1) A card is drawn from the set of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a queen card.

ANSWER- 1/13

2) The probability of winning the first prize in a lottery of a girl is 8/100. If the total
of 6000 tickets are sold, then how many tickets the girl purchased?

ANSWER- P (winning) = 0.08

No of tickets sold = 6000
No. of tickets bought = 6000×0.08=480

HENCE THE ANSWER WILL BE 480

Total number of socks = 3 + 5 + 4 = 12

Now two socks are picked up randomly
So total number of possible outcomes

Let A be the event that the selected socks are of the same color
Then the total number of possible outcomes for the event A is

Hence the required probability

= P(A)= 19/66

1) A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. What is the probability that it

is a face card (King, Queen, and Jack only)?

ANSWER- there are 52 cards, out of which there are 12 face cards.
P (getting a face card) = 12/52 = 3/13.
Answer = 3/13

• A stock of pens consists of 144 ball pens in which 20 pens are defective, and
others are good. A girl went to the shop to purchase a pen. The shopkeeper
randomly draws one pen and gives it to her. What is the probability that a girl
will buy the good pen?

For HER to buy a pen, it should be defective. Let the event of buying be B
No. of favourable outcomes = No. of defective pens =n(E)=20
Total No. of outcomes = total number of pens =n(S)=144

We know that, P(B) =(Total no.of possible outcomes)(No.of favorable outcomes)=n(S)n(E)

=14420 =365
