Total number of tosses = 500
Number of heads = 285
Number of tails = 215
(i) Let E be the event of getting a head.
P(getting a head) = P (E) = $\frac{Number of heads coming up}{Total number of trials} = \frac{285}{500} = 0.57$

(ii) Let F be the event of getting a tail.
P(getting a tail) = P (F) = $\frac{Number of tails coming up}{Total number of trials} = \frac{215}{500} = 0.43$

Answer:

_Total number of tosses = 400
Number of times 2 heads appear = 112
Number of times 1 head appears = 160
Number of times 0 head appears = 128

In a random toss of two coins, let E₁, E₂, E₃ be the events of getting 2 heads, 1 head and 0 head, respectively. Then,

(i) P(getting 2 heads) = P(E₁) =

\frac{Number of times 2 heads appear}{Total number of trials} = \frac{112}{400} = 0.28

(ii) P( getting 1 head) = P(E₂) =

\frac{Number of times 1 head appears}{Total number of trials} = \frac{160}{400} = 0.4

(iii) P( getting 0 head) = P(E₃) =

\frac{Number of times 0 head appears}{Total number of trials} = \frac{128}{400} = 0.32

Remark: Clearly, when two coins are tossed, the only possible outcomes are E₁, E₂ and E₃ and P(E₁) + P(E₂) + P(E₃) = (0.28 + 0.4 + 0.32) = 1

Number of families surveyed = 2400

(i) Number of families earning ₹ 25000 – ₹ 30000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles = 27

∴ P(Family chosen is earning ₹ 25000 – ₹ 30000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles)

= Number of families earning ₹ 25000 – ₹ 30000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles / Number of families surveyed

$= \frac{27}{2400} = \frac{9}{800}$
(ii) Number of families earning ₹ 40000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle = 579

∴ P(Family chosen is earning ₹ 40000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle)

= Number of families earning ₹ 40000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle / Number of families surveyed

$= \frac{579}{2400} = \frac{193}{800}$
(iii) Number of families earning less than ₹ 25000 per month and not owning any vehicle = 10

\frac{80}{360} = \frac{2}{9}

(iii) Let E₃be the event that the selected patient is 10 years or more but less than 40 years.
Number of patients whose age is 10 years or more but less than 40 years = 90 + 50 + 60 = 200

∴ P(Patient's age is 10 years or more but less than 40 years) = P(E₃) =

\frac{200}{360} = \frac{5}{9}

(iv) Number of patients whose age is 10 years or more = 90 + 50 + 60 + 80 + 50 + 30 = 360

Let E₄ be the event that the selected patient's age is 10 years or more. Then
∴ P(patient's age is 10 years or more) = P(E₄) =

\frac{360}{360} = 1

(v) Number of patients whose age is less than 10 years = 0

Let E₅ be the event that the selected patient's age is less than 0.
