CBSE Class 10 - Maths - Probability - 5 Questions That Your Teacher Can Ask To Confuse You

Probability

5 Questions Your Maths Teacher Can Ask To Confuse You


Q1: A fair coin is tossed twice, find the probability of getting different outcomes of this experiment. What will be the sum of all these probabilities?


Answer: A coin is tossed twice, the sample space (possible outcomes) will be:

S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}

Let A be the event getting two heads then

Number of Favourable Outcomes for event A 1
P(A) =   divided by  = divided by
Total Number of Outcomes 4


Let B be the event getting first head and then tail (HT) then


Number of Favourable Outcomes for event B 1
P(B) =   divided by  = divided by
Total Number of Outcomes 4

Let C be the event getting first tail then head (TH) then

Number of Favourable Outcomes for event C 1
P(C) =   divided by  = divided by
Total Number of Outcomes 4

Let D be the event getting two tails (TT) then

Number of Favourable Outcomes for event D 1
P(D) =   divided by  = divided by
Total Number of Outcomes 4

Sum of all probabilities P(A) + P(B) + P(C) + P(D) = 4/4 = 1


Q2: Find the probability that a leap year selected randomly will have 53 Sundays? 
(Note: If first two days lands on a Sunday in a leap year it would have 53 Sundays. How to prove?).
