Also check whether the sum of these probabilities is 1.
3. Refer to Example 5, Section 14.4, Chapter 14. Find the probability that a student of the class was born in August.
4. Three coins are tossed simultaneously 200 times with the following frequencies of different outcomes:
If the three coins are simultaneously tossed again, compute the probability of 2 heads coming up.
5. An organisation selected 2400 families at random and surveyed them to determine a relationship between income level and the number of vehicles in a family. The information gathered is listed in the table below:
(i) earning тВ╣10000 тАУ тВ╣13000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles.
(ii) earning тВ╣16000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle. (iii) earning less than 7000 per month and does not own any vehicle.
(iv) earning тВ╣13000 тАУ тВ╣16000 per month and owning more than 2 vehicles.
(v) owning not more than 1 vehicle.
6. Refer to Table 14.7, Chapter 14.
(i) Find the probability that a student obtained less than 20% in the mathematics test.
(ii) Find the probability that a student obtained marks 60 or above.
7. To know the opinion of the students about the subject statistics, a survey of 200 students was conducted. The data is recorded in the following table
Find the probability that a student chosen at random
(i) likes statistics, (ii) does not like it.
8. Refer to Q.2, Exercise 14.2. What is the empirical probability that an engineer lives:
(i) less than 7 km from her place of work?
(ii) more than or equal to 7 km from her place of work?
(iii) within 1/2 km from her place of work?
9. Activity: Note the frequency of two-wheelers, three-wheelers and four-wheelers going past during a time interval, in front of your school gate. Find the probability that any one vehicle out of the total vehicles you have observed is a two-wheeler.
10. Activity: Ask all the students in your class to write a 3-digit number. Choose any student from the room at random. What is the probability that the number written by her/him is divisible by 3? Remember that a number is divisible by 3, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
11. Eleven bags of wheat flour, each marked 5 kg, actually contained the following weights of flour (in kg):
4.97 5.05 5.08 5.03 5.00 5.06 5.08 4.98 5.04 5.07 5.00
Find the probability that any of these bags chosen at random contains more than 5 kg of flour.
12. In Q.5, Exercise 14.2, you were asked to prepare a frequency distribution table, regarding the concentration of sulphur dioxide in the air in parts per million of a certain city for 30 days. Using this table, find the probability of the concentration of sulphur dioxide in the interval 0.12 – 0.16 on any of these days.
13. In Q.1, Exercise 14.2, you were asked to prepare a frequency distribution table regarding the blood groups of 30 students of a class. Use this table to determine the probability that a student of this class, selected at random, has blood group AB.
