### Plus One Maths Probability 3 Marks Important Questions

Question 1.
(i) If $$\frac{2}{11}$$ is the probability of an event A, then what is the probability of the event ‘not A’? (MARCH-2011)
(ii) If P(A) = $$\frac{3}{5}$$ and P(B) = $$\frac{1}{5}$$ , then find P(A∪B), if A and B are mutually exclusive events.
(iii) A coin is tossed twice. What is the probability that atleast one tail occurs?

Question 2.
A bag contains 9 balls of which 4 are red, 3 are blue and 2 are yellow. The balls are similar in shape and size. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. Calculate the probability that the ball drawn will be (MARCH-2013)
(i) Red.
(ii) Not yellow.
(iii) Either red or yellow.
(i) P (Red) = $$\frac{4}{9}$$
(ii) P(No yellow) $$\frac{7}{9}$$
(iii) P(Either red or yellow) = $$\frac{4+2}{9}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}$$

(ii) Find P(A’)

Question 4.
(i) The probability of a sure event is ……… (IMP-2014)
(ii) Two dice are thrown together. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers on the two faces is 8?
(i) 1
(ii) A = {(2,6),(3,5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2)}
$$P(A)=\frac{5}{36}$$

Question 5.
If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.42, P(B) = 0.48 andP(yinS) = 0.16 then, find: (IMP-2014)
(i) P(not A)
(ii) P(not B)
(iii) P(A∪B)
(i) P(not A) = P(A’) = 1-P(A) = 1-0.42=0.58
(ii) P(not B) = P(B’) -1 -P(B) = 1 -0.48=0.52
(iii) P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B)-P(A∩B)
= 0.42 + 0.48-0.16 = 0.74
