Question 1.
(i) If \(\frac{2}{11} \) is the probability of an event A, then what is the probability of the event ‘not A’? (MARCH-2011)
(ii) If P(A) = \(\frac{3}{5} \) and P(B) = \(\frac{1}{5} \) , then find P(A∪B), if A and B are mutually exclusive events.
(iii) A coin is tossed twice. What is the probability that atleast one tail occurs?
Answer:

Question 2.
A bag contains 9 balls of which 4 are red, 3 are blue and 2 are yellow. The balls are similar in shape and size. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. Calculate the probability that the ball drawn will be (MARCH-2013)
(i) Red.
(ii) Not yellow.
(iii) Either red or yellow.
Answer:
(i) P (Red) = \(\frac{4}{9} \)
(ii) P(No yellow) \(\frac{7}{9} \)
(iii) P(Either red or yellow) = \(\frac{4+2}{9}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}\)

Question 3.

(i) Find P(A∩B)
(ii) Find P(A’)
Answer:

Question 4.
(i) The probability of a sure event is ……… (IMP-2014)
(ii) Two dice are thrown together. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers on the two faces is 8?
Answer:
(i) 1
(ii) A = {(2,6),(3,5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2)}
\(P(A)=\frac{5}{36}\)

Question 5.
If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.42, P(B) = 0.48 andP(yinS) = 0.16 then, find: (IMP-2014)
(i) P(not A)
(ii) P(not B)
(iii) P(A∪B)
Answer:
(i) P(not A) = P(A’) = 1-P(A) = 1-0.42=0.58
(ii) P(not B) = P(B’) -1 -P(B) = 1 -0.48=0.52
(iii) P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B)-P(A∩B)
= 0.42 + 0.48-0.16 = 0.74
