Exercise 15.1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. In a cricket match, a batswoman hits a boundary 6 times out of 30 balls she plays. Find the probability that she did not hit a boundary.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total numbers of balls = 30
Numbers of boundary = 6
Numbers of time she didn’t hit boundary = 30 – 6 = 24
Probability she did not hit a boundary = 24\/30 = 4\/5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. 1500 families with 2 children were selected randomly, and the following data were recorded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of girls in a family<\/td>2<\/td>1<\/td>0<\/td><\/tr>
Number of families<\/td>           475         <\/td>          814        <\/td>         211       <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Compute the probability of a family, chosen at random, having
(i) 2 girls                (ii) 1 girl                   (iii) No girl
Also check whether the sum of these probabilities is 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total numbers of families = 1500<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i) Numbers of families having 2 girls = 475
Probability = Numbers of families having 2 girls\/Total numbers of families
                  = 475\/1500 = 19\/60
(ii) Numbers of families having 1 girls = 814
Probability = Numbers of families having 1 girls\/Total numbers of families
                  = 814\/1500 = 407\/750
 (iii) Numbers of families having 2 girls = 211
Probability = Numbers of families having 0 girls\/Total numbers of families
                  = 211\/1500
Sum of the probability = 19\/60 + 407\/750 + 211\/1500
                                     = (475 + 814 + 211)\/1500 = 1500\/1500 = 1
Yes, the sum of these probabilities is 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Three coins are tossed simultaneously 200 times with the following frequencies of different outcomes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outcome       <\/td>     3 heads     <\/td>     2 heads    <\/td>    1 head   <\/td>     No head     <\/td><\/tr>
Frequency<\/td>23<\/td>72<\/td>77<\/td>28<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If the three coins are simultaneously tossed again, compute the probability of 2 heads coming up.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of times 2 heads come up = 72
Total number of times the coins were tossed = 200
Required probability = 72\/200 = 9\/25

(i) Numbers of families earning \u20b910000 \u201313000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles = 29
Required probability = 29\/2400<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) Number of families earning \u20b916000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle = 579
Required probability = 579\/2400<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii) Number of families earning less than \u20b97000 per month and does not own any vehicle = 10 Required probability = 10\/2400 = 1\/240<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv) Number of families earning \u20b913000-16000 per month and owning more than 2 vehicles = 25
Required probability = 25\/2400 = 1\/96<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(v) Number of families owning not more than 1 vehicle = 10+160+0+305+1+535+2+469+1+579<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                         = 2062<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The distance (in km) of 40 engineers from their residence to their place of work were found as follows:
5     3     10     20     25     11     13     7     12     31     19     10     12     17     18      11     3      2      17      16     2     7     9     7     8      3     5     12     15     18     3     12     14     2     9     6     15     15     7     6     12<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total numbers of engineers = 40
(i) Numbers of engineers living less than 7 km from her place of work = 9
Required probability = 9\/40<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) Numbers of engineers living less than 7 km from her place of work = 40 – 9 = 31
Required probability = 31\/40<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A, B, O, O, AB, O, A, O, B, A, O, B, A, O, O, A, AB, O, A, A, O, O, AB, B, A, O, B, A, B, O.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total numbers of students = 30
Numbers of students having blood group AB = 3
Required probability = 3\/30 = 1\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 15 Probability Class 9 Maths NCERT Solutions<\/strong> is good way through which one can build their basic knowledge. The numerical measure of uncertainty of an activity is called probability. The words \u2018doubt\u2019, \u2018chances\u2019, \u2018most probably\u2019 etc., show uncertainty or probability of happening of an action or activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Probability \u2013 an Experimental Approach: A trial is an action which results in one or several outcomes. An event for an experiment is the collection of some outcomes of the experiment. Let n be the total number of trials. The empirical probability P(E) of an event E happening, is given by<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P(E) = Number of trials in which the event happened\/The total number of trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
