A school has five houses A, B, C, D and E. A class has 23 students, 4 from house A, 8 from house B, 5 from house C, 2 from house D and rest from house E. A single student is selected
question : 9. A school has five houses A, B, C, D and E. A class has 23 students, 4 from house A, 8 from house B, 5 from house C, 2 from house D and rest from house E. A single student is selected at random to be the class monitor. The probability that the selected student is not from A, B and C is :
explanation of correct answer :
Total number of students (Total outcomes) = 23
Students from A house = 4
Students from B house = 8
Students from C house = 5
Students from D house = 2
Students from E house = 23 – (4+8+5+2) = 4
Students must not be selected from A , B , C means the student from D , E
Total D and E students (Favourable outcomes) = 2 + 4 = 6
as we know the formula of Probability –
Probability = Favourable outcomes/ Total outcomes
Probability that the selected student is not from A, B and C means the Probability that the selected student is from D and E
Probability = Favourable outcomes/ Total outcomes
Probability = 6/23
means the Probability that the selected student is not from A, B and C is 6/23. that is why we have marked b option as our correct answer.
question : 1. An event is very unlikely to happen. Its probability is closest to:
Question : 3. If P(A) denotes the probability of an event then :
