CHAPTER 11 –Probability Date -: 22/02/2023
Q1.. An ordinary deck of cards contains 52 cards divided into four suits. The red suits are
diamonds and hearts and black suits are clubs and spades. The cards J, Q, and K are called
face cards. Suppose we pick one card from the deck at random. (a) What is the sample space
of the experiment?
(b) What is the event that the chosen card is a black face card?

Q2. Suppose that each child born is equally likely to be a boy or a girl. Consider a family with
exactly three children. (a) List the eight elements in the sample space whose outcomes are all
possible
genders of the three children. (b) Write each of the following events as a set and find its
probability :
(i) The event that exactly one child is a girl.
(ii) The event that at least two children are girls
(iii) The event that no child is a girl

Q3. (a) How many two-digit positive integers are multiples of 3?


(b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen two-digit positive integer is a
multiple of 3?

Q4. A typical PIN (personal identification number) is a sequence of any four symbols chosen
from the 26 letters in the alphabet and the ten digits. If all PINs are equally likely, what is the
probability that a randomly chosen PIN contains a repeated symbol?

Q5. Probability that a truck stopped at a roadblock will have faulty brakes or badly worn tires
are 0.23 and 0.24, respectively. Also, the probability is 0.38 that a truck stopped at the
roadblock will have faulty brakes and/or badly working tires. What is the probability that a
truck stopped at this roadblock will have faulty breaks as well as badly worn tires?

Q6. If a person visits his dentist, suppose the probability that he will have his teeth cleaned is
0.48, the probability that he will have a cavity filled is 0.25, the probability that he will have a
tooth extracted is 0.20, the probability that he will have a teeth cleaned and a cavity filled is
0.09, the probability that he will have his teeth cleaned and a tooth extracted is 0.12, the
probability that he will have a cavity filled and a tooth extracted is 0.07, and the probability
that he will have his teeth cleaned, a cavity filled, and a tooth extracted is 0.03. What is the
probability that a person visiting his dentist will have atleast one of these things done to him?

Q7 An urn contains twenty white slips of paper numbered from 1 through 20, ten red slips of
paper numbered from 1 through 10, forty yellow slips of paper numbered from 1 through 40,
and ten blue slips of paper numbered from 1 through 10. If these 80 slips of paper are
thoroughly shuffled so that each slip has the same probability of being drawn. Find the
probabilities of drawing a slip of paper that is
(a) blue or white
(b) numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5
2

(c) red or yellow and numbered 1, 2, 3 or 4


(d) numbered 5, 15, 25, or 35;
(e) white and numbered higher than 12 or yellow and numbered higher than 26.

Q8. Three digit numbers are formed using the digits 0, 2, 4, 6, 8. A number is chosen at
random out of these numbers. What is the probability that this number has the same digits?

Q9. Three squares of chess board are selected at random. Find The probability of getting 2
squares of one colour and other of a different colour.

Q10. One urn contains two black balls (labelled B1 and B2) and one white ball. A second urn
contains one black ball and two white balls (labelled W1 and W2). Suppose the following
experiment is performed. One of the two urns is chosen at random. Next a ball is randomly
chosen from the urn. Then a second ball is
chosen at random from the same urn without replacing the first ball.
(a) Write the sample space showing all possible outcomes
(b) What is the probability that two black balls are chosen?
(c) What is the probability that two balls of opposite colour are chosen?

Q11. A bag contains 8 red and 5 white balls. Three balls are drawn at random. Find the
Probability that
(a) All the three balls are white
(b) All the three balls are red
(c) One ball is red and two balls are white

Q12. If the letters of the word ASSASSINATION are arranged at random. Find the Probability
that
(a) Four S’s come consecutively in the word
(b) Two I’s and two N’s come together
(c) All A’s are not coming together
(d) No two A’s are coming together.

Q13. A card is drawn from a deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a king or a heart
or a red card.

Q14. Determine the probability p, for each of the following events.


(a) An odd number appears in a single toss of a fair die.
(b) At least one head appears in two tosses of a fair coin.
(c) A king, 9 of hearts, or 3 of spades appears in drawing a single card from a well shuffled
ordinary deck of 52 cards.
(d) The sum of 6 appears in a single toss of a pair of fair dice.
