Solution:-

False.

If a pair of coins is tossed, then the number of outcomes are 4, i.e. HH, TT, TH and HT.

Q73Written answer

On throwing a dice once, the probability of occurrence of an even number is ½.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

True.

The even numbers in a dice are 2, 4 and 6.

Probability = total number of even numbers/ Total numbers

= 3/6 … [divide numerator and denominator by 3]

= ½

Q74Written answer

On throwing a dice once, the probability of occurrence of a composite number is ½.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

The composite numbers in a dice are 4 and 6.

Probability = total number of composite numbers/ Total numbers

= 2/6 … [divide numerator and denominator by 2]

= 1/3

Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

It is not possible to declare, from the given pie chart that the production of Manganese is least in state B. Because, we do not know the central angle of the sectors.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

The probability of getting the number 5 is 1/6.

Q78Written answer

The probability of getting a prime number is the same as that of a composite number in a throw of a dice.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

The composite numbers in a dice are 4 and 6.

Probability = total number of composite numbers/ Total numbers

= 2/6 … [divide numerator and denominator by 2]

= 1/3

The prime numbers in a dice are 2, 3 and 5.

Probability = total number of prime numbers/ Total numbers

= 3/6 … [divide numerator and denominator by 3]

= ½

Q79Written answer

In a throw of a dice, the probability of getting an even number is the same as that of getting an odd number.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

True.

The even numbers in a dice are 2, 4 and 6.

Probability = total number of even numbers/ Total numbers

= 3/6 … [divide numerator and denominator by 3]

= ½

The odd numbers in a dice are 1, 3 and 5.

Probability = total number of odd numbers/ Total numbers

= 3/6 … [divide numerator and denominator by 3]

= ½

Q80Written answer

To verify Pythagoras theorem is a random experiment.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

We know the result i.e. only one result, before going to verify the Pythagoras theorem. So, it is not a random experiment.
