Question 2:

There are 6 marbles in a box with numbers from 1 to 6 marked on each of them.

(i) What is the probability of drawing a marble with number 2?

(ii) What is the probability of drawing a marble with number 5?

Answer:

(i) Probability =https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/7/3/33/1812/Chapter%203_html_5ce1a95e.gif

P (appearance of 2) =https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/7/3/33/1812/Chapter%203_html_347f2945.gif

(ii) P (appearance of 5) = https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/7/3/33/1812/Chapter%203_html_347f2945.gif

Question 3:

A coin is flipped to decide which team starts the game. What is the probability that your team will start?

Answer:

A coin has two faces − Head and Tail. One team can opt either Head or Tail.

Probability =https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/7/3/33/1815/Chapter%203_html_5ce1a95e.gif

Probability (our team starts first) =https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/7/3/33/1815/Chapter%203_html_eeecab0.gif

Question 4:

A box contains pairs of socks of two colours (black and white). I have picked out a white sock. I pick out one more with my eyes closed. What is the probability that it will make a pair?

Answer:

It can be observed that while closing the eyes, one can draw either a black sock or a white sock. Therefore, there are two possible cases.

Probability =https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/7/3/33/1817/Chapter%203_html_5ce1a95e.gif

Probability (a pair of white socks will be formed) =https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/7/3/33/1817/Chapter%203_html_eeecab0.gif
