Q3: A card is drawn for the deck of 52 cards. The event E so that card is not
the ace for the hearts. The number for the outcomes favourable to E is

Q4: Five cards are the ten, jack, queen, king, and an ace for the diamonds
are well-shuffled with their face downwards. One card is picked up at
random. When the queen is taken out and put aside, what is the
probability that the second card picked up is a queen?

Q5: A game consists of tossing the one rupee coin three times as well as
noting the outcome each time. Hanif wins when all the tosses give the same
result, that is, three heads or three tails, and loses otherwise. Calculate the
probability that Hanif will lose the game.

Q6: A bag consists of 5 red balls and some blue balls. When the
probability for drawing a blue ball is double for the red ball, determine the
number for the blue balls in the bag.

Q7: A die is numbered in a way that the faces show the numbers 1, 2, 2, 3, 3,
and 6. It is thrown two times, as well as the total score in two throws, is noted.
It gives a few values for the total score on the two throws: What is the
probability for the total score is

(i) even? (ii) 6? (iii) at least 6?

Q8: A box consists of 5 red marbles, 8 white marbles, and 4 green marbles.
One marble is taken out from the box randomly. What is the probability that
the marble removed will be red?
Q9: Two coins are tossed simultaneously. The student argues that there are
11 possibilities of outcomes for the sum for the numbers on two dice: 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. Thus, each of them has a probability of 1/11. Do
you agree with the argument?

Q10: A card is drawn at random in a well-shuffled pack of 52 playing cards.

Find out the probability of getting neither a red card nor a queen.

Q11: A box consists of cards numbered 6 to 50. A card is drawn randomly

from the box. The probability with the drawn card has a number that is a
complete square is.

Q12: Two dice are thrown together. Find out the probability of getting it.

(i) same number on both the dice. (ii) different numbers on both the dice.

Q13: Two dice are thrown together. What is the probability for the sum of
the numbers appearing on the dice is

(i) 7? (ii) a prime number? (iii) 1?

Q14: Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Find out the probability for the
product having the numbers on the top of the dice is

(i) 6 (ii)12 (iii) 7

Q15: Two dice are thrown simultaneously as well as the product for the
numbers appearing on them is noted. Find out if the probability for the
product is less than 9.

Q16: A coin is tossed continuously 3 times. List all the possible outcomes.
Find out the probability of: .

(i) all heads (ii) at least 2 heads (III) atmost 2 heads

Q17: Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Determine the probability of

having the difference for the numbers on the two dice is 2. The king, queen,
and jack having clubs are removed from a deck having 52 playing cards and
then well shuffled. Now one card is drawn randomly from the remaining
cards. Find out the probability for the card is

(i) a heart (ii) a king

18: The king, queen, and jack having clubs are removed from a deck of 52
playing cards and then well shuffled. Now one card is drawn randomly from
the remaining cards. What is the probability for the card is

(i) a club (ii) 10 of hearts

19: All the jacks, queens, and kings are removed from a deck having 52
playing cards. The remaining cards are well-shuffled, and then one card is
drawn randomly. Giving ace a value one similar value for the other cards,
find out the probability for the card having the value.

(i) 7 (ii) greater than 7 (iii) less than 7

20: An integer is chosen for 0 to 100. What is the probability for it is

(i) divisible by 7? (ii) not divisible by 7

21: Cards with numbers 2 to 101 are placed in a box. A card is selected
randomly. Find out the probability for the card has

(i) an even number (ii) a square number

22: Two customers, Shyam and Ekta, are going to a particular shop in the
same week (Tuesday through Saturday). Each is equally likely to go to the
shop on any day as on another day. What is the probability that both will go
to the shop on

(i) the same day? (ii) consecutive days? (iii) different days?

23: A box contains 12 balls, for which x are black. If one ball is taken out
randomly from the box, what is the probability that it will contain a black
ball? If 6 more black balls are added in the box, the probability of drawing
a black ball is now double what it was earlier. Find out x

24: A box consists of 90 discs that are numbered from 1 to 90. When one disc
is drawn randomly from the box, find out the probability for it bears

(i) a two-digit number (ii) a perfect square number

(iii) a number divisible by 5.

25: One card is removed from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find out the

(iv) the jack of hearts (v) a spade (vi) the queen of diamonds

26: A bag consists of 5 red balls and some blue balls. When the probability
for drawing a blue ball is double that of a red ball, determine the
number having blue balls in the bag.

Q27: A bag consists of 15 white and some black balls. When the probability
for drawing a black ball from the bag is thrice that of drawing a white ball,
find out the number of black balls in the bag.

Q28: The bag consists of cards numbered from 1 to 49. A card is removed
from the bag at random after mixing the cards thoroughly. Find out the
probability that the number on the drawn card is:

(i) an odd number (ii) a multiple of 5 (iii) a perfect square

(iv) an even prime number

random from the box. Find out the probability that the number on the
removed card is

(i) divisible by 2 or 3, (ii) a prime number.

30: The bag consists of 25 cards numbered from 1 to 25. A card is taken out
at random from the bag. Find out the probability that the number on the
