AP State Syllabus 9th Class Maths 14th Lesson Important Questions and Answers Probability
Question 1.
Find out the probability of picking a number which is a prime number randomly from 20 to 30 (Including) natural numbers.
Solution:
No. of prime numbers between 20 and 30 = 23, 29
Total numbers = 10
Probability = \(\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}\)
Question 2.
By picking a natural number randomly upto 100, find the probability of the number being a perfect cube.
Solution:
Probability of the number being a perfeet cube by picking a natural number randomly upto 100.
⇒ P(E) = \(\frac{\text { favourable outcomes }}{\text { total outcomes }}\)
= \(\frac{4}{100}=\frac{1}{25}\)
Question 3.
If a dice with six faced rolled randomly find.
i) The probability of getting an even number on the top face.
ii) The probability of getting a prime number on the top face.
iii) The probability of getting 7 on the top face
iv) The probability of getting a number on the top face which have the sum of the factors of that number is twice to that number. (Which is called as a perfect number)
Solution:
When die was rolled possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Total outcomes = 6
i) Even numbers in outcomes = 2, 4, 6 = 3
∴ Required probability = \(\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}\)
ii) Prime numbers = 1, 2, 3, 5 = 4
∴ Required probability = \(\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}\)
iii) Getting ‘7’ on top = 0
∴ This is impossible event.
iv) Sum of the factors of that number is twice to that numbers = 6
∴ Required probability = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
Question 4.
A letter is chosen from English alphabet. Find the probability of the letter choosen is
i) a consonant
ii) both consonant and vowel
iii) a letter comes before M
iv) not a vowel
Solution:
Favourable outcomes = 26
i) Vowels
Favourable outcomes = 21
∴ Probability = \(\frac{21}{26}\)
ii) Vowel and Consonants Favourable outcomes = 0
∴ Probability = \(\frac{0}{26}\) = 0
iii) A letter comes before M Favourable outcomes =12
∴ Probability = \(\frac{12}{26}=\frac{6}{13}\)
iv) Not a vowel Favourable outcomes = 21
∴ Probability = \(\frac{21}{26}\)
