4 Answers ID : in-0-probability [] () 0.25 Step We are looking f or the probability that he will come 2nd or better in the race This is the probability that he will either win the race or be 2nd Since he can be f irst or second, the probabilities can be added The probability that he will be f irst is 0.5 The probability that he will be in second place is 0. Adding them, we get = 0.25

5 (2) 27 ID : in-0-probability [5] 323 Step This is a little complicated, so f ollow caref ully For making the explanation and the equations simpler, think of the number on the pieces of paper in the f orm of (2n+) Here, we can see f rom the equation 2n+ = 9, so n=9 The probability of getting 3 numbers in an A.P by selecting 3 numbers randomly between and 9 is the ratio of - Number of ways we can get an A.P f rom 3 random numbers between to 9, and - Number of ways to select 3 random numbers between to 9 Step Let's look at the second part f irst. Three tickets can be drawn f rom (2n+) numbers is in [(2 x n) + ] C 3 ways i.e. Number of ways 3 tickets can be drawn = (2n+)(2n)(2n-) 3x2x Simplif ying this, we get the number of ways to draw 3 numbers between and 9 = n(n 2 -) 3 Here n = 9, so we can simplif y it as 969 Step 5 Now f or the ways we can get an A.P f rom 3 numbers bwetween Arithmetic Progressions of 3 numbers would be a sequence of 3 numbers that are separated by a common interval e.g.,2,3 or 3,5,7 etc. They are in the f orm (a, a+d, a + 2d), where a is an integer f rom to (9-2), and d is another integer So it's helpf ul to think of the solution in terms of this interval. So we'll think of all the sequences that have an interval, then sequences with interval 2, and so on Step 6 So what are the possible sequences with interval. They are (,2,3) (2,3,)... (2n-,2n,2n+) T here are theref ore 2n- such possible sequences Step 7 Similarly, let's look at A.P with interval 2 between the terms. They are (,3,5) (2,,6)

6 ...<2n-3,2n-,2n+> T here are 2n-3 such possible sequences ID : in-0-probability [6] Step 8 We can generalize this to say that the number of such sequences with interval 'd' is (2n- (2d-)) Obviously the largest possible integer is d=n, with just one sequence (, n+, 2n+) Step 9 So the total number of such sequences is (2n-) + (2n-3) + (2n-5) This is itself an AP with n terms and d=2 The sum of this sequence is n 2 [2 + (n-)2] Simplif ying, we get n 2 Here n=9, so this is 8 Step 0 So the probability is (3) 20 Step We have 5 hats and 5 students. Let's f irst see in how many dif f erent ways can the hats be distributed among the students We know that 5 objects can be distributed in 5! = 5 x x...x = 20 ways Out of these 20 ways, there is only one distribution where each student got his or her own hat Step So the probability of each student getting his or her own hat = 20

7 () 26 ID : in-0-probability [7] 27 Step There are children. They each have some f avourite f lavor f rom among mango, banana and grape. Each child's f avourite could be any one of the 3 choices The possible combinations of f lavors they like = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 8 Let's now consider the options where even one child, no matter what his or her f avourite f lavour is, does not get his or her choice Now there are 3 f lavors in each choice, and children. The only way f or a child not to get his or her f avourite is if all children choose the same f lavor. This is because if even one child chooses some other f lavor f rom the rest, the other 3 children could get their f avourite, no matter what they choose The cases where some child might not get his or her choice is theref ore when they all choose the same f lavor Since there are 3 f lavors, this can happen in 3 cases 3 So the probability that a child does not get his or her f lavor = 8 Step Theref ore the probability that all children get their choice = = (5) 8 05 Step There are a total of = 5 balls in the bag The number of ways to pick out 2 balls f rom a set of 5 balls is 5 C2 = 5 x (5-)/2 = 05 The number of ways to pick a green ball and a blue ball is obtained by multiplying the number of the balls of each of these colors. This is 3 x 6 = 8 Step The probability that he gets a green ball and a blue ball is theref ore 8 05

8 (6) 256 ID : in-0-probability [8] Step There are 2s in a deck of cards. At this point there are also cards in the deck There are 9s in a deck of cards. Now there are 5 cards remaining in the deck There are Queens in a deck of cards. Now there are 50 cards remaining in the deck Step There are s in a deck of cards. Now there are 9 cards remaining in the deck Step 5 You can select cards without replacement f rom a deck in C ways = x 5 x 50 x 9 x 3 x 2 x Step 6 x x x So the answer is x 5 x 50 x 9 x 3 x 2 x Step 7 Simplif ying we get (7) 3

9 (8) 9220 ID : in-0-probability [9] 0000 Step First we need to f ind the total number of people among whom the poll was taken. We add the number of people in the various sets = To f ind the probability that the the random person chosen has a salary of more than Rs.75000, we need to add the number of people who have salaries greater than this number. This is = Step So, 9220 people out of a total of 0000 earn an annual salary greater than Rs The probability that the randomly chosen person has a salary greater than Rs = (9) c Step First we need to f ind the total number of tyres that are given here. We add the number of tyres = To f ind the probability that the tyre Shyam purchased would last more than 0000 kilometers, we need to add the number of tyres that lasted more than 0000 kilometers. This is = 780. Step The probability that the tyre lasts more than 0000 km =

10 (0) Step ID : in-0-probability [0] There are cards in a deck, with of each suits (diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades Each of the cards of a suits are the numbers to 9, then f ace cards, including the ace In the numbers to 9, only 2,3,5,7 are primes. So f our primes per suit, which gives a total of 6 prime cards Step So there are 6 possible prime cards out of the total. The probability that we pick a prime card is theref ore 6, which can be reduced to () 63 6 Step The number of possible outcomes when 6 coins are tossed is 2 6 To f ind out the probability of getting at least one heads, let's look at the outcomes where this is not true i.e. the number of outcomes where you do not have even one heads Obviously, this is the case where you have all the tosses giving tails There is only one case where you can get all tails So the probability of getting at least one heads = - 6 = 63 6

11 (2) Step ID : in-0-probability [] The card she drew is one of the f ollowing quit - spade, diamond, club, or heart, with all of them being equally likely (as there are the same number of each f ace) The probability that she drew a heart is theref ore,. There are dif f erent cards of each suit, so f our of each f ace in the deck of. So probability that she drew a 5 is =. We need to add these two probabilities since the question asked f or the probability of getting a heart OR a 5. This gives us + = 7. Step But - there is another thing to keep track of. In our list, we've counted the 5 of heart twice, - once as a heart in the f irst component of the sum above, - and second time as a 5 in the second component above. We should only count it once, so we remove one of the times we count it. The probability of a specif ic card being chosen is, so we subtract that to get the result. Step 5 The probability that she drew a heart or a 5 = 7 - =.

12 () ID : in-0-probability [2] d. 7 Step There are 366 days in a leap year If we divide 366 by 7 (since there are seven days in a week), we will get an answer of, with a remainder of 2 This means that a leap year will have Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, T hursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Apart f rom these there will be two other days. This means that there will be two weekdays that occur 53 times. T he two days could be (Sunday, Monday), (Monday, T uesday), (T uesday, Wednesday), (Wednesday, T hursday), (T hursday, Friday), (Friday, Saturday), or (Saturday, Sunday) - a total of seven combinations Step Out of these seven combinations, only one of them has Sunday but no Monday Step 5 So the probability of either of those two days being a Sunday is 7 () 7 32

13 (5) a ID : in-0-probability [] Step The two dice that are rolled can show any of these values Dice :, 2, 3,, 5, 6 Dice 2 :, 2, 3,, 5, 6 So we can get a total of 36 combinations between them (6 x 6) If we take one value f rom the list of possible values f rom each Dice, we get numbers ranging f rom 2 (when both Dice show ) to 2 (when both dice show 6). Let's enumerate the prime numbers between 2 and 2. They are 2, 3, 5, 7 and We need to see in how many ways we can get each of these values Let's put the value rolled by the dice as (x,y), where x is the value rolled by Dice, and y the value rolled by Dice 2-2: The only way to get this is when we roll (,). possibility - 3: We can get this by (,2) or (2,). 2 possibilities. - 5: We can get this by (2,3), (3,2), (,) or (,). possibilities. - 7: We can get this by (,6), (2,5), (3,), (,3), (5,2), (6,). 6 possibilities. - : We can get this by (5,6), or (6,5). 2 Possibilities This gives us a total of = 5 possible ways to get a prime number So the probability of getting the two numbers add up to a prime is 5 36
