Question 1.
In a cricket match, a batswoman hits a boundary 6 times out of 30 balls she plays. Find the probability that she did not hit a boundary.
Answer:
The batswoman played 30 balls. Hence, the total number of trials = 30. If the event that she did not hit a boundary is denoted by A, then. the number of trials when event A occured is 30 – 6 = 24.
∴ p(A) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event A occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{24}{30}\)
= \(\frac{4}{5}\)
Thus, the probability that she did not hit a boundary is \(\frac{4}{5}\).

Question 2.
1500 families with 2 children were selected randomly, and the following data were s recorded:
PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Probability Ex 15.1 1
Compute the probability of a family, chosen at random, having
(i) 2 girls
(ii) 1 girl
(iii) No girl. Also check whether the sum of these probabilities is 1.
Answer:
Here, the total number of families is 1500.
Hence, the total number of trials = 1500

(i) Let event A denote the event that the family chosen at random is having 2 girls.
Then, the number of trials when event A occured is 475.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event A occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{475}{1500}\)
= \(\frac{19}{60}\)

(ii) Let event B denote the event that the family chosen at random is having 1 girl.
Then, the number of trials when event B occured is 814.
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event B occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{814}{1500}\)
= \(\frac{407}{750}\)

(iii) Let event C denote the event that the family chosen at random Is having no girl.
Then, the number of trials when event C occured is 211.
∴ p(C) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event } \mathrm{C} \text { occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{211}{1500}\)
Now,
P(A) + P(B) + P(C) = \(\frac{19}{60}+\frac{407}{750}+\frac{211}{1500}\)
= \(\frac{475+814+211}{1500}\)
= \(\frac{1500}{1500}\)
= 1

Question 3.
Refer to sum no. 5 of “Sums to Enrich ‘Remember’” in chapter 14. Find the probability that a student of the class was born in August.
Answer:
From the Bar graph in the sum which is referred here, we get the following information:

Total number of students = 40 and the number of students born in August = 6.
Hence, if event A denotes the event that a student of the class is born in August, then the number of trials when event A occured is 6 and the total number of trials is 40.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event A occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{6}{40}\)
= \(\frac{3}{20}\)

(iv) earning ₹ 13000 – ₹ 16000 per month and owning more than 2 vehicles.
(v) owning not more than 1 vehicle.
Answer:
Here, the total number of families is 2400. Hence, the total number of trials = 2400

(i) Let event A denote the event that the family is earning ₹ 10000 – ₹ 13000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles.
Then, the number of trials when event A occured = 29.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event A occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{29}{2400}\)

PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Probability Ex 15.1

(ii) Let event B denote the event that the family is earning ₹ 16000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle.
Then, the number of trials when even B occured = 579.
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event B occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{579}{2400}\)
= = \(\frac{193}{800}\)

(iii) Let event C denote the event that the family is earning less than ₹ 7000 per month and does not own any vehicle.
Then, the number of trials when event C occured = 10.
∴ P(C) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event C occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{10}{2400}\)
= = \(\frac{1}{240}\)

(iv) Let event D denote the event that the family is earning ? 13000 -? 16000 per month and is owning more than 2 vehicles. Then, the number of trials when event D occured = 25.
∴ P(D) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event D occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{25}{2400}\)
= \(\frac{1}{96}\)

(v) Let event E denote the event that the family is owning not more than 1 vehicle, i.e., 1 vehicle or no vehicle.
Then, the number of trials when event E occured.
= 10 + 160 + 0 + 305 + 1 + 535 + 2 + 469 + 1 + 579 = 2062
∴ P(E) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event E occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{2062}{2400}\)
= \(\frac{1031}{1200}\)

(i) Find the probability that a student obtained less than 20 marks in the mathematics test.
(ii) Find the probability that a student obtained marks 60 or above.
Answer:
According to the table referred here, the total number of students = 90.
Hence, the total number of trials = 90.
(i) According to the same table, the number of students who obtained less than 20 marks in the mathematics test is 7. So, if the event that a student obtained less than 20 marks in mathematics test is called event A, then the number of trials when event A occured is 7.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event A occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{7}{90}\)

(ii) Let event B denote the event that a student obtained 60 or more marks. Then, , according to the same table, the number of trials when event B occured = 15 + 8 = 23.
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event B occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)

Find the probability that a student chosen at random
(i) Likes statistics,
(ii) Does not like it.
Answer:
Here, the total number of students = 200.
Hence, the total number of trials = 200.

PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Probability Ex 15.1

(i) Let event A denote the event that a student likes statistics.
Then, the number of trials when event A occured = 135
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event A occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{135}{200}\)
= \(\frac{27}{40}\)

(ii) Let event B denote the event that a student does not like statistics. Then, the number of trials when event B occured = 65.
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event B occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{65}{200}\)

(i) less than 7 km from her place of work ?
(ii) more than or equal to 7km from her place of work ?
(iii) within \(\frac{1}{2}\)km from her place to work?
Answer:
The total number of observations in the question referred here is 40.
Hence, the total number of trials = 40.

(i) Let event A denote the event that the distance between her residence and the place of work is less than 7 km. Then there are 9 such observations, viz., 5, 3, 2, 3, 6, 5, 6, 2, 3.
Hence, the number of trials when event A occured = 9.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event A occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{9}{40}\)

PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Probability Ex 15.1

(ii) Let event B denote the event that the said distance is 7 km or more than 7 km. Then, all the remaining 31(40-9) observations refer to event B.
Hence, the number of trials when event B occured = 31
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event A occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{31}{40}\)

(iii) Let event C denote the event that the engineer lives within \(\frac{1}{2}\) km from her place of work. There is no observation which is \(\frac{1}{2}\) or less than \(\frac{1}{2}\).
Hence, the number of trials when event C occured = 0.
∴ P(C) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event C occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{0}{40}\)
= 0

Using this table, find the probability of the concentration of sulphur dioxide in the interval 0.12 – 0.16 on any of these days.
Answer:
In sum no. 5, Exercise 14.2, total number of days is 30.
Hence, the total number of trials = 30.
In the table prepared there, we see that the frequency of class 0.12 – 0.16 is 2.
Hence, during 2 days the concentration of sulphur dioxide (in ppm) was in the interval 0.12 – 0.16.
Let event A denote the event that the concentration of sulphur dioxide (in ppm) is in the interval 0.12 – 0.16.
Hence, the number of trials when event A occured = 2.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event A occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{2}{30}\)
= \(\frac{1}{15}\)

Answer:
In sum no. 1, Exercise 14.2, the total number of students is 30.
Hence, the total number of trials = 30.
Let event A denote the event that a student has blood group AB. The number of students having blood group AB is 3.
Hence, the number of trials when event A occured = 3.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{\text { No. of trials in which event A occured }}{\text { The total number of trials }}\)
= \(\frac{3}{30}\)
= \(\frac{1}{10}\)

Question 1.
The following number of goals were scored by a team in a series of 10 matches:
2, 3. 4, 5, 0. 1, 3, 3, 4, 3
Find the mean, median and mode of these scores.
Answer:
Here, n = 10.
Mean X̄ = \(\frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{n}\)
= \(\frac{2+3+4+5+0+1+3+3+4+3}{10}\)
= \(\frac{28}{10}\)
= 2.8
Thus, the mean of the given scores is 2.8 goals.

Arranging the observations in the ascending order, we get:
0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5
Since n = 10 is an even number, \(\frac{n}{2}\) = 5 and \(\frac{n}{2}\) + 1 = 6.

Median M
= \(\frac{\left(\frac{n}{2}\right) \text { th observation }+\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right) \text { th observation }}{2}\)
= \(\frac{5 \text { th } \text { observation }+6 \text { th } \text { observation }}{2}\)
= \(\frac{3+3}{2}\) = 3
Thus, the median of the given scores is 3 goals.
In the given data, observation 3 occurs most frequently (4 times). Hence, the mode of the data is 3 goals.

41, 39, 48, 52, 46, 62, 54, 40, 96, 52, 98, 40, 42, 52, 60
Find the mean, median and mode of this data.
Answer:
Here, n = 15.
Mean X̄ = \(\frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{n}\)
= \(\begin{gathered}
41+39+48+52+46+62+54+40 \\
+96+52+98+40+42+52+60 \\
\hline 15
\end{gathered}\)
= \(\frac{822}{15}\) = 54.8
Thus, the mean of the data is 54.8 marks.
Arranging the observations in the ascending order, we get:
39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96, 98
Here, n = 15 is an odd number.
Median M = \(\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)\)th observation
= \(\left(\frac{15+1}{2}\right)\)th observation
= 8 th observation
= 52
Thus, the median of the data is 52 marks.
In the given data, observation 52 occurs most frequently (3 times). Hence, the mode of the data is 52 marks.

The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median of the data is 63, find the value of x.
29, 32, 48, 50, x, x + 2, 72, 78, 84, 95
Answer:
Here, the median = 63 and n = 10.
∴ \(\frac{n}{2}\) = 5 and \(\frac{n}{2}\) + 1 = 6

Median M
= \(\frac{\left(\frac{n}{2}\right) \text { th observation }+\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right) \text { th observation }}{2}\)
∴ 63 = \(\frac{5 \text { th } \text { observation }+6 \text { th } \text { observation }}{2}\)
∴ 63 = \(\frac{(x)+(x+2)}{2}\)
∴63 × 2 = x + x + 12
∴126 = 2x + 2
∴ 2x = 124
∴ x = 62

PSEB Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.9

Question 1.
A wooden bookshelf has external dimensions as follows : Height =110 cm, Depth = 25 cm, Breadth = 85 cm (see the given figure). The thickness of the plank is 5 cm everywhere. The external faces are to be polished and the inner faces are to be painted. If the rate of polishing is 20paise per cm2 and the rate of painting is 10 paise per cm2, find the total expenses required for polishing and painting the surface of the bookshelf.
PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.9 1
Answer:
Outer faces to be polished:

  • One face on back side of the bookshelf, measuring 110 cm × 85 cm.
  • Two faces on the sides, each of those measuring 110 cm × 25 cm.
  • The top and the base, each of those measuring 85 cm × 25 cm.
  • Two vertical strips on the front side, each of those measuring 110 cm × 5 cm.
  • Four horizontal strips on the front side, each of those measuring 75 cm × 5 cm.

Thus, total area of region to be polished
= [(110 × 85) + 2(110 × 25) + 2 (85 × 25) + 2(110 × 5) + 4(75 × 5)] cm2
= (9350 + 5500 + 4250 + 1100+ 1500) cm2
= 21700 cm2
20 paise per cm2 = ₹ 0.20 per cm2
Cost of polishing 1 cm2 region = ₹ 0.20
∴ Cost of polishing 21700 cm2 region
= ₹ (21700 × 0.20)
= ₹ 4340

PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.9

Inner faces to be painted:

  • Two faces on the sides each of those measuring 90 cm × 20 cm.
  • Two faces each of two shelves, the top face and the bottom face, in all six face, each of those measuring 75 cm × 20 cm.
  • Face on the back side, measuring 90 cm × 75 cm.

Thus, total area of the region to be painted
= [2 (90 × 20) + 6 (75 × 20) + (90 × 75)] cm2
= (3600 + 9000 + 6750) cm2
= 19350 cm2
10 paise per cm2 = ₹0.10 per cm2
Cost of painting 1 cm2 region = ₹ 0.10
∴ Cost of painting 19350 cm2 region = ₹ (19350 × 0.10) = ₹ 1935
Then, the total expense of polishing and painting = ₹ 4340 + ₹ 1935 = ₹ 6275

Question 2.
The front compound wall of a house is decorated by wooden spheres of diameter 21 cm, placed on small supports as shown in the given figure. Eight such spheres are used for this purpose, and are to be ‘ painted silver. Each support is a cylinder of radius 1.5 cm and height 7 cm and is to be painted black. Find the cost of paint required if silver paint costs 25 paise per cm2 and black paint costs 5 paise per cm2.
PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.9 2
Answer:
For each wooden sphere,
radius r = \(\frac{\text { diameter }}{2}\) = \(\frac{21}{2}\) cm
Curved surface area of 1 sphere
= 4πr2
= 4 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{21}{2}\) × \(\frac{21}{2}\) cm2
= 1386 cm2
For each cylindrical support, radius r = 1.5 cm and height h = 7 cm.
Area of top of cylindrical support
= πr2
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 1.5 × 1.5 cm2
= 7.07 cm2 (approx.)
Hence, the area of each sphere to be painted silver = 1386 cm2 – 7.07 cm2 = 1378.93 cm2
∴ Total area of eight spheres to be painted silver = 1378.93 cm2 × 8 = 11031.44 cm2
25 paise per cm2 = ₹ 0.25 per cm2
Cost of painting silver in 1 cm2 region = ₹ 0.25
∴ Cost of painting silver in 11031.44 cm2 region
= ₹ (11031.44 x 0.25)
= ₹ 2757.86 (approx.)
Curved surface area of 1 cylindrical support
= 2πrh
= 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 1.5 × 7 cm
= 66 cm2
∴ Total area of eight cylindrical supports to be painted black = 66 cm2 × 8 = 528 cm2
5 paise per cm2 = ₹ 0.05 per cm2
Cost of painting black in 1 cm2 region = ₹ 0.05
∴ Cost of painting black in 528 cm2 region = ₹ (528 × 0.05)
= ₹ 26.40
Thus, the total cost of painting = ₹ 2757.86 + ₹ 26.40
= ₹ 2784.26 (approx.)

PSEB 9th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 13.9

Question 3.
The diameter of a sphere is decreased by 25 %. By what per cent does its curved surface area decrease?
Answer:
Suppose, the initial diameter of the sphere is d units and radius is r units.
∴ d = 2r
Original curved surface area of the sphere
= 4πr2
= π (4r2)
= π (2r)2
= πd2 unit2
Now, the diameter of the sphere is reduced by 25 %. Hence, the new diameter of the sphere is 0.75d units.
New curved surface area of the sphere
= π (diameter)
= π (0.75d)2 unit2
= 0.5625 πd2 unit2
∴ The decrease in the curved surface area of the sphere = πd2 – 0.5625 πd2
= 0.4375 πd2 unit2
∴Percentage decrease in the curved surface area of the sphere = \(\frac{0.4375 \pi d^{2}}{\pi d^{2}}\) × 100 = 43.75 %
Thus, when the diameter of a sphere is decreased by 25 %, its curved surface area decreases by 43.75 %.

\(\frac{-7}{20}, \frac{-6}{20}, \frac{-5}{20}, \frac{-4}{20}, \frac{-3}{20}, \ldots, 0, \frac{1}{20}, \ldots, \frac{9}{20} .\)
(There can be many more such rational numbers.)

5. Find five rational numbers between

Question (i).
\(\frac {2}{3}\) and \(\frac {4}{5}\)
Solution:
First, convert \(\frac {2}{3}\) and \(\frac {4}{5}\) having the same denominator, such that the difference between the numerators is more than 5.
\(\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{20}{20}=\frac{40}{60}\);
\(\frac{4}{5}=\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{12}{12}=\frac{48}{60}\)
∴ The five rational numbers between \(\frac {2}{3}\) and \(\frac {4}{5}\) are \(\frac{42}{60}, \frac{43}{60}, \frac{44}{60}, \frac{45}{60}, \frac{46}{60}\).

Question (ii).
\(\frac {-3}{2}\) and \(\frac {5}{3}\)
Solution:
First, convert \(\frac {-3}{2}\) and \(\frac {5}{3}\) having the same denominator, such that the difference between the numerators is more than 5.
\(\frac{-3}{2}=\frac{-3}{2} \times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{-9}{6}\);
\(\frac{5}{3}=\frac{5}{3} \times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{10}{6}\)
∴ The five rational numbers between \(\frac {-3}{2}\) and \(\frac {5}{3}\) are \(\frac{-8}{6}, \frac{-7}{6}, 0, \frac{7}{6}, \frac{8}{6}\).

Question (iii).
\(\frac {1}{4}\) and \(\frac {1}{2}\)
Solution:
First, convert \(\frac {1}{4}\) and \(\frac {1}{2}\) having the same denominator, such that the difference between the numerators is more than 5.
\(\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{8}{8}=\frac{8}{32}\);
\(\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{16}{16}=\frac{16}{32}\)
∴ The five rational numbers between \(\frac {1}{4}\) and \(\frac {1}{2}\) are \(\frac{10}{32}, \frac{11}{32}, \frac{12}{32}, \frac{13}{32}, \frac{14}{32}\).
(There can be many more such rational numbers.)
[Note : You can write rational numbers of your choice.]

6. Write five rational numbers greater than -2.
Solution:
There can be many rational numbers greater than – 2. Five of them are \(\frac{-3}{2}, \frac{-1}{4}, 0, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{5}\).

7. Find ten rational numbers between \(\frac {3}{5}\) and \(\frac {3}{4}\).
Solution:
First, convert \(\frac {3}{5}\) and \(\frac {3}{4}\) having the same denominator, such that the difference between the numerators is more than 10.
\(\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{20}{20}=\frac{60}{100}\);
\(\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{25}{25}=\frac{75}{100}\)
∴ The ten rational numbers between \(\frac {3}{5}\) and \(\frac {3}{4}\) are \(\frac{61}{100}, \frac{62}{100}, \frac{63}{100}, \frac{64}{100}, \frac{65}{100}, \frac{66}{100}, \frac{67}{100}, \frac{68}{100},\)\(\frac{69}{100}, \frac{70}{100}\)
