Probability

NCERT Exercise Exercise 15.1

To know the opinion of the students about the subject statistics, a survey of 200 students was conducted. The data is recorded in the following table.

Opinion Number of students
like 135
dislike 65

Find the probability that a student chosen at random
(i) likes statistics, (ii) does not like it.

Total numbers of students = 135 + 65 = 200

(i) Numbers of students who like statistics = 135
Required probability = 135/200 = 27/40

(ii) Numbers of students who does not like statistics = 65
Required probability = 65/200 = 13/40
