Data Handling Class 8 Worksheet Question 4.
A die is thrown once. Find the probability of getting a number greater than 4.
Solution:
Number greater than 4 = 5, 6
n(E) = 2
Sample space n(S) = 6
Probability of getting a number greater than 4
= \(\frac { n(E) }{ n(S}\) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 6 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\)
Where re(E): Number of favourable outcomes
n(S): Total number of outcomes

Data Handling Class 8 Extra Questions With Answers Question 5.
A class consists of 21 boys and 9 girls. A student is to be selected for social work. Find the probability that
(i) a girl is selected
(ii) a boy is selected
Solution:
Sample space n(S) = 21 + 9 = 30
Number of girls n(E) = 9
(i) Probability of selecting a girl
= \(\frac { n(E) }{ n(S}\) = \(\frac { 9 }{ 30 }\) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 10 }\)
(ii) Probability of selecting a boy
= \(\frac { n(E) }{ n(S}\) = \(\frac { 21 }{ 30 }\) = \(\frac { 7 }{ 10 }\)

Question 14.
What is the probability of getting a marble which is not red from a bag containing 3 black, 8 yellow, 2 red and 5 white marbles?
Solution:
Total number of balls = 3 black + 8 yellow + 2 red + 5 white = 18
n( S) = 18
Number of the balls which are not red = 3 + 8 + 5 = 16
n(E) = 16
Probability = \(\frac { n(E) }{ n(S) }\) = \(\frac { 16 }{ 18 }\) = \(\frac { 8 }{ 9 }\)

Question 15.
From a well shuffled deck of 52 playing cards, a card is selected at random. Find the probability of getting
(i) a black card
(ii) a black king
(iii) an ace
(iv) a card of diamond
Solution:
Here, n(S) = 52
(i) Total number of black card = 26
n(E) = 26
Probability of getting a black card = \(\frac { n(E) }{ n(S) }\) = \(\frac { 26 }{ 52 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)
(ii) Number of black king = 2
n(E) = 2
Probability of getting a black king = \(\frac { n(E) }{ n(S) }\) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 52 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 26 }\)
(iii) Number of aces = 4
n(E) = 4
Probability of getting an ace = \(\frac { n(E) }{ n(S) }\) = \(\frac { 4 }{ 52 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 13 }\)
(iv) Number of diamond cards = 13
n(E) = 13
Probability of getting a card of diamond = \(\frac { n(E) }{ n(S) }\) = \(\frac { 13 }{ 52 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\)
