2. During summer vacation Mohini had gone to sea beach with her parents. There she noticed a
tall tower. She asked her father about the tower. Her father told that it is a Light House. She
wanted to know about its function. Her father told that it is a tower with a bright light at the top
located at an important or dangerous place regarding navigation. The two main purposes of
light house are to serve as a navigational aid and to warn boats of dangerous areas. It is like
traffic signal.

To test her knowledge, her father asked the following questions. If the focus of light emitted by
it can travel up to 70 km and the angle between two rays at the extreme ends is one sixth of a
complete angle, then –

PROBABILITY

1. Weather forecast/warnings are important because they are used to protect life, plan outer
activities, and also predict the conditions of the atmosphere for a given location and time.
Weather forecasts are made by collecting quantitative data about the current state of atmosphere
at a given place and using meteorology to project how the atmosphere will change. Forecasting
the weather at a point depends mainly upon changes in barometric pressure, wind speed, sky
condition or cloud cover, temperature at a place precipitation, humidity at a place etc.
Here is the weather forecast of Bhubaneswar Odisha from 27th Oct to 2nd Nov 2020. Based on
the information given below answer the following questions:

2. Mr. Alex bought a pack of playing cards for his children to learn to play cards so that they
can even play on line as well with their friends since they have no chances of moving out in the
pandemic. But the children knew nothing about playing cards or different kinds of suits in it.
So, Mr. Alex thought of explaining both his children the different suits as well as colours of
cards. So, he spread out all the cards in an organized manner and explained.
A standard deck of 52 playing cards consists of 4 suits i.e
CLUB SPADE HEART and DIAMOND

with 13 kinds in each suit.

In the picture above, the four rows are the four suits. The clubs are all in the first row, followed
by the spades, then the hearts, and last the diamonds. Among the 13 kinds, we find the numbers
from 2 to 10, and four are other kinds. The A stands for ace, the J for jack, the Q for queen, and
the K for king. The jack, queen, and king are often referred to as face cards.

Based on your understanding of the above case study, answer any four out of five
questions below:
[28

i) The cards were shuffled thoroughly and one card is drawn from the deck, what is the
probability of getting a king of red colour.

ii) Find the probability of getting a face card

a) b) c) d) 1

iii) If queen of diamond is drawn and put aside, what is the probability that the second card is a
queen
a) b) c) d)

iv) What is the probability of getting the six of clubs?

a) b) c) d) 1

getting a non-ace
a) b) c) d)
