A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. The probability of getting a queen of club or a

king of heart is:

We know that,

Total number of balls n(S) = 26

Number of vowels n(E) = 5

Hence, required probability = n(E)/n(S) = 5/26.

Total number of possible ways = 

9C5 = 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 55 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 126

Number of favorable cases = 

$$\begin{gathered} 4C2 x 5C3 + 4C3 x 5C2 + 4C4 x 5C1 \\ 4 x 32 x 1 x 5 x 4 x 33 x 2 x 1 + 4 x 3 x 23 x 2 x 1 x 5 x 4 2 x 1 + 1 x 5 \\ = 6 x 10 + 4 x 10 + 5 \\ = 60 + 40 + 5 \\ = 105 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, required probability = 105/126 = 5/6

Total number of possible ways = 9C3 = 84 ways

Required atleast one girl in the group of three = total possible ways - ways in which none is girl

None of the members in the group is girl = 6C3 = 20

Therefore, number of ways that at least one member is a girl in the group of three

= 84 - 20

= 64 ways.

Given total number of smileys = 5 + 6 + 3 = 14

Now, required probability = 

$$\begin{gathered} 5C214C2 + 3C214C2 \\ = 1091 + 391 \\ = 1391 \\ = 17 \end{gathered}$$

When two dice are thrown simultaneously, the probability is n(S) = 6x6 = 36

Required, the sum of the two numbers that turn up is less than 12

That can be done as n(E)

= { (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) }

= 35

Hence, required probability = n(E)/n(S) = 35/36.

Total coins 30

In that,

1 rupee coins 20

50 paise coins 10

Probability of total 1 rupee coins =  20C11

Probability that 11 coins are picked = 30C11

Required probability of a coin now picked from the box is 1 rupee = 20C11/30C11 = 2/3.

We know that, Total probability = 1

Given probability of black stones = 1/4

=> Probability of blue and white stones = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

But, given blue + white stones =  9 + 6 = 15

Hence,

3/4 ----- 15

 1   -----  ?

=> 15 x 4/3 = 20.

Hence, total number of stones in the box = 20.

The probability of an impossible event is 0.

The event is known ahead of time to be not possible, therefore by definition in mathematics, the probability is defined to be 0 which means it can never happen.

The probability of a certain event is 1.
