It is the piecewise linear curve formed by connecting the midpoints of the tops of the adjacent rectangles of the histogram. In other words, it is a graphical representation of continuous data in which the frequencies of the classes are plotted by dots against the mid-points of each class and adjacent dots are joined by straight line segments. The frequency polygon can be constructed by the following two methods. a) Using a histogram Study the following steps to construct a frequency polygon using a histogram. (i) Draw a histogram from the given data. (ii) Mark the mid-point at the top of each rectangle of the histogram drawn. Statistics (I): Classification and Graphical Representation of Data

Then, represent the data in the frequency polygon. 3. Ogive (Cumulative frequency curve) The sum of the frequencies of all the values up to a given value is known as cumulative frequency. It is denoted by c.f. Ogive is a graphic presentation of the cumulative frequency distribution of continuous series. In the case of a continuous series, if the upper limit (or the lower limit) of each class interval is taken as x-coordinate and its corresponding c.f. as y-coordinate and the points are plotted in the graph, we obtain a curve by joining the points with freehand. Such curve is known as ogive or cumulative frequency curve. Statistics (I): Classification and Graphical Representation of Data
Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur 305 Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 Since ‘less than’ c.f. and ‘more than’ c.f. are the two types of cumulative frequency distributions, there are two types of ogive. They are less than ogive and more than ogive. (i) Less than ogive (or less than cumulative frequency curve) When the upper limit of each class interval is taken as x-coordinate and its corresponding frequency as y-coordinate, the ogive so obtained is known as less than ogive (or less than cumulative frequency curve). Obviously, less than ogive is an increasing curve, sloping upwards from left to right and has the shape of an elongated S. (ii) More than ogive (or more than cumulative frequency curve) When the lower limit of each class interval is taken as x-coordinate and its corresponding frequency as y-coordinate, the ogive so obtained is known as more than ogive (or more than cumulative frequency curve). More than ogive is a decreasing curve sloping downwards from left to right and has the shape of an elongated S, upside down. 17.8 Construction of less than ogive and more than ogive Study the following steps to construct a less than ogive. (i) Make a less than cumulative frequency table. (ii) Choose the suitable scale and mark the upper class limits of each class interval along X-axis and cumulative frequencies along Y-axis. (iii) Plot the coordinates of (the upper limit, less than c.f.) on the graph. (iv) Join the point by freehand and obtain a less than ogive. In the case of more than ogive, we should prepare the more than cumulative frequency table. The lower class limits of each class interval are marked on x-axis. Then, the process is similar to the construction of less than ogive. Worked-out Examples Example 1: Look at the given ‘less than’ ogive and answer the following questions. (i) How many students are there in all? (ii) How many students have obtained less than 20 marks? (iii) In which class interval of obtained marks, there is the maximum number of students? Solution: (i) Total number of students is 40 (ii) Number of students who obtained less than 20 marks is 10. (iii) The class interval of marks obtained by maximum number of students is (20 - 30).

A single central value is the best representative of the given data towards which the values of all other data are approaching. Average of the given data is the measure of central tendency. There are three types of averages which are commonly used as the measure of central tendency. They are: mean, median and mode. 18.3 Arithmetic mean Arithmetic mean is the most common type of average. It is the number obtained by dividing the sum of all the items by the number of items. i.e., mean = sum of all the items the number of items (i) Mean of non–repeated data If x represents all the items and n be the number of items, then mean ( x ) = Σx n Unit 18 Statistics (II): Measures of Central Tendency
Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 312 Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur Worked-out Examples Example 1: Calculate the average of the following marks obtained by 7 students of a class in mathematics. 87, 63, 45, 72, 95, 35, 79 Solution: Here, Σx = 87 + 63 + 45 + 72 + 95 + 35 + 79 = 476 and n = 7 Now, mean ( x ) = Σx n = 476 7 = 68 Example 2: If the average of the following wages received by 5 workers is Rs 400, find the value of p. 300, 380, p, 420, 460. Solution: Here, Σx = 300 + 380 + p + 420 + 460 = 1560 + p and n = 5 Now, average = Σx n or, 400 = 1560 + p 5 or, 1560 + p = 2000 or, p = 440 Hence, the required value of p is Rs 440. Example 3: In a discrete data, if Σfx = 400 + 20a and Σf = 20 + a, find the mean ( x ) . Solution: Here, Σfx = 400 + 20a and Σf = 20 + a, x = ? Now, x = Σfx Σf = 400 + 20a 20 + a = 20(20 + a) 20 + a = 20 Example 4: In a discrete series, the mean is 50, Σfx = 100p + 150 and N = 4p – 15, find the values of p and N. Solution: Here, mean ( x ) = 50, Σfx = 100 p + 150 and N = 4p – 15 Now, x = Σfx N or, 50 = 100p + 150 4p – 15 or, 50 (4p – 15) = 100p + 150 or, 200p – 750 = 100p + 150 or, 100p = 900 ∴ p = 9 Also, N = 4p – 15 = 4 × 9 – 15 = 21 Hence, the required values of p is 9 and N is 21. (ii) Mean of individual repeated data (Mean of a frequency distribution) In the case of repeated data, follow the steps given below to calculate the mean. – Draw a table with 3 columns. – Write down the items (x) in ascending or descending order in the first column and the corresponding frequencies in the second column. – Find the product of each item and its frequency (fx) and write in the third column.

Therefore, 16 is called the median of the series. In this way, median is the value that falls exactly at the middle of an array data. i.e., Median = the middle value of a set of arry data (i) Median of ungrouped data To find the median of an ungrouped data, arrange them in ascending or descending order. Let the total number of observation be n. Statistics (II): Measures of Central Tendency
Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 316 Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur ⇒ If n is odd, the median is the value of the n + 1 2 th observation. ⇒ If n is even, the median is the average of th n 2 and th n 2 + 1 the observations. Worked-out Examples Example 1: The heights of 7 students (in cm) are given below. Find the median height. 115, 119, 125, 110, 140, 135, 128 Solution: Arranging the heights in ascending order, we have, 110, 115, 119, 125, 128, 135, 140 Here, n= 7 Now, the position of median = n + 1 2 th term = 7 + 1 2 th term = 4th term Thus, median lies at the 4th position. ∴ Median = 125. Example 2: The daily wages (in Rs) of 12 workers are given below. Calculate the median wage. 400, 350, 450, 520, 250, 375, 480, 550, 380, 555, 600, 580 Solution: Arranging the wages in ascending order, we have, 250, 350, 375, 380, 400, 450, 480, 520, 550, 555, 580, 600 Here, n = 12 Now, the position of median = n + 1 2 th term = 12 + 1 2 th term = 6.5th term 6.5th term is the average of 6th and 7th terms. ∴ Median = 450 + 480 2 = 930 2 = 465 Hence, median wage is Rs 465. Example 3: If the given data is in ascending order and median is 34, find the value of x. 10, 15, 26, 3x + 1, 39, 44, 53 Solution: Here, The given data in ascending order is 10, 15, 26, (3x + 1), 39, 44, 53 Number of observations (n) = 7 Now, the position of median = n + 1 2 th term = 7 + 1 2 th term = 4th term ∴ Median =3x + 1 But, by question median = 34 or, 3x + 1 = 34 or, 3x = 33 ∴ x = 11 Hence, the required value of x is 11. Statistics (II): Measures of Central Tendency
Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur 317 Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 (ii) Median of Discrete series To compute the median of a discrete series of frequency distribution, we should display the data in ascending or descending order in a cumulative frequency table. Then, the median is obtained by using the formula, Median = value of N + 1 2 th observation. Example 4: Compute the median from the table given below, Weight (in kg) 25 30 35 40 45 50 No. of students 4 7 10 4 3 2 Solution: Cumulative frequency table: Weight in kg (x) No. of students (f) c.f. 25 30 35 40 45 50 4 7 10 4 3 2 4 11 21 25 28 30 Total N = 30 Now, position of median = N + 1 2 th term = 30 + 1 2 th term = 15.5th term In c.f. column, the c.f. just greater than 15.5 is 21 and its corresponding values is 35. ∴ Median = 35 kg. 18.5 Quartiles Quartiles are the values that divide the data arranged in ascending or descending order into four equal parts. Hence, there are three quartiles that divide a distribution into four equal part. x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 1st quartile (Q1 ) 2nd quartile (Q2 ) 3rd quartile (Q3 ) ⇒ The first or lower quartile (Q1 ) is the point below which 25 % of the observations lie and above which 75 % of the observations lie. ⇒ The second quartile (Q2 ) is the point below which 50 % of the observations lie and above which 50 % of the observations lie. Of course, the second quartile is the median. ⇒ The third or upper quartile (Q3 ) is the point below which 75 % of the observations lie and above which 25 % of the observations lie. If N be the number of observations in ascending (or in descending) order of a distribution, then in the case of discrete data The position of the first quartile (Q1 ) = N + 1 4 th term Statistics (II): Measures of Central Tendency
Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 318 Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur The position of the second quartile (Q2 ) = 2 (N + 1)th 4 term = N + 1 2 th term The position of the third quartile (Q3 ) = 3 (N + 1) th 4 term. After finding the positions of a quartile, we apply the similar process of computing the required quartile as like the process of computing median. Example 5: Find the first quartile (Q1 ) and the third quartile (Q3 ) from the data given below. 18, 24, 20, 19, 23, 34, 28 Solution: Arranging the data in ascending order, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 28, 34 Here, N = 7 The position of the first quartile (Q1 ) = N + 1 4 th term = 7 + 1 4 th term = 2nd item Thus Q1 lies at the 2nd position. ∴ The first quartile (Q1 ) = 19. Again, the position of the third quartile (Q3 ) = 3(N + 1) 4 th term = 6th term Thus, Q3 lies at the 6th position. ∴ The third quartile (Q3 ) = 28 Example 6: The observations 2x + 1, 3x – 1, 3x + 5, 5x – 1, 38, 7x – 4 and 50 are in ascending order. If the first quartile is 20, what is the value of x? Also, find the third quartile of the observations. Solution: Here, The given data in ascending order is 2x + 1, 3x – 1, 3x + 5, 5x – 1, 38, 7x – 4, 50 No. of items (n) = 7 Now, the position of the first quartile (Q1 ) = N + 1 4 th term = 7 + 1 4 th = 2nd term The value of 2nd term is 3x – 1. So, the first quartile (Q1 ) = 3x – 1. According to question, Q1 = 20 or, 3x – 1= 20 or, 3x = 21 ∴ x = 7 Again, the position of the third quartile (Q3 ) = 3 n + 1 4 th term = 3 7 + 1 4 th term = 6th term The value of 6th term is 7x – 4. ∴ The third quartile (Q3 ) = 7x – 4 = 7 × 7 – 4 = 45.

Therefore, 7 is the mode of the given observations. Thus, the mode of a set of data is the value with the highest frequency. A distribution that has two modes is called bimodal. The mode of a set of data is denoted by Mo . (i) Mode of discrete data In the case of discrete data, mode can be found just by inspection, i.e., just by taking an item with highest frequency. Example 8: Find the mode for the following distribution, 12, 10, 18, 12, 10, 12, 15, 12, 10 Solution: Arranging the data in ascending order 10, 10, 10, 12, 12, 12, 12, 15, 18 Here, 12 has the highest frequency. ∴ Mode = 12 Example 9: Find the mode of the given distribution: Marks 27 30 36 40 45 50 No. of students 4 10 16 9 6 5 Statistics (II): Measures of Central Tendency
Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 320 Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur Solution: Here, the marks 36 has the highest frequency, i.e., 16. ∴ Mode = 36. (ii) Mode of grouped and continuous data In the case of grouped and continuous data, the class with highest frequency is observed and it is taken as the model class. Then, by using the following formula, mode can be computed. Mode (M0 ) = L + f 1 – f0 2f1 –f0 – f2 × c Where, L = the lower limit of the model class f 0 = the frequency of the class preceding the model class f 1 = the frequency of the model class f 2 = the frequency of the class succeeding the model class c = the width of the class interval Alternatively, mode can also be computed by the following empirical relation. Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean Example 10: Find the model class from the data given below: x 0 – 10 10 – 20 20 – 30 30 – 40 40 – 50 f 6 8 12 7 3 Solution: Here, 12 is the highest frequency and its corresponding class is 20 – 30. ∴ Model class is 20 – 30. Example 11: Compute the mode from the data given below: Age in years 3 – 5 5 – 7 7 – 9 9 – 11 11 – 13 13 – 15 No. of pupils 10 35 70 35 12 6 Solution: Here, 70 is the highest frequency and its corresponding class is 7 – 9. ∴ Model class is 7 – 9. Now, L = 7, f1 = 70, f0 = 35, f2 = 35 and c = 2 ∴ Mode (M0 ) = L + f 1 – f0 2f1 –f0 – f2 × c = 7 + 70 – 35 140 – 35 – 35 × 2 = 7 + 35 70 × 2 = 8 So, the required mode is 8 years. 18.7 Range The difference between the largest and the smallest score is called range. ∴ Range = Largest score – Smallest score Statistics (II): Measures of Central Tendency

For example, probability of raining, probability of increasing the price of petroleum, probability of winning the games or election and so on are a few cases. Thus, probability refers something likely to occur; however, it is not certain to occur. Facts to remember Probability is the numerical measurement of the degree of certainty of the occurrence of events. For example, when a coin is tossed, it is 50/50 chance that the head or tail occurs. So, the probability of occurrence of head is 1 2 and that of tail is also 1 2. Unit 19 Probability
Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 326 Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur The first foundation of modern mathematical theory of probability was laid in the seventeenth century by French mathematicians Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665) and Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) while contemplating a gambling problem posed by Chevalier de Mere, a gambler and a member of aristocracy in 1654. James Bernoulli (1654 – 1705), A. de Moivre (1667 – 1754), and Pierre Simon Laplace are among those who made significant contributions to this field. Laplace’s Theorie Analytique des Probabilités, 1812, is considered to be the greatest contribution by a single person to the theory of probability. Following are a few important terms which are frequently used in probability. It is essentially important to have the proper concept of these terms. Experiments and outcomes: An action by which an observation is made is called the experiment. Any experiment whose outcome cannot be predicated or determined in advance is called a random experiment. A few examples of random experiments a) Tossing a coin b) Rolling a die c) Drawing a card from a well shuffled pack of 52 playing cards The results of a random experiment are called outcomes. For example, while tossing a coin, the occurrence of head or tail is the outcome. Sample space: Each performance in a random experiment is called a trial and an outcome of a trial is called a sample point. The set of all possible outcomes (i.e., sample points) of a random experiment is known as sample space. Usually, a sample space is denoted by S. For example, (i) The possible outcomes of a random experiment of throwing a die are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. ∴ The sample space, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} (ii) The possible outcomes of a random experiment of tossing a coin are head (H) or tail (T). ∴ The sample space, S = {H, T} (iii) When two coins are tossed simultaneously, the sample space, S = {HH, HT, TH, TT} Event: A sample space S of a random experiment is a universal set. Every non-empty subset of the sample space S is called an event. For example, while tossing a coin, the sample space, S = {H, T}. Here, the subsets {H}, {T} and {H, T} are the events of S. The empty set I is also an event of S, but it is the ‘impossible event’. S is called the ‘sure event’. An event containing only one element of S is called a simple or elementary event. Probability
Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur 327 Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 For example, If S = {H, T}, then {H} and {T} are the elementary events. If S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, then {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, and {6} are the elementary events. Exhaustive cases: The total number of all possible outcomes of a random experiment is known as exhaustive cases. For example, while tossing a coin, S = {H, T}. So, exhaustive cases = 2 While tossing two coins simultaneously, S = {HH, HT, TH, TT} So, exhaustive cases = 4. Similarly, the exhaustive cases of tossing three coins simultaneously is 8. Thus, if n denotes the number of tossing coins simultaneously, then the exhaustive cases can be obtained as 2n. Equally likely events Two or more events are said to be equally likely if the chance of occurring any one event is equal to the chance of occurring other cases. For example, while throwing a die, the chance of coming up the numbers 1 to 6 is equal. similarly, while tossing a coin, head (H) or tail (T) are equally likely events. Favourable and unfavourable cases The outcomes in an random experiment which are desirable (or expected) to us are called favourable cases and all other cases are unfavourable cases. For example: While tossing a coin, S = {H, T} Here, the favourable number of case of head is 1 and tail is also 1. While tossing two coins, S = {HH, HT, TH, TT} The favourable number of case of both of them head is 1 and tail is also 1. The favourable number of cases of at least one head is 3 and at least tail is also 3. Some useful facts about playing cards, coin and die a) Playing cards There are 52 cards in a packet of playing cards. Probability
Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 328 Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur There are 26 red and 26 black coloured cards in the packet. 13 Hearts (♥) and 13 diamonds (♦) are the red coloured cards. 13 Spades (♠) and 13 clubs (♣) are the black coloured cards. There are 4 suits (Heart, Club, Diamond, Spade), each with 13 cards (Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King). There are 12 face cards in the packet. Among them 4 are Jacks (heart, diamond, spade and club), 4 are Queens and 4 are Kings. b) Coin There are two faces of a coin, head (H) and tail (T). c) Die There are six faces in a die which are numbered from 1 to 6. In a fair die, the sum of the numbers turning on the opposite sides (1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and 4) are always equal to 7. 19.3 Probability of an event Let n(S) be the total number of all possible outcomes (Exhaustive number of cases) of an experiment and n(E) be the favourable number of cases of the sample space S, then the probability of happening the event (E) is defined as, P(E) = Favourable number of cases Exhaustive number of cases = n(E) n(S) Also, the probability of non–happening of the event is given by P'(E) = 1 – P(E) 19.4 Probability scale Probability is measured on a scale from 0 to 1. A 0 (zero) probability means there is no chance of an event happening. A probability of 1 means that it is certain the event will happen. In the adjoining spinner, the probability of the pointer to stop on green is 1 4. The probability of the pointer to stop on blue is 1 4. The probability of the pointer to stop on yellow is 1 4. The probability of the pointer to stop on green or yellow is 1 2. The probability of the pointer to stop on black is 0, which means not possible. The probability of the pointer to stop on green, blue, red or yellow is 1. Similarly, there are 6 blue, 9 red and 5 green marbles of same shape and size in a bag. When a marble is randomly taken out, then the probability of getting a blue marble, P (B) is 6 20 = 0.3 Probability
Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur 329 Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 the probability of getting a red marble, P (R) is 9 20 = 0.45 and the probability of getting a green marble, P (G) is 5 20 = 0.25 Facts to remember 1. The probability of an event always lies between 0 to 1, but it can never be less than 0 and more than 1. i.e., for an event E, 0 ≤ P (E) ≤ 1. 2. The probability of a sure event is 1. 3. The probability of impossible event is 0. Worked-out Examples Example 1: An unbiased normal die is rolled once. Answer the following questions. (a) Write down the sample space for this experiment. (b) Find the probability of getting an even number. (c) Find the probability of getting the face with the number 5. (d) Are the events of getting numbers from 1 to 6 equally likely? Give reason. Solution: (a) Sample space (S) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} (b) n (S) = 6, Even numbers (E) = {2, 4, 6} ∴The favourable number of cases, n (E) = 3 We have, P (E) = n(E) n(S) = 3 6 = 1 2 (c) n (S) = 6, E = {5} The favourable number of cases, n (E) = 1 ∴ P (E) = n(E) n(S) = 1 6 (d) While rolling a die, the chance of turning up the numbers from 1 to 6 are the same. Thus, the events are equally likely. Example 2: The flash cards numbered from 1 to 20 are shuffled well and a card is drawn at random. (a) Define sample space. (b) If n (E) denotes the favourable events and n (S) denotes total number of events, write the formula to find the probability P (E). (c) Find the probability of getting a card having number which is exactly divisible by 5. (d) Find the probability of not getting a composite numbered card. Solution: (a) The set of all possible outcomes in a random experiment is called sample space. (b) P (E) = n(E) n(S) Probability
Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 330 Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur (c) S = {1, 2, 3, …, 20} ∴n (S) = 20 Numbers exactly divisible by 5, E = {5, 10, 15, 20} ∴n (E) =4 ∴ P (E) = n(E) n(S) = 4 20 = 1 5 (d) Composite numbers (E) = {4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20} ∴n (E) =11 P (E) = n(E) n(S) = 11 20 ∴The probability of not getting a composite numbered card, P(E) = 1 – P (E) = 1 – 11 20 = 9 20 Example 3: From a well shuffled pack of 52 playing cards, a card is randomly drawn. Answer the following questions. (a) What is the probability of a sure event? (b) What is the probability of getting a king? (c) What is the probability of getting a red-faced card? (d) What is the probability of not getting a king of spade? Solution: (a) The probability of sure event is 1. (b) n (S) =52 The favourable number of cases, n (E) = 4 ∴ P (E) = n(E) n(S) = 4 52 = 1 13 (c) The favourable number of cases, n (E) = 6 P (E) = n(E) n(S) = 6 52 = 3 26 (d) The favourable number of cases, n (E) = 1 ∴ P (E) = n(E) n(S) = 1 52 ∴The probability of not getting a king of spade, P(E) = 1 – P (E) = 1 – 1 52 = 51 52 Example 4: Three unbiased coins are tossed simultaneously. Write down the sample space and find the probability of getting (a) all heads (b) at most two heads (c) one tail (d) at most one tail. Solution: To find the sample space S, Here, sample space of tossing the first coin = {H, T} Sample space of tossing the first and the second coins = H T H HH HT T TH TT = (HH, HT, TH, TT} E = {king of spade, king of heart, king of diamond, king of club} ∴n (E) = 4 E = {faced-cards of heart and diamonds} ∴n (E) = 6 E = {king of spade} ∴n (E) = 1 Probability
Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur 331 Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 Sample space of tossing all the three coins = HH HT TH TT H HHH HHT HTH HTT T THH THT TTH TTT = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT} ∴ n(S) = 8 (a) The number of favourable cases of all heads, n(E) = 1 ∴ P(E) = n(E) n(S) = 1 8 (b) The number of favourable cases of at most two heads, n(E) = 7 ∴ P(E) = n(E) n(S) = 7 8 (c) The number of favourable cases of one tail, n(E) = 3 ∴P (E) = n(E) n(S) = 3 8 (d) The number of favourable cases of at most one tail, n(E) = 4 ∴P (E) = n(E) n(S) = 4 8 = 1 2 19.5 Empirical probability (or Experimental probability) When a coin is tossed, theoretically the probability of getting head is 1 2 . The probability obtained in this way is called theoretical probability. On the other hand, if a coin is tossed 20 times, theoretically the head should occur 1 2 × 20 times, i.e., 10 times. However, in real experiment it may not happen, i.e., the occurrence of head may be 6, 9, 11, 15, or any other number of times. The probability of any event which is estimated on the basis of the number of actual experiments is known as empirical (or experimental) probability. If n(S) be the total number of times, an experiment is repeated and n(E) be number of observed outcomes, the empirical probability is defined as, P(E) = Number of observed outcomes Total number of times an experiment is repeated = n(E) n(S) Example 5: When a coin is tossed 200 times, head occurs 80 times. Find the probability of (a) head and (b) tail. Solution: Here, total number of trials n(S) = 200 n(E) = n(H) = 80 (a) Now, P(E) = P(H) = n(E) n(S) = 80 200 = 0.4 (b) Again, the probability of tail, P(T) = 1 – 0.4 = 0.6 Example 6: The number of match–sticks in each of 20 boxes were counted. The results are shown in the table given below: No. of match–sticks 39 40 41 42 Frequency 5 8 4 3 If one of these boxes is selected at random, what is the probability that (a) it contains 40 sticks? (b) it contains more than 40 sticks? Alternative process P(E) = P(T) = 200 – 80 = 120 ∴P(T) = P(E) P(S) = 120 200 = 0.6 Probability
Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 9 332 Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur Solution: (a) Here, n(S) = 20 n(E) = 8 ∴ P(E) = n(E) n(S) = 8 20 = 2 5 Example 7: If the probability of germinating a seed of a pea plant is 0.85, how many seeds out of 1000 will germinate? Solution: Here, n(S) = 1000 P(E) = 0.85 n(E) = ? Hence, the required number of geminated seeds is 850. Example 8: Bulbs are packed in cartons, each containing 60 bulbs. 500 cartons were examined for defective bulbs and the results are given in following table. No. of defective bulbs 0 1 2 3 4 5 More than 5 No. of cartons 280 120 45 31 16 6 2 If one carton is selected at random, what is the probability that: (a) it has no defective bulb? (b) it has defective bulbs less than 3? (c) it has defective bulbs more than 4? Solution: Here, total number of cartons, n(S) = 500 (a) The number of cartons that have no defective bulbs = n(E1 ) = 280 ∴ P(E1 ) = n(E1 ) n(S) = 280 500 = 0.56 (b) The number of cartons that have less than 3 defective bulbs n(E2 ) = 280 + 120 + 45 = 445 ∴ P(E2 ) = n(E2 ) n(S) = 445 500 = 0.89 (c) The number of cartons that have more than 4 defective bulbs = n(E3 ) = 6 + 2 = 8 ∴ P(E3 ) = n(E3 ) n(S) = 8 500 = 0.016 EXERCISE 19.1 General section 1. Answer the following questions. a) Define probability? b) If the number of favourable outcomes and possible outcomes are n(E) and n(S) respectively, find the probability of the event ‘E’. c) What is the probability of an event if it is certain? d) If the event is impossible, what is its probability? (b) Again, n(E) = 4 + 3 = 7 ∴ P(E) = n(E) n(S) = 7 20 . Now, P(E) = n(E) n(S) or, 0.85 = n(E) 1000 n(E) = 850 Probability

The word Trigonometry is derived from Greek, where trigonon means ‘triangle’ and metron means ‘measure’. Throughout history, trigonometry has it’s broad applications in many area such as surveying, celestial mechanics, navigation, and so on. 20.2 Trigonometric ratios In the given right–angled triangle, ∠B is a right angle. The longest side, which is the opposite side of right angle is the hypotenuse (h). When we take ∠C as the reference angle, the side opposite to it is perpendicular and the side adjacent to it is the base. So, AB is perpendicular and BC is base. When we take ∠A as the reference angle, BC is the perpendicular and AB is the base. The ratios of any two sides of a right–angled triangle with respect to one of the two acute angles are known as Trigonometric Ratios. The acute angle about which the ratio is formed is called the angle of reference. Sine, cosine and tangent are the name of the three main trigonometric ratios. (i) The sine of an angle A, written as sinA, is the ratio of opposite side (perpendicular) and hypotenuse. i.e., sinA = opposite hypotenuse = perpendicular hypotenuse = p h = BC AC (ii) The cosine of an angle A, written as cosA, is the ratio of adjacent side (base) and hypotenuse. i.e., cosA = adjacent hypotenuse = base hypotenuse = b h = AB AC (iii) The tangent of an angle A, written as tanA, is the ratio of opposite side (perpendicular) and adjacent side (base). i.e., tanA = opposite adjacent = perpendicular base = p b = BC AB In the above cases, the acute angle A is taken as the angle of reference. Now, let’s find the trigonometric ratios of taking another angle of reference C. (i) sinC = perpendicular hypotenuse = p h = AB AC A B C hypotenuse perpendicular (opposite) base (adjacent) A B C hypotenuse perpendicular (opposite) base (adjacent) C B A h b p C B A h b p Unit 20 Trigonometry

The reference angles are denoted by different Greek letters such as a (alpha), b (beta), y (gamma), q (theta), f (phi), etc. However, the reference angles are also denoted by English capital letters like A, B, C, ... etc. 20.3 Relation between trigonometric ratios We know that sinA = p h and cosA = b h ∴ sin2 A = p2 h2 and cos2 A = b2 h2 Now, sin2 A + cos2 A = p2 h2 + b2 h2 = p2 + b2 h2 = h2 h2 = 1 Also, we have, tanA = p b . Dividing the numerator and the denominator by h, we get tanA = p/h b/h = sinA cosA Thus, tan A = sinA cosA . Example 1: In the right angled triangle ABC given alongside, ∠ABC = 90o and ∠ACB =θ. Answer the following questions. (a) Express tanθ in terms of the sides of the triangle. (b) Which trigonometric ratio is represented by BC AC? (c) If AC = 20 cm and sinθ = 4 5 , find the length of AB. (d) What is the value of AB AC 2 + BC AC 2 ? Solution: Here, for reference angle θ, hypotenuse (h) = AC, perpendicular (p) = AB and base (b) = BC. (a) tanθ = p b = AB BC (b) BC AC = b h = cosθ Thus, cosθ is represented by BC AC Thus, sin2 A + cos2 A = 1 (i) sin2 A = 1 – cos2 A and sinA = 1 – cos2 A (ii) cos2 A = 1 – sin2 A and cosA = 1 – sin2 A https://www.geogebra.org/m/uffpj4tr Vedanta ICT Corner Please!

Suppose, ∠PQR = θ. Here, when θ tends to be 0°, PR also tends to be 0 and QR tends to be equal to PQ. ∴ When θ = 0 then, PR = 0 and QR = PQ Now, in rt. ∠ed ∆ PQR, sinθ = p h = PR QR cosθ = b h = PQ QR tanθ = p b = PR PQ ∴ sin0° = 0 PQ = 0 ∴ cos0° = PQ PQ = 1 ∴ tan0° = 0 PQ = 0 (iv) Values of trigonometric ratios of the angle 90° Let PQR be a right-angled triangle in which ∠RPQ is a right angle. Suppose, ∠PQR = θ. Here, when θ tends to be 90°, PQ tends to be 0 and QR tends to be equal to PR. ∴When θ = 90°, then PQ = 0 and QR = PR Now, in rt. ∠ed ∆ PQR, sinθ = p h = PR QR cosθ = b h = PQ QR tanθ = p b = PR PQ ∴ sin90° = PR PR = 1 ∴ cos90° = 0 PR = 0 ∴ tan90° = PR 0 = ∞ The values of trigonometric ratios of the standard angles are given in the following table.
