equally likely events

Hello students,Previously we have discussed about inverse function worksheet and In today's session we are going to discuss about equally likely events which is a part of board of intermediate education andhra pradesh, In the mathematics we deals with the probability and their events such as exhaustive, dependent, independent, mutually exclusive, favorable and many more. Equally likely events are one of them. Let’s talk about the equally likely events definition : - In some experiments we know the results in advance but actually do not know the exact result, this type of results are called the random experiments and the result of random experiments are called equally likely events if the different outcomes have the same chance of occurrence.
For example when a die is thrown, each of the faces bearing one, two, three, four, five or six dots is equally like to appear.
Another example when we toss a coin then we have a chance to get either a Head or Tail.
Means it includes all those experiments in which we know the all results but we do not know the actual or exact results.
Let’s take examples -
Which of the following experiments have equally likely outcomes or events.
I) A driver attempts to start a car. The car start or does not start.
II) A players attempts to shot a basketball. she/he shoots or misses the shot.
III) A trial is made to answer a true false question. The answer is right or wrong.
IV) A baby is born. It is a boy or girl
Solutions : - (I) A driver attempts to start a car. The car starts or does not start, is not equally like events.
(II) A players attempts to shot a basketball. she/he shoots or misses the shot are not equally like events.
(III) A trial is made to answer a true false question. The answer is right or wrong is an equally like to occur.
(IV) A baby is born. It is a boy or girl is an equally like occur event.


In the next session we are going to discuss Grade VI, Steps in problem solving and You can visit our website for getting information about free math tutor.
