Hello students, As a Tutor, I am going to discuss about Probability and Statistics. In mathematics, an average of a statistical data is value representation of entire data. Statistics deals with the collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data. In other sense, statistics means data, the word data means information or set of given set in numerical figures in which we study mean, median and mode that are calculated on the set of data.
Some limitation of statistics
1. Statistics deals with group and does not deal with individuals.
2. Statistical laws are not precise. They are accurate on average only.
Now, we will discuss about Probability. Probability shows the uncertainty of occurrence of an event. Probability is used in many fields like :- commerce, science, whether forecasting etc.
Rule for probability: in mathematically, we have
Probability of an event A i.e. P(A) =a/b
Where a =number of favorable to the occurrence of A
b = total number of possible sample and
a-b = number of unfavorable to the occurrence of A.
We also notice that
P(A) =P( inverse of A) =(a/b)+(a-b)/a = 1 i.e. P(A) +P(not A) =1
Now, we take some examples for solving problem on probability.
Example 1:- a die is thrown once. Describe the sample space (s).1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
1. What is the probability that the number ‘1’ turns up?
2. What is the probability an odd number turns up?
Solution (1) :- the sample space : 1,2,3,4,5, 6
Since there are 6 equal parts likely number of probability of getting 1 is:
P(1) = number of events/total number of samples =1/6
Solution (2) :- let A=(an odd number) =1,3,5 so x(A) = 3
Probability of getting odd numbers= x(A)/x(s) =3/6 =1/6
In next post we will talk on grade V. For more information on biology syllabus for class 10 ICSE, you can visit our website
