IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR CLASS 9 MATHS

NAME OF CHAPTER PROBABILITY

Chapter – 15

Each question is of 3 marks

Q1. A coin is tossed 100 times with the following frequencies

Head: 45, tail:55 compute the probability for each event.

Ans.

number of heads
Probability of Heads =
total number of trials
45 9
= = .45
100 20
number of tails
Probability of Tails =
total number of trials
55 11
= = .55
100 20

Q2. The percentage of marks obtained by a student in monthly unit tests is given
below:

Unit testIIIIIIIVV
Percentage6971736876

Find the probability that the student gets more than 68% marks

Ans. total number of tests = 5

Number of tests he got more than 68% = 4

Probability he got more than 68% = 4/5 = .8

Q3 A die is thrown 200 times with the following frequency for the outcomes
1,2,3,4,5,6 as given below.

Out comes 123456

Frequency 304050203030

Find the probabilities of out come less than 5

Ans. Total number of throws = 200

Total numbers of throws less than 5 = 30+40+50+20 =140

Probability of less than 5 = 140/200 = .7

Q4. 1000 families with 2 children were selected randomly and the following data
were recorded:

Number of girls in a family: 012

Number of family: 200500300

If a family is chosen at random, compute the probability that it has

1. No girls2. At least one girl

Ans.Total numbers of families = 1000

Number of family having no girls = 200

2
Probability of family having no girls = 200/1000 =.2

Number of families having at least one girls = 500+300

Probability of family having at least one girl = 800/1000 = .8

Q5. To know the opinion of students about mathematics, a survey of 100


students was conducted. The data is recorded in the following table:

Opinion Like Dislike

Number of Students7030

Find the probability that a student chosen at random 1. like Mathematic 2.


Dislike mathematics.

Ans. Total number of students for survey = 100

Likes mathematics = 70

Probability to like mathematics = 70/100 = .7

Dislike mathematics= 30

Probability to dislike mathematics = 30/100 = .3

Q6. 8 bags of wheat flour, each marked 10 kg, actually contained the following
weights of flour(in Kg.)

10.01, 9.97, 10.03, 9.96, 10.04, 10.06, 10.02, 9.98 find the probability that any
of these bags chosen at random contain less than 10 kg of wheat.

Ans. Total Numbers of bags = 8

Number of bags contain less than 10 kg of wheat = 3

Probability of bags contain less than 10 kg = 3/8 = .375

Q7. A cycle manufacturing company kept a record of recycling of tyre maintains


the record of distance covered by it. Table show the record of 100 tyre

3
Distance in K.MLess than 2000 2000-5000 5000-7000 more than 7000

Frequency305010 10

What will be the probability to replace a tyre less than 5000 km.

Ans. Total numbers of record of tyre = 100

Covered less than 5000 = 30+50 = 80

Probability of tyre less than 5000 K.M = 80/100 = .8

Q8. In a match, a batsman hits a boundary 6 times out of 30 balls he plays. Find
the probability that he did not hit a boundary.

Ans. probability for a batsman hit a boundary = 6/30 = 1/5

Probability for a batsman did not hit a boundary = 1-1/5 = 4/5

Q9. On one page of a telephone directory, there were 210 telephone numbers.
The frequency distribution of their unit place is given as follows

Digits 0 123456789

Frequency1020304010203053015

With out looking at the page, the pencil is placed on one of these number the
number is chosen at random what is the probability that the digit in its unit place
is multiple of 3

4
Ans.

total numbers of telephone on a page = 210

Occurrence of unit place number multiple of 3 = 3,6,9 = 40+30+15 = 85

Probability of unit place number multiple of 3 = 85/210 = 17/42

Q10. The record of a weather station shows that out of the past 200 consecutive
days. Its weather forecasts were correct 180 times.

What is the probability that on a given day it was correct and also find the
probability on a given day it was not correct.

Ans. Number of record = 200

Correct forecasts = 180

Probability of correct forecasts = 180/200 = .9

Probability of not correct forecasts = 1-.9 = 0.1
