NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 14 Probability Exercise 14.1

Exercise 14.1

1. A die is rolled. Let E be the event “die shows 4” and F be the event “die shows even number”. Are E and F mutually exclusive?

Ans: 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 are the possible outcomes when the die is thrown.

Therefore, S = {1,2,3,4,5,6} 

According to the question,

E is event die shows 4

\[E = \left( 4 \right)\]

F is die shows even number

\[F = \left( {2,4,6} \right)\]

\[E \cap F = \left( 4 \right) \cap \left( {2,4,6} \right)\]

\[E \cap F = 4\]

Therefore, we can conclude that E and F are not mutually exclusive event.


2. A die is thrown. Describe the following events:

(i) A: a number less than 7.

Ans: \[1,2,3,4,5\] and 6 are the possible outcomes when the die is thrown.

Therefore, \[S = \left( {1,2,3,4,5,6} \right)\]

According to the question,

A: a number less than 7

All the numbers in the die are less than 7,

\[A = \left( {1,2,3,4,5,6} \right)\]

(ii) B: a number greater than 7.

Ans: \[1,2,3,4,5\] and 6 are the possible outcomes when the die is thrown.

Therefore, \[S = \left( {1,2,3,4,5,6} \right)\]

According to the question,

B: a number greater than 7

There is no number on dice greater than 7.

\[B = \phi \]

(iii) C: a multiple of 3 

Ans: \[1,2,3,4,5\] and 6 are the possible outcomes when the die is thrown.

Therefore, \[S = \left( {1,2,3,4,5,6} \right)\]

According to the question,

C : a number multiple of 3

Multiple of 3 between 1 to 6 is 3 and 6

Therefore,

\[C = \left( {3,6} \right)\]

(iv) D: a number less than 4.

Ans: \[1,2,3,4,5\] and 6 are the possible outcomes when the die is thrown.

Therefore, \[S = \left( {1,2,3,4,5,6} \right)\]

According to the question,

D: a number less than 4

\[D = \left( {1,2,3} \right)\]

(v) E: an even number greater than 4.

Ans: \[1,2,3,4,5\] and 6 are the possible outcomes when the die is thrown.

Therefore, \[S = \left( {1,2,3,4,5,6} \right)\]

According to the question,

E: an even number greater than 4

There are only one number which is even greater than 4.

Therefore,

\[E = \left( 6 \right)\]

(vi) F: a number not less than 3.

Ans: Let us 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 are the possible outcomes when the die is thrown.

Therefore, \[S = \left( {1,2,3,4,5,6} \right)\]

According to the question,

F: a number not less than 3

\[F = \left( {3,4,5,6} \right)\]

Also find \[A \cup B,{\text{ }}A\; \cap B,{\text{ }}B \cup C,{\text{ }}E\; \cap {\text{ }}F,{\text{ }}D\; \cap {\text{ }}E,{\text{ }}D--E,{\text{ }}A--C,{\text{ }}E\; \cap {\text{ }}F',{\text{ }}F'\]

Ans: As we have to find, \[{\text{ }}A \cup B,{\text{ }}A\; \cap B,{\text{ }}B \cup C,{\text{ }}E\; \cap {\text{ }}F,{\text{ }}D\; \cap {\text{ }}E,{\text{ }}D--E,{\text{ }}A--C,{\text{ }}E\; \cap {\text{ }}F',{\text{ }}F'\]

Therefore,

\[A\; \cap B{\text{ }} = \;\left( {1,{\text{ }}2,{\text{ }}3,{\text{ }}4,{\text{ }}5,{\text{ }}6} \right)\; \cap \;\left( \phi  \right)\]

\[A\; \cap B = {\text{ }}\left( \phi  \right)\]

\[B \cup C{\text{ }} = \;\left( \phi  \right) \cup \;\left( {3,{\text{ }}6} \right)\]

\[B \cup C = \left( {3,6} \right)\]

\[E\; \cap F = \;\left( 6 \right)\; \cap \;\left( {3,4,5,6} \right)\]

\[E\; \cap F = \left( 6 \right)\]

\[D\; \cap {\text{ }}E{\text{ }} = \;\left( {1,2,3} \right)\; \cap \;\left( 6 \right)\]

\[D\; \cap {\text{ }}E = \left( \phi  \right)\]

\[D--E{\text{ }} = \;\left( {1,2,3} \right)--\left( 6 \right)\]

\[D--E = \;\left( {1,2,3} \right)\]

\[A--C = \left( {1,2,3,4,5,6} \right)--\;\;\left( {3,6} \right)\]

\[A--C = \left( {1,2,4,5} \right)\]

\[F' = S--F\]

\[F' = \left( {1,2,3,4,5,6} \right)--\left( {3,4,5,6} \right)\]

\[F' = \left( {1,2} \right)\]

\[E\; \cap F' = \;\left( 6 \right)\; \cap \;\left( {1,2} \right)\]

\[E\; \cap F' = \;\left( \phi  \right)\]


3. An experiment involves rolling a pair of dice and recording the numbers that come up. Describe the following events: 

A: the sum is greater than 8, 

B: 2 occurs on either die 

C: the sum is at least 7 and a multiple of 3. 

Which pairs of these events are mutually exclusive?

Ans: Let \[1,2,3,4,5\] and 6 are the possible outcomes when the die is thrown.

As in this question pair of die is thrown, so sample space will be,

$S =   (1,1) ,( 1,2),(1,3),( 1,4),(1,5),(1,6) \\$ 

      $ (2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6) \\$

      $ (3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6) \\$

      $ (4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6) \\$

      $ (5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6) \\$

      $ (6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6) \\$

A: The sum is greater than 8

$A=   (3,6) ,( 4,5),(4,6),( 5,4),(5,5) \\$ 

       $(5,6) ,( 6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6) \\$ 

B: 2 occur on the die

$B=   (2,1) ,( 2,2),(2,3),( 2,4),(2,5) \\$ 

       $(1,2) ,( 3,2),(4,2),(5,2),(6,2),(2,6) \\$ 

C: the sum is at least 7 and multiple of 3

\[C =  \left\{ {\left( {3,6} \right),\left( {4,5} \right),\left( {5,4} \right),\left( {6,3} \right),\left( {6,6,} \right)}   \right\}\]

Now, we can find pairs of the events which are mutually exclusive or not.

(i) \[A \cap \;B = \phi \]

As, there is no common element in A and B

Therefore, A and B are mutually exclusive

(ii) \[B\; \cap \;C = \;\phi \]

Since there is no common element between

Therefore, B and C are mutually exclusive.

(iii) \[A\; \cap \;C =  \left\{ {\left( {3,6} \right),{\text{ }}\left( {4,5} \right),{\text{ }}\left( {5,4} \right),{\text{ }}\left( {6,3} \right),{\text{ }}\left( {6,6} \right)}   \right\}\]

\[A\; \cap \;C\; \ne \phi \]

As, A and C have common elements.

Therefore A and C are not mutually exclusive.


4. Three coins are tossed once. Let A denote the event ‘three heads show”, B denote the event “two heads and one tail show”, C denote the event” three tails show'' and D denote the event''a head shows on the first coin”. Which events are

(i) Mutually exclusive? (ii) Simple? (iii) Compound?

Ans: As three coins are tossed once so the possible sample space will be,

\[S{\text{ }} =  \left\{ HHH,HHT,HTH,THH, HTT,THT,TTH,TTH   \right\}\]

According to question,

A: ‘three heads’

\[A = \left( {HHH} \right)\]

B: two heads and one tail

\[B = \left( {HHT,THH,HTH} \right)\]

C :three tails

\[C = \left( {TTT} \right)\]

D: a head shows on the first coin

\[D = \left( {HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT} \right)\]

(i) Mutually Exclusive

\[A\; \cap \;B = \left( {HHH} \right)\; \cap \;\left( {HHT,THH,HTH} \right)\]

\[A\; \cap \;B = \phi \]

Therefore, A and B are mutually exclusive.

\[A \cap \;C = \left( {HHH} \right)\; \cap \;\left( {TTT} \right)\]

\[A \cap \;C = \phi \]

Therefore, A and C are mutually exclusive.

\[A \cap D{\text{ }} = \left( {HHH} \right)\; \cap \;\left( {HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT} \right)\]

\[A \cap D = \left( {HHH} \right)\]

\[A \cap D{\text{ }} \ne \;\phi \]

Therefore, A and D are not mutually exclusive

\[B \cap C = \left( {HHT,HTH,THH} \right) \cap \left( {TTT} \right)\]

\[B \cap C = \phi \]

Therefore, B and C are mutually exclusive.

\[B \cap D = \left( {HHT,THH,HTH} \right) \cap \left( {HHH,HHT,HTH,\;HTT} \right)\]

\[B \cap D = \left( {HHT,HTH} \right)\]

\[B \cap D{\text{ }} \ne \;\phi \]

Therefore, B and D are not mutually exclusive.

\[C \cap D = \left( {TTT} \right)\; \cap \;\left( {HHH,HHT,HTH,\;HTT} \right)\]

\[C \cap D = \;\phi \]

Therefore, C and D are mutually exclusive.

(ii) Simple Event

If an event has only one outcome then it is called a simple event.

\[A = \left( {HHH} \right)\]

\[C{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}\left( {TTT} \right)\]

Both A and C have only one element,

Therefore, they are simple events.

(iii) Compound Events

If an event has more than one outcome then it is called a Compound event

\[B = \left( {HHT,HTH,THH} \right)\]

\[D = \left( {HHH,HHT,HTH,\;HTT} \right)\]

Both B and D have more than one element,

Therefore, they are compound events.


5. Three coins are tossed. Describe

(i) Two events which are mutually exclusive.

As three coins are tossed once so the possible sample space contains,

\[S =  \left\{ HHH,HHT,HTH,\;HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT  \right\}\]

Two events which are mutually exclusive.

Let A be the event of getting only head

\[A =  \left\{ HHH  \right\}\]

Let B be the event of getting only tail

\[B =  \left\{ TTT  \right\}\]

Therefor,

\[A \cap B = \;\phi \]

So, A and B are mutually exclusive.

(ii) Three events which are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.

As three coins are tossed once so the possible sample space contains,

\[S =  \left\{HHH,HHT,HTH,\;HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT  \right\}\]

Three events which are mutually exclusive and exhaustive

Now,

Let P be the event of getting exactly two tails

\[P =  \left\{ HTT,TTH,THT  \right\}\]

Let Q be the event of getting at least two heads

\[Q =  \left\{ HHT,HTH,THH,HHH  \right\}\]

Let R be the event of getting three tail

\[C =  \left\{ TTT  \right\}\]

\[P \cap Q \cap R =  \left\{ HTT,TTH,THT  \right\} \cap  \left\{ HHT,HTH,THH,HHH  \right\} \cap  \left\{ TTT  \right\}\]

\[P \cap Q \cap R = \;\phi \]

Therefore, P, Q and R are mutually exclusive.

And also,

\[P \cup Q \cup R =  \left\{ HTT,TTH,THT  \right\} \cup  \left\{ HHT,HTH,THH,HHH  \right\} \cup  \left\{ TTT  \right\}\]

\[P \cup Q \cup R =  \left\{ HHH,HHT,HTH,\;HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT  \right\}\]

\[P \cup Q \cup R = S\]

Hence P, Q and R are exhaustive events.

(iii) Two events, which are not mutually exclusive.

As three coins are tossed once so the possible sample space contains,

\[S =  \left\{ HHH,HHT,HTH,\;HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT  \right\}\]

Two events, which are not mutually exclusive

Let A be the event of getting at least two heads

\[A =  \left\{ HHH,HHT,THH,HTH  \right\}\]

LetB be the event of getting only head

\[B =  \left\{ HHH  \right\}\]

\[A \cap B =  \left\{ HHH,HHT,THH,HTH  \right\} \cap  \left\{ HHH  \right\}\]

\[A \cap B =  \left\{ HHH  \right\}\]

\[A\; \cap \;B{\text{ }} \ne \;\phi \]

Therefore, A and B are not mutually exclusive.

(iv) Two events which are mutually exclusive but not exhaustive.

As three coins are tossed once so the possible sample space contains,

\[S =  \left\{ HHH,HHT,HTH,\;HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT  \right\}\]

Two events which are mutually exclusive but not exhaustive

Let P be the event of getting only Head

\[P =  \left\{ HHH  \right\}\]

LetQ be the event of getting only tail

\[Q =  \left\{ TTT  \right\}\]

\[P \cap Q =  \left\{ HHH  \right\} \cap  \left\{ TTT  \right\}\]

\[P \cap Q = \phi \]

Therefore, P and Q are mutually exclusive events.

But,

\[P \cup Q =  \left\{ HHH  \right\} \cup  \left\{ TTT  \right\}\]

\[P \cup Q = \; \left\{ {HHH,TTT}   \right\}\]

\[P \cup Q \ne S\]

Therefore,P and Q are not exhaustive events.

(v) Three events which are mutually exclusive but not exhaustive.

As three coins are tossed once so the possible sample space contains,

\[S =  \left\{ HHH,HHT,HTH,\;HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT  \right\}\]

Three events which are mutually exclusive but not exhaustive

Let X be the event of getting only head

\[X =  \left\{ HHH  \right\}\]

Let Y be the event of getting only tail

\[Y =  \left\{ TTT  \right\}\]

Let Z be the event of getting exactly two heads

\[Z =  \left\{ HHT,THH,HTH  \right\}\]

Now,

\[X \cap Y \cap Z =  \left\{ HHH  \right\} \cap  \left\{ TTT  \right\} \cap  \left\{ HHT,THH,HTH  \right\}\]

\[X \cap Y \cap Z = \phi \]

Therefore, they are mutually exclusive

Also

\[X \cup Y \cup Z =  \left\{ HHH  \right\} \cup  \left\{ TTT  \right\} \cup  \left\{ HHT,THH,HTH  \right\}\]

\[X \cap Y \cap Z =  \left\{ HHH,TTT,HHT,THH,HTH\,  \right\}\]

\[X \cap Y \cap Z \ne S\]

So, X, Y and Z are not exhaustive.

Therefore, X, Y and X are mutually exclusive but not exhaustive.

Therefore, A & B are mutually exclusive.

(ii) A and B are mutually exclusive and exhaustive

Ans: \[\left( {A \cap B} \right) = \phi \]

Therefore, A & B are mutually exclusive.

\[A \cup B \]= $(1,1)(1,2)(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6)\\$

$B'=(2,1) ,( 2,2),(2,3),( 2,4),(2,5),(2,6) \\$

$C=(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,1)\\$

$(2,2),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(4,1)\\$

\[A' \cap B' = \phi \]

But, \[B' \cap C =  \left\{ {\left( {2,1} \right),\left( {2,2} \right),\left( {2,3} \right)}   \right\}\]

\[B' \cap C \ne \phi \]

\[A'{\text{ and }}B'\] are mutually exclusive.

\[B'{\text{ and }}C\] are not mutually exclusive.

Therefore, \[A',B',C\] are not mutually exclusive.

\[A' \cup B' \cup C\] =  $(1,1)(1,2)(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6)\\$

    $ (2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6) \\$

      $ (5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6) \\$

      $ (6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6) \\$

\[A' \cup B' \cup C = S\]

Therefore, \[A',B',C\] are exhaustive.

FAQs on NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 14: Probability - Exercise 14.1

1. What is a sample space?

The set of all potential outcomes or results of an experiment or random trial is referred to as the sample space in probability theory. The potential ordered outcomes, or sample points, are listed as elements in a set that is used to represent a sample space.

2. What do you mean by a mutually exclusive event?

Events that do not take place at the same time are said to be mutually exclusive. For instance, if a coin is tossed, the outcome will either be head or tail; we cannot get both outcomes. Since they do not occur at the same time, such events are also known as disjoint events.

3. What do you mean by "exhaustive events"?

If at least one of two events, A and B, will undoubtedly happen, then the pair is said to be exhaustive events.

If you roll a die, for example, at least one of the following things will happen:

A=(" a number less than '5' appears")

B=("a number greater than "2" appears")

4. What are not mutually exclusive or non-exclusive events?

If two events A and B have at least one common outcome, then they are said to be mutually non-exclusive events. The fact that events A and B cannot stop one another from happening leads us to conclude that they share some characteristics.

5. Why should I refer to Vedantu’s NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths, Chapter 14 Probability (Ex. 14.1), Exercise 14.1?
