EXERCISE 9.1

Question 1.
An unbiased die is thrown. What is the probability of getting
(i) an even number or a multiple of 3.
(ii) a number between 3 and 6.
Solution:
(i) Probability of getting an even number $$\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$$
Probability of getting a multiple of 3 = $$\frac{2}{6}$$
Probability of getting an even multiple of 3 = $$\frac{1}{6}$$
Probability of getting an even number or

Question 2.
Two unbiased coins are tossed simultaneously find the probability of getting
Solution:
S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}
(i) probability of two heads = $$\frac{1}{4}$$
(ii) probability of one head = $$\frac{1}{2}$$
(iii) probability of at least one head = $$\frac{3}{4}$$
(iv) probability of at most one head = $$\frac{3}{4}$$

Question 3.
Find the probability that a leap year selected at random will contain 53 Sundays.
Solution:
S = {Sunday Monday, Monday Tuesday, Tuesday Wednesday, Wednesday Thursday, Thursday Friday, Friday Saturday, Saturday Sunday}
n (S) = 7; n (A) = 2; P(A) = $$\frac{2}{7}$$

Question 4.
What is the probability that a number selected from the numbers 1, 2, 3, 25 is a prime number when each of the given numbers is equally likely to be selected?
Solution:
A = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19,23}
P(A) = $$\frac{9}{25}$$
