UNIT-3 : MATH FOR AI (STATISTICS & PROBABILITY)
Answer the following questions:
1. Define Probability.
Ans. Probability is a branch of statistics that deals with the likelihood or chance of
different outcomes occurring in a given situation.
2. How do you calculate probability?
Ans. The formula for probability is given as follows:
Number of Favourable Outcomes
P(A) =
Total Number of Possible Outcomes
3. Define the term "Statistics".
Ans: Statistics is used for collecting, exploring, and analysing the data. It also helps in
drawing conclusions from data.
4. What is an impossible event? Give an example.
Ans: An impossible event has no chance of occurring, such as rolling a number greater than
6 on a fair six-sided die.
5. What is an example of a certain event in probability?
Ans: The occurrence of sunrise and sunset each day is a certain event with a
probability of 1.
6. What are the possible ways to express probability?
Ans: Probability can be expressed in the following ways:
Certain events: An event will happen without a doubt.
Likely events: The probability of one event is higher than the probability of another
event.
Unlikely events: One event is less likely to happen than another event.
Impossible events: There's no chance of an event happening.
Equal Probability events: Chances of each event happening is the same.
7. List down the areas of applications of statistics.
Ans:
Sports
Education
Disaster management
Weather forecast
Disease prediction
Opinion of voters
8. How is probability helpful for a student in studying a specific topic?
Ans:
Students can use probability to estimate the likelihood of achieving certain
grades based on their past performance and study habits.
• By analysing the probability of different outcomes, students can prioritise their
study time more effectively.
• If a topic has a high probability of appearing on an exam, students can prioritise
their study efforts accordingly.
9. A school is organising a raffle where there are 10 tickets, and only one ticket is a
winner. Each student gets one ticket. What is the probability that a specific
student wins the raffle?
Ans: Number of Favourable Outcomes = 1 (the winning ticket)
Total Number of Possible Outcomes = 10 (total tickets)
1
Probability P(A) = 10 = 0.1 or 10%.
