4 = 8
Probability of getting eithera king or an ace

$=\frac{8}{52}$

$=\frac{2}{13}$
  1. There are two red aces in a pack of cards
$\therefore\ $Probability of getting a red ace

$=\frac{2}{52}$

$=\frac{1}{26}$

Question 225 Marks
A die is rolled twice. Find the probability that:5 will come up exactly one time.
Answer
Favourable cases are: (1, 5), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5), (5, 5), (6, 5), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 6)
= 11
$\therefore\ $Probability that 5 will come at least once
$=\frac{11}{36}$

Question 235 Marks
Peter throws two different dice together and finds the product of the two numbers obtained. Rina throws a die squares the number obtained. Who has the better chance to get the number 25?
Answer
Let us first write the all possible oucomes when Peter throws two different dice together.
(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)
$\therefore$ Total number of outcomes = 36
The favorable outcome for getting the product of numbers on the dice equal to 25 is (5, 5).
Favourable number of outcomes = 1
$\therefore$ Probability that Peter gets the product of numbers as 25
$=\frac{\text{Favourable number of outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$
$=\frac{1}{36}$
The out comes when Rina throws a die are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
$\therefore$ Total number of outcomes = 6
Rina throws a die and squares the number, so to get the number 25, the favourable outcomes is 5.
Favourable number of outcomes = 1
$\therefore$ Probability that Rina gets the square of numbers as 25
$=\frac{\text{Favourable number of outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$
$=\frac{1}{6}$
As, $\frac{1}{6}>\frac{1}{36},$ So Rina has better change to get the number 25.

Question 245 Marks
Cards marked with numbers 5 to 50 are placed in a box and mixed thoroughly. A card us drawn from the box at random. Find the probability that the number on the taken out card is:
  1. A prime number less than 10.
  2. A number which is a perfect square.
Answer
There are 46 cards in total.
  1. The primes less than 10 are 5 and 7.
P(getting a prime less than 10)

$=\frac{2}{46}$

$=\frac{1}{23}$
  1. The perfect squares are 9, 16, 25, 36 and 49.
So, there are 5 possible outcomes.

p(getting a perfect square)

$=\frac{5}{46}$
