A box contains 20 white, 30 black, 40 blue and 30 red balls. Compute the probability that one of the balls extracted at random from the box turns out to be white, black or red. ? |
A) 3/4
B) 3/5
C) 1/3
D) 2/3
Correct Answer : 2/3 Explanation : Probability that the extracted ball is blue = 40/120 => 1/3 |
If seven coins are tossed, what is the probability of obtaining at least 2 heads ? |
A) 12/16
B) 15/16
C) 15/18
D) 15/20
Correct Answer : 15/16 Explanation : Probability of getting no head =7C0 / 27 => 1/128 Probability of getting at least 2 heads= 1 - 1/128 - 7/128 => 120/128 =>15/16 |
If one rolls a fair-sided die twice, what is the probability that the die will land on the same number on both the occasions ? |
A) 1/12
B) 1/6
C) 1/24
D) 1/8
Correct Answer : 1/6 Explanation : n(S), Total ways = 6∗6= 36 Required probability = n(E)/n(S) = 6 / 36 = 1/6 |
A die is thrown once. Find the probability of getting an even number? |
A) 3/4
B) 1/4
C) 1/2
D) 3/2
Correct Answer : 1/2 Explanation : Sample space is, S : {1,2,3,4,5,6} =6 Favorable outcomes,even numbers E : { 2,4,6 } = 3 P(getting an event number)=n(E)/n(S)=3/6=1/2 |
A card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that it is not an ace? |
A) 1/13
B) 4/13
C) 3/13
D) 12/13
Correct Answer : 12/13 Explanation : total number of cards=52 The probability P(not getting an ace)=1 - P(getting an ace) |
A bag contains 24 eggs out of which 8 are rotten. The remaining eggs are not rotten eggs. The two eggs are selected at random. What is the probability that one of the eggs is rotten? |
A) 11/23 B) 17/23 C) 13/23 D) 19/23 Correct Answer : 13/23 Explanation : Number of total eggs = 24 Required probability = (16C1 * 8C1 + 16C0 * 8C2 ) / 24C2 |
From a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards, one card is drawn at random. Find the probability of getting a face card? |
A) 1/13 B) 2/13 C) 3/13 D) 4/13 Correct Answer : 3/13 Explanation : Sample space is, S : 52 cards |
What is the probability that a number selected from the numbers 1, 2, 3,…….,25 is a prime number, when each of the given numbers is equally likely to be selected? |
A) 8/25 B) 9/25 C) 1/25 D) 2/25 Correct Answer : 9/25 Explanation : Let S be the sample space. Let E be the event space= event that the number selected is a prime number = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23} Probability of occurrence of event, P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 9/25 |
The probability of Sita, Gita and Mita passing a test is 60 %, 40 % and 20 % respectively. What is the probability that at Sita and Gita will pass the test and Mita will not? |
A) 38.4%
B) 60%
C) 4.8%
D) 19.2%
Correct Answer : 19.2% Explanation : Probability of Mita failing = 100 - Probability of Mita passing The probability of Sita passing (60%), Gita passing (40%), and Mita failing (80%), combine with the formula |
An unbiased die is tossed.Find the probability of getting a multiple of 3? |
A) 1/2 B) 1/3
C) 1/4
D) 2/3 Correct Answer : 1/3 Explanation : Here we have sample space S={1,2,3,4,5,6} Let E be the event of getting a multiple of 3 then E={3,6} P(E) =n(E)/n(S) |
In a simultaneous throw of a pair of dice,find the probability of getting a total more than 7? |
A) 1/2 B) 5/12
C) 7/15
D) 3/12 Correct Answer : 5/12 Explanation : Here sample space n(S) =6*6 =36. |
A bag contains 6 white and 4 black balls .Two balls are drawn at random .Find the probability that they are of the same colour? |
A) 1/15 B) 2/15
C) 4/15
D) 7/15 Correct Answer : 7/15 Explanation : Let S be the sample space. Let E =event of getting both balls of the same colour. Required probability, P(E) =n(E)/n(S) =21/45 =7/15 |
Two dice are thrown together .What is the probability that the sum of the number on the two faces is divisible by 4 or 6? |
A) 7/18 B) 14/35
C) 8/18
D) 7/35 Correct Answer : 7/18 Explanation : n(S) = 6*6 =36 Hence P(E) =n(E)/n(S) |
Two cards are drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards What is the probability that either both are black or both are queens? |
A) 52/221 B) 55/190
C) 55/221
D) 19/221 Correct Answer : 55/221 Explanation : total number of ways for choosing 2 cards from 52 cards is Let A= event of getting both black cards We have 26 black cards from that we have to choose 2 cards. In 52 cards we have 4 queens from that we have to choose 2 cards. from both case, we have to choose 2 black queens. P(A) = n(A) /n(S) =325/1326 |
