Application of Definite Integral
ACTIVITY-17
Cut a rectangle with a length of 6cm, breadth 2cm from the given card sheet.
Draw X-axis ,Y-axis at the centre of rectangle.
Demonstration:-
When we draw co-ordinate axes at the centre of the rectangle, then we can
identify equation of the sides of the rectangle as y= 1, y= -1 , x= 3, x= -3.
Fold the rectangle along the x-axis ,observe that rectangle is symmetrical about
X-axis.
Fold the rectangle along the Y-axis ,observe that rectangle is symmetrical about
Y-axis.
Therefore rectangle is divided into 4 equal parts.
Let us calculate part1 area.It is bounded by the line y=1 with x-axis,from x=0 to
x=3.
By using the concept of definite integral ,area of part1 = dx= 3 Squnits.

of a random experiment, the conditional probability of an event A, when B has
Procedure-
1. Take four square cardboards each of size 30cmx30cm and white papers paste
on them.
2. On the white papers draw 36 small squares of size 1 cm each.
3. Write pairs of all 36 possible outcomes of numbers in small squares.
4. Suppose a die is thrown twice and the sum of the numbers appearing is
observed to be 6. We have to find the conditional probability that the
number 4 has appeared at least once.
5. Let, A = Event that “the number 4 has appeared at least once”,
B=Event that “the sum of the numbers appearing is observed to be 6”.
I.e. we have to find P (A / B).
When we throw a die two times then the total outcomes in
sample space = 6 x 6 = 36
Shows the number 4 has appeared at least once
The sum of the numbers appearing is observed to be 6.

No.of outcomes with circles & violet colour boxes = 2
which are
Therefore the probability for “4 has appeared at least once and the sum of the
numbers appearing is observed to be 6”= =
Aim: -To verify the Bayes’ theorem on probability for given events , through an
example of drawing different coloured balls.
Materials required: - A piece of plywood ,boxes , white paper, pen / pencil, marbles/
plastic balls of different colours.
Formula to be used:-
Let {E1 , E2 , E3,…… En } be a partition of sample space S, and each of the events
E1 , E2 , E3,…… En has non zero probability of occurrence. Let A be any event associated
with S ,then,
Bayes’ theorem:
Procedure:-
1. We take a bag1 (E1) which contains 3 Red and 4 Black balls and bag2 (E2)
which contains 5 Red and 6 Black balls. One ball is drawn at random from
one of the bags and it is found to be red. Find the probability that it was
drawn from the bag2. .

BAG1 (E1) BAG2 (E2)
Then
P(E1) = P(E2) = ½
Let A be the event of drawing a red ball.
BAG1 (E1)
BAG2
P(A/E2) = P(DRAWING A RED BALL FROM BAG2) =
Now, the probability of drawing a ball from bag2, being given that it is red is
P(E2/A).
By Bayes’ theorem
P(E2/A) = = =
