PROBABILITY MCQs
:
D
When you flip a coin, there are two outcomes either head or tail. So the probability of occurrence of the head is the same as the probability of occurrence of the tail that is 12.
:
B
A coin was tossed 1500 times but 100 times result was not counted.
So, the total number of times result counted = 1400
Number of times head comes = 700
Number of times tail comes = 1400 - 700 = 700
Probability of occurrence of tail =Number of times tail comesTotal number of times result counted
Probability of occurrence of tail =7001400
Probability of occurrence of tail = 0.5
:
C and D
Total frequency of occurrence of 2, 3, 5 and 6 = 60.
Frequency of occurrence of 1 or 4 = 80 - 60 = 20.
Probability of occurrence of 1 or 4 = Frequency of occurrence of 1 or 4Total number of times die is thrown
So, probability of occurrence of 1 or 4 = 2080 = 14 = 0.25

A
Since the goldsmith can choose amongst A, B and C, he has 3 possibilities of which the favorable outcome is choosing C. Therefore, probability that he chooses C is 13.

Out of the givne 5 bags, bag 2 and bag 4 have more than 18 chocolates.
Probability(E) =number of favorable eventstotal number of events
∴ Probablity of a bag containing more than 18 chocolates =number of bags containing more than 18 chocolatestotal number of bags=25=0.4

B
Total number of alphabets in the word MISSIMMIPPI = 11
Number of times M comes = 3
Probability of picking M = Number of times M comesTotal number of alphabets in the word MISSIMMIPPI
So, probability of its occurrence will be 311.
:
B
A coin is tossed 100 times and consider the case when you only get tail 100 times and no head. So, in all the trials you will have a tail.
Probability of getting a tail = Number of times tails appearNumber of times a coin is tossed
Probability of getting a tail = 100100=1
:
B
Number of days in a year = 365
Therefore, total possible outcomes = 365
If they have birthday on same day, then number of favourable outcomes =1
Therefore, required probability =1365
:
A
Number of all possible outcomes = (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6), (5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6), (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5) and (6,6).
The number of all possible outcomes = 36.
There is only one case (5,5) when 5 comes up both the times.
Probability that 5 will come up both the times=Number of times 5 comes up both the timesNumber of all possible outcomes
∴ P (5 will come up both the times) =136
