Answer:
1. Greek word: Psyche – Soul
2. John Locke – Empty slate
3. First Psychological Laboratory
4. Sigmund Freud – Founder of Psychoanalysis
5. John Watson OR Organism’s response to stimuli – Behaviour

2. Explain the following concepts.

Question 1.
Psychology
Answer:
The word Psychology is derived from Greek words – ‘Psyche’ and ‘Logos’. It is denoted by the Greek Alphabet “Psi” and the symbol is 4L Wilhelm Wundt defined it as “the study of consciousness”. Dr. Sigmund Freud defined it as “the study of unconsciousness”. John B. Watson defined it as “the science of human behaviour”. The latest definition of Psychology is ‘The study of human behaviour and mental processes.

For your understanding

• Conscious mind: It is the level of mind that someone is aware of at any particular point in time.
• Unconscious mind: It contains thoughts, memories, and desires that are buried deep in us. Although we are not aware of their existence, they exert great influence on our behaviour.

Question 2.
Behaviour
Answer:
In general, behaviour is an organism’s response to various internal and external stimuli.
John Watson defined behaviour as ‘anything that can be observed, recorded and studied in human beings and animals.’ Behaviour is either overt (seen) or covert (hidden).

Question 3.
Overt behaviour
Answer:
Overt behaviour is that behaviour that is directly noticeable or observable. It includes responses such as walking, talking, dancing.

Question 4.
Covert behaviour
Answer:
Covert behaviour is that which is not directly noticeable but can be inferred from behaviour like thinking, feeling. It basically includes mental processes.

Question 5.
Stimulus
Answer:
Stimulus is defined as any physical event or condition that gives rise to a reaction. It can be external or internal.
In simple words, it is an object or event that elicits a sensory or behavioural response in an organism.

Question 6.
Response
Answer:
A response is defined as a reaction of the organism to a given stimulus. All organisms respond differently to the same stimulus.
Example:
Stimulus (S): A teacher asks students to prepare a presentation.
Organism (O): All students present in class.
Response (R):

• Some students actively participate in presentations.
• Some students remain silent as they are scared to talk in front of the entire class.

3. Answer the following questions in 35-40 words.

Question 1.
Psychology is a science: explain why?
Answer:

• Psychology is the scientific study of human behaviour and mental processes.
• Through experiments and observations, Psychologists try to analyze and predict human behaviour. This shows the empirical nature of Psychology.
• Wilhelm Wundt used scientific methods to study fundamental psychological processes. John Watson also conducted scientific research on animal behaviour and child-rearing.

Ques 2.
Explain the S-O-R model, with your own experience.
Answer:

• The S-O-R model explains how organisms respond differently to the same stimulus. It can be explained as follows:
  
• Example: Suppose Neha is an excellent orator while her friend Seema is afraid of public speaking.
  • Stimulus: The teacher asks Neha and Seema to give speeches.
  • Organism: Neha and Seema.
  • Response: Neha will confidently give her speech.
    Seema is likely to get cold feet and become nervous.
• This shows that different organisms (Neha and Seema) react differently to the same situation.

Question 3.
Explain the goals of Psychology.
Answer:

1. Describe
   • To precisely identify and classify behaviours and mental processes
   • Involves recording behaviour using various tools
2. Explain
   • To understand the causes of behaviour through meaningful explanation of facts
   • Involves the use of standardized tests
   • Behaviour observed in most people can be generalized
3. iii. Predict
   • To predict how given conditions will lead to a particular behaviour and mental processes.
   • b. Involves knowledge of possible outcomes
4. Control
   • To mould behaviour in a particular direction
   • Involves the use of psychological principles and psychotherapeutic techniques

4. Give a historical account of the emergence of Psychology as a science.
Answer:

• Psychology is a vast field studying behavioural aspects of mankind and it started as a branch of Philosophy. It evolved as a separate branch in the 19th century.
• The first attempt to define Psychology was made based on the terminology. The word ‘Psychology’ is derived from two Greek words: ‘Psyche’ (soul or mind) and ‘Logos’ (science or branch of knowledge).
• Rational sciences establish facts based on observation and experimentation. However, neither soul nor mind can be observed. Hence, the definition of Psychology changed over time.
• In the late 19th century, Wilhelm Wundt established the first psychological laboratory at Leipzig University. He defined Psychology as the study of consciousness.
• Sigmund Freud defined Psychology as the study of the unconscious while John Watson defined it as ‘Science of human behaviour’.
• The latest definition of Psychology is the ‘Study of human behaviour and processes.’
• Psychology as a discipline evolved over time.

5. Describe the goals of Psychology.
Answer:

1. Describe
   • To precisely identify and classify behaviours and mental processes
   • Involves recording behaviour using various tools
2. Explain
   • To understand the causes of behaviour through meaningful explanation of facts
   • Involves the use of standardized tests
   • Behaviour observed in most people can be generalized
3. Predict
   • To predict how given conditions will lead to a particular behaviour and mental processes.
   • Involves knowledge of possible outcomes
4. Control
   • To mould behaviour in a particular direction
   • Involves the use of psychological principles and psychotherapeutic techniques

Activities

Activity 2. (Textbook Page No. 3)

Do you agree with the definition of Psychology as the Science which deals with the soul? If yes why? If no, why?
Answer:

• No, I don’t agree with this definition since the soul refers to the spiritual part of a person; which is believed to exist in some form even after death.
• Psychology is not a spiritual science. Since it studies the mental activities and behaviour of living beings, this definition seems to be incorrect.

Activity 3 (Textbook Page No. 3)

Collect information about Bahinabai Chaudhari: Mana (description of Mind)
Answer:

• Bahinabai Chaudhari (11 Aug 1880 – 3 Dec 1951) was an illiterate cotton farmer from the Jalgaon district in Maharashtra.
• She was a famous Marathi poet. Her poems captured the essence of her life, reflect the culture of the village and farming life, and present her wisdom.
• She has beautifully compared the mind with different aspects of nature such as wind, waves, butterflies, small particles, etc. The poet stressed that the mind is a unique creation of God and nothing in this world compares to it.

Activity 5 (Textbook Page No. 4)

Do you agree with the definition that Psychology is the study of the unconscious? What could be the limitations of this definition?
Answer:
I agree with the above definition because Psychology studies unconscious behaviour. A person himself may not be aware of unconscious aspects of his personality even when it may have a significant impact on his thoughts and behaviour. Psychology enables us to understand this unconscious side of human beings and hence, I agree with this definition. However, the limitation of the definition is the unconscious mind. It can’t be observed directly and hence is difficult to study it. Furthermore, Psychology is also concerned with the study of the conscious mind.

Activity 6 (Textbook Page No. 5)

Make a note of how your friends react to the same stimulus in a different way. Example: examination.
Answer:

• Nisha and Seema are two of my friends. During the examination, Seema gets extremely tensed. She is not able to concentrate. She even fails to sleep and eat peacefully.
• She needs the constant emotional support of her parents and friends to overcome her fear.
• Conversely, Nisha views the exam as a challenge. She does not get worked up.
• Instead, her moderate tension motivates her to study sincerely.
• She also knows that failure is a part and parcel of life and tries to learn from each mistake.
• Hence, she remains calm and confident even during the exam period.

Answer:
(b) 54

(II) Solve the following:

Question 1.
Let X ~ B(10, 0.2). Find
(i) P(X = 1)
(ii) P(X ≥ 1)
(iii) P(X ≤ 8).
Solution:
X ~ B(10, 0.2)
∴ n = 10, p = 0.2
∴ q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.2 = 0.8
The p,m.f. of X is given by

Question 2.
Let X ~ B(n, p).
(i) If n = 10, E(X) = 5, find p and Var(X).
(ii) If E(X) = 5 and Var(X) = 2.5, find n and p.
Solution:
X ~ B(n, p)
(i) Given: n = 10 and E(X) = 5
But E(X) = np
∴ np = 5.
∴ 10p = 5
∴ p = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Var(X) = npq = 10(\(\frac{1}{2}\))(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = 2.5.
Hence, p = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and Var(X) = 2.5

(ii) Given: E(X) = 5 and Var(X) = 2.5
∴ np = 5 and npq = 2.5
∴ \(\frac{n p q}{n p}=\frac{2.5}{5}\)
∴ q = 0.5 = \(\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ p = 1 – q = 1 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Substituting p = \(\frac{1}{2}\) in np = 5, we get
n(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = 5
∴ n = 10
Hence, n = 10 and p = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Question 3.
If a fair coin is tossed 10 times and the probability that it shows heads (i) 5 times (ii) in the first four tosses and tail in the last six tosses.
Solution:
Let X = number of heads.
p = probability that coin tossed shows a head
∴ p = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Given: n = 10
∴ X ~ B(10, \(\frac{1}{2}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given by
P(X = x) = \({ }^{n} C_{x} P^{x} q^{n-x}\)

(i) P(coin shows heads 5 times) = P[X = 5]

Hence, the probability that can shows heads exactly 5 times = \(\frac{63}{256}\)

(ii) P(getting heads in first four tosses and tails in last six tosses) = P(X = 4)

Hence, the probability that getting heads in first four tosses and tails in last six tosses = \(\frac{105}{512}\).

Question 4.
The probability that a bomb will hit a target is 0.8. Find the probability that out of 10 bombs dropped, exactly 2 will miss the target.
Solution:
Let X = the number of bombs hitting the target.
p = probability that bomb will hit the target
∴ p = 0.8 = \(\frac{8}{10}=\frac{4}{5}\)
∴ q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{4}{5}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
Given: n = 10
∴ X ~ B(10, \(\frac{4}{5}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given as:
P[X = x] = \({ }^{n} \mathrm{C}_{x} p^{x} q^{n-x}\)
i.e.p(x) = \({ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{x}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{x}\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{10-x}\)
P(exactly 2 bombs will miss the target) = P(exactly 8 bombs will hit the target)
= P[X = 8]
= p(8)

Hence, the probability that exactly 2 bombs will miss the target = 45\(\left(\frac{2^{16}}{5^{10}}\right)\)

Question 5.
The probability that a mountain bike travelling along a certain track will have a tire burst is 0.05. Find the probability that among 17 riders:
(i) exactly one has a burst tyre
(ii) at most three have a burst tyre
(iii) two or more have burst tyres.
Solution:
Let X = number of burst tyres.
p = probability that a mountain bike travelling along a certain track will have a tyre burst.
∴ p = 0.05
∴ q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.05 = 0.95
Given: n = 17
∴ X ~ B(17, 0.05)
The p.m.f. of X is given by
P(X = x) = \({ }^{n} \mathrm{C}_{x} P^{x} q^{n-x}\)
i.e.(x) = \({ }^{17} \mathrm{C}_{x}(0.05)^{x}(0.95)^{17-x}\), x = 0, 1, 2, ……, 17
(i) P(exactly one has a burst tyre)
P(X = 1) = p(1) = \({ }^{17} \mathrm{C}_{1}\) (0.05)¹ (0.95)^17-1
= 17(0.05) (0.95)¹⁶
= 0.85(0.95)¹⁶
Hence, the probability that riders has exactly one burst tyre = (0.85)(0.95)¹⁶

(ii) P(at most three have a burst tyre) = P(X ≤ 3)
= P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)
= p(0) + p(1) + p(2) + p(3)


Hence, the probability that at most three riders have burst tyre = (2.0325)(0.95)¹⁴.

(iii) P(two or more have tyre burst) = P(X ≥ 2)
= 1 – P(X < 2)
= 1 – [P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)]
= 1 – [p(0) + p(1)]
= 1 – [\({ }^{17} \mathrm{C}_{0}\) (0.05)⁰ (0.95)¹⁷ + \({ }^{17} \mathrm{C}_{1}\) (0.05)(0.95)¹⁶]
= 1 – [1(1)(0.95)¹⁷ + 17(0.05)(0.95)¹⁶]
= 1 – (0.95)¹⁶[0.95 + 0.85]
= 1 – (1.80)(0.95)¹⁶
= 1 – (1.8)(0.95)¹⁶
Hence, the probability that two or more riders have tyre burst = 1 – (1.8)(0.95)¹⁶.

Question 6.
The probability that a lamp in a classroom will be burnt out is 0.3. Six such lamps are fitted in the classroom. If it is known that the classroom is unusable if the number of lamps burning in it is less than four, find the probability that the classroom cannot be used on a random occasion.
Solution:
Let X = number of lamps burnt out in the classroom.
p = probability of a lamp in a classroom will be burnt
∴ p = 0.3 = \(\frac{3}{10}\)
∴ q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{3}{10}\) = \(\frac{7}{10}\)
Given: n = 6
∴ X ~ B(6, \(\frac{3}{10}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given as:
P[X = x] = \({ }^{n} \mathrm{C}_{x} p^{x} q^{n-x}\)
i.e., p(x) = \({ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{x}\left(\frac{3}{10}\right)^{x}\left(\frac{7}{10}\right)^{6-x}\)
Since the classroom is unusable if the number of lamps burning in it is less than four, therefore
P(classroom cannot be used) = P[X < 4]
= P[X = 0] + P[X = 1] + P[X = 2] + P[X = 3]
= p(0) + p(1) + p(2) + p(3)

Hence, the probability that the classroom cannot be used on a random occasion is 0.92953.

Question 7.
A lot of 100 items contain 10 defective items. Five items are selected at random from the lot and sent to the retail store. What is the probability that the store will receive at most one defective item?
Solution:
Let X = number of defective items.
p = probability that item is defective
∴ p = \(\frac{10}{100}=\frac{1}{10}\)
∴ q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{10}\) = \(\frac{9}{10}\)
Given: n = 5
∴ X ~ B(5, \(\frac{1}{10}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given as:
P[X = x] = \({ }^{n} \mathrm{C}_{x} p^{x} q^{n-x}\)
i.e., p(x) = \({ }^{5} C_{x}\left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^{x}\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^{5-x}\)
P (store will receive at most one defective item) = P[X ≤ 1]
=P[X = 0] + P[X = 1]
= p(0) + p(1)

Hence, the probability that the store will receive at most one defective item is (1.4)(0.9)⁴.

Question 8.
A large chain retailer purchases a certain kind of electronic device from a manufacturer. The manufacturer indicates that the defective rate of the device is 3%. The inspector of the retailer picks 20 items from a shipment. What is the probability that the store will receive at most one defective item?
Solution:
Let X = number of defective electronic devices.
p = probability that device is defective
∴ p = 3% = \(\frac{3}{100}\)
∴ q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{3}{100}\) = \(\frac{97}{100}\)
Given: n = 20
∴ X ~ B(20, \(\frac{3}{100}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given as:

Hence, the probability that the store will receive at most one defective item = (1.57)(0.97)¹⁹.

Question 9.
The probability that a certain kind of component will survive a check test is 0.6. Find the probability that exactly 2 of the next 4 tested components tested survive.
Solution:
Let X = number of tested components survive.
p = probability that the component survives the check test

Hence, the probability that exactly 2 of the 4 tested components survive is 0.3456.

Question 10.
An examination consists of 10 multiple choice questions, in each of which a candidate has to deduce which one of five suggested answers is correct. A completely unprepared student guesses each answer completely randomly. What is the probability that this student gets 8 or more questions correct? Draw the appropriate moral.
Solution:
Let X = number of correct answers.
p = probability that student gets correct answer
∴ p = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
∴ q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{5}\) = \(\frac{4}{5}\)
Given: n = 10 (number of total questions)
∴ X ~ B(10, \(\frac{1}{5}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given by

Hence, the probability that student gets 8 or more questions correct = \(\frac{30.44}{5^{8}}\)

Question 11.
The probability that a machine will produce all bolts in a production run within specification is 0.998. A sample of 8 machines is taken at random. Calculate the probability that (i) all 8 machines (ii) 7 or 8 machines (iii) at most 6 machines will produce all bolts within specification.
Solution:
Let X = number of machines which produce the bolts within specification.
p = probability that a machine produce bolts within specification
p = 0.998 and q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.998 = 0.002
Given: n = 8
∴ X ~ B(8, 0.998)
The p.m.f. of X is given by
P(X = x) = \({ }^{n} \mathrm{C}_{x} p^{x} q^{n-x}\)
i.e. p(x) = \({ }^{8} \mathrm{C}_{x}(0.998)^{x}(0.002)^{8-x}\), x = 0, 1, 2, …, 8
(i) P(all 8 machines will produce all bolts within specification) = P[X = 8]
= p(8)
= \({ }^{8} \mathrm{C}_{8}\) (0.998)⁸ (0.002)^8-8
= 1(0.998)⁸ . (1)
= (0.998)⁸
Hence, the probability that all 8 machines produce all bolts with specification = (0.998)⁸.

(ii) P(7 or 8 machines will produce all bolts within i specification) = P (X = 7) + P (X = 8)

Hence, the probability that 7 or 8 machines produce all bolts within specification = (1.014)(0.998)⁷.

(iii) P(at most 6 machines will produce all bolts with specification) = P[X ≤ 6]
= 1 – P[x > 6]
= 1 – [P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)]
= 1 – [P(7) + P(8)]
= 1 – (1.014)(0.998)⁷
Hence, the probability that at most 6 machines will produce all bolts with specification = 1 – (1.014)(0.998)⁷.

Question 12.
The probability that a machine develops a fault within the first 3 years of use is 0.003. If 40 machines are selected at random, calculate the probability that 38 or more will develop any faults within the first 3 years of use.
Solution:
Let X = the number of machines who develop a fault.
p = probability that a machine develops a fait within the first 3 years of use
∴ p = 0.003 and q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.003 = 0.997
Given: n = 40
∴ X ~ B(40, 0.003)
The p.m.f. of X is given by

Hence, the probability that 38 or more machines will develop the fault within 3 years of use = (775.44)(0.003)³⁸.

Question 13.
A computer installation has 10 terminals. Independently, the probability that anyone terminal will require attention during a week is 0.1. Find the probabilities that (i) 0 (ii) 1 (iii) 2 (iv) 3 or more, terminals will require attention during the next week.
Solution:
Let X = number of terminals which required attention during a week.
p = probability that any terminal will require attention during a week
∴ p = 0.1 and q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.1 = 0.9
Given: n = 10
∴ X ~ B(10, 0.1)
The p.m.f. of X is given by
P(X = x) = \({ }^{n} \mathrm{C}_{x} p^{x} q^{n-x}\)
i.e. p(x) = \({ }^{10} C_{x}(0.1)^{x}(0.9)^{10-x}\), x = 0, 1, 2, …, 10
(i) P(no terminal will require attention) = P(X = 0)

Hence, the probability that no terminal requires attention = (0.9)¹⁰

(ii) P(1 terminal will require attention)

Hence, the probability that 1 terminal requires attention = (0.9)⁹.

(iii) P(2 terminals will require attention)

Hence, the probability that 2 terminals require attention = (0.45)(0.9)⁸.

(iv) P(3 or more terminals will require attention)

Hence, the probability that 3 or more terminals require attention = 1 – (2.16) × (0.9)⁸.

Question 14.

p = probability that pupils like Mathematics

(i) The probabilities of obtaining an answer yes from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 of pupils are P(X = 0), P(X = 1), P(X = 2), P(X = 3) and P(X = 4) respectively

(ii) (a) P(visitor obtains the answer yes from at least 2 pupils when the number of pupils questioned remains at 4) = P(X ≥ 2)
= P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

(b) P(the visitor obtains the answer yes from at least 2 pupils when number of pupils questioned is increased to 8)

Question 15.
It is observed that it rains 12 days out of 30 days. Find the probability that
(i) it rains exactly 3 days of the week.
(ii) it will rain at least 2 days of a given week.
Solution:
Let X = the number of days it rains in a week.
p = probability that it rains

(i) P(it rains exactly 3 days of week) = P(X = 3)

Hence, the probability that it rains exactly 3 days of week = 0.2903.

(ii) P(it will rain at least 2 days of the given week)

Hence, the probability that it rains at least 2 days of a given week = 0.8414

Question 16.
If the probability of success in a single trial is 0.01. How many trials are required in order to have a probability greater than 0.5 of getting at least one success?
Solution:
Let X = number of successes.
p = probability of success in a single trial
∴ p = 0.01
and q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.01 = 0.99
∴ X ~ B(n, 0.01)
The p.m.f. of X is given by
P(X = x) = \({ }^{n} \mathrm{C}_{x} p^{x} q^{n-x}\)

Hence, the number of trials required in order to have a probability greater than 0.5 of getting at least one success is \(\frac{\log 0.5}{\log 0.99}\) or 68.

Question 17.
In binomial distribution with five Bernoulli’s trials, the probability of one and two success are 0.4096 and 0.2048 respectively. Find the probability of success.
Solution:
Given: X ~ B(n = 5, p)

Question 1.
A die is thrown 6 times. If ‘getting an odd number’ is a success, find the probability of
(i) 5 successes
(ii) at least 5 successes
(iii) at most 5 successes.
Solution:
Let X = number of successes, i.e. number of odd numbers.
p = probability of getting an odd number in a single throw of a die
∴ p = \(\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}\) and q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Given: n = 6
∴ X ~ B(6, \(\frac{1}{2}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given by

Hence, the probability of 5 successes is \(\frac{3}{32}\).

(ii) P(at least 5 successes) = P[X ≥ 5]
= p(5) + p(6)

Hence, the probability of at least 5 successes is \(\frac{7}{64}\).

(iii) P(at most 5 successes) = P[X ≤ 5]
= 1 – P[X > 5]

Hence, the probability of at most 5 successes is \(\frac{63}{64}\).

Question 2.
A pair of dice is thrown 4 times. If getting a doublet is considered a success, find the probability of two successes.
Solution:
Let X = number of doublets.
p = probability of getting a doublet when a pair of dice is thrown
∴ p = \(\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\) and
q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{6}\) = \(\frac{5}{6}\)
Given: n = 4
∴ X ~ B(4, \(\frac{1}{6}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given by

Hence, the probability of two successes is \(\frac{25}{216}\).

Question 3.
There are 5% defective items in a large bulk of items. What is the probability that a sample of 10 items will include not more than one defective item?
Solution:
Let X = number of defective items.
p = probability of defective item
∴ p = 5% = \(\frac{5}{100}=\frac{1}{20}\)
and q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{20}\) = \(\frac{19}{20}\)
∴ X ~ B(10, \(\frac{1}{20}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given by

P(sample of 10 items will include not more than one defective item) = P[X ≤ 1]

Hence, the probability that a sample of 10 items will include not more than one defective item = 29\(\left(\frac{19^{9}}{20^{10}}\right)\).

Question 4.
Five cards are drawn successively with replacement from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards, find the probability that
(i) all the five cards are spades
(ii) only 3 cards are spades
(iii) none is a spade.
Solution:
Let X = number of spade cards.
p = probability of drawing a spade card from a pack of 52 cards.
Since there are 13 spade cards in the pack of 52 cards.
∴ p = \(\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}\) and
q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
Given: n = 5
∴ X ~ B(5, \(\frac{1}{4}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given by

(i) P(all five cards are spade)

Hence, the probability of all the five cards are spades = \(\frac{1}{1024}\)

(ii) P(only 3 cards are spade) = P[X = 3]

Hence, the probability of only 3 cards are spades = \(\frac{45}{512}\)

(iii) P(none of cards is spade) = P[X = 0]

Hence, the probability of none of the cards is a spade = \(\frac{243}{1024}\)

Question 5.
The probability of a bulb produced by a factory will fuse after 150 days of use is 0.05. Find the probability that out of 5 such bulbs
(i) none
(ii) not more than one
(iii) more than one
(iv) at least one, will fuse after 150 days of use.
Solution:
Let X = number of fuse bulbs.
p = probability of a bulb produced by a factory will fuse after 150 days of use.
∴ p = 0.05
and q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.05 = 0.95
Given: n = 5
∴ X ~ B(5, 0.05)
The p.m.f. of X is given by
P(X = x) = \({ }^{n} \mathrm{C}_{x} p^{x} q^{n-x}\)
i.e. p(x) = \({ }^{5} C_{x}(0.05)^{x}(0.95)^{5-x}\), x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
(i) P(none of a bulb produced by a factory will fuse after 150 days of use) = P[X = 0]
= p(0)
= \({ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{0}(0.05)^{0}(0.95)^{5-0}\)
= 1 × 1 × (0.95)⁵
= (0.95)⁵
Hence, the probability that none of the bulbs will fuse after 150 days = (0.95)⁵.

(ii) P(not more than one bulb will fuse after 150 days of j use) = P[X ≤ 1]
= p(0) + p(1)
= \({ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{0} \cdot(0.05)^{0}(0.95)^{5-0}+{ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{1}(0.05)^{1}(0.95)^{4}\)
= 1 × 1 × (0.95)⁵ + 5 × (0.05) × (0.95)⁴
= (0.95)⁴ [0.95 + 5(0.05)]
= (0.95)⁴ (0.95 + 0.25)
= (0.95)⁴ (1.20)
= (1.2) (0.95)⁴
Hence, the probability that not more than one bulb will fuse after 150 days = (1.2)(0.95)⁴.

(iii) P(more than one bulb fuse after 150 days)
= P[X > 1]
= 1 – P[X ≤ 1]
= 1 – (1.2)(0.95)⁴
Hence, the probability that more than one bulb fuse after 150 days = 1 – (1.2)(0.95)⁴.

(iv) P(at least one bulb fuse after 150 days)
= P[X ≥ 1]
= 1 – P[X = 0]
= 1 – p(0)
= 1 – \({ }^{5} C_{0}(0.05)^{0}(0.95)^{5-0}\)
= 1 – 1 × 1 × (0.95)⁵
= 1 – (0.95)⁵
Hence, the probability that at least one bulb fuses after 150 days = 1 – (0.95)⁵.

Question 6.
A bag consists of 10 balls each marked with one of the digits 0 to 9. If four balls are drawn successively with replacement from the bag, what is the probability that none is marked with the digit 0?
Solution:
Let X = number of balls marked with digit 0.
p = probability of drawing a ball from 10 balls marked with the digit 0.
∴ p = \(\frac{1}{10}\)
and q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{10}\) = \(\frac{9}{10}\)
The p.m.f. of X is given by

P(none of the ball marked with digit 0) = P(X = 0)

Hence, the probability that none of the bulb marked with digit 0 is \(\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^{4}\)

Question 7.
On a multiple-choice examination with three possible answers for each of the five questions. What is the probability that a candidate would get four or more correct answers just by guessing?
Solution:
Let X = number of correct answers.
p = probability that a candidate gets a correct answer from three possible answers.
∴ p = \(\frac{1}{3}\) and q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Given: n = 5
∴ X ~ B(5, \(\frac{1}{3}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given by

P(four or more correct answers) = P[X ≥ 4]
= p(4) + p(5)

Hence, the probability of getting four or more correct answers = \(\frac{11}{243}\).

Question 8.
A person buys a lottery ticket in 50 lotteries, in each of which his chance of winning a prize is \(\frac{1}{100}\), find the probability that he will win a prize
(i) at least once
(ii) exactly once
(iii) at least twice.
Solution:
Let X = number of winning prizes.
p = probability of winning a prize
∴ p = \(\frac{1}{100}\)
and q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{100}\) = \(\frac{99}{100}\)
Given: n = 50
∴ X ~ B(50, \(\frac{1}{100}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given by
\(P(X=x)={ }^{n} C_{x} p^{x} q^{n-x}\)
i.e., p(x) = \({ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_{x}\left(\frac{1}{100}\right)^{x}\left(\frac{99}{100}\right)^{50-x}\), x = 0, 1, 2,… 50
(i) P(a person wins a prize at least once)

Hence, probability of winning a prize at least once = 1 – \(\left(\frac{99}{100}\right)^{50}\)

(ii) P(a person wins exactly one prize) = P[X = 1] = p(1)

Hence, probability of winning a prize exactly once = \(\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{99}{100}\right)^{49}\)

(iii) P(a persons wins the prize at least twice) = P[X ≥ 2]
= 1 – P[X < 2]
= 1 – [p(0) + p(1)]

Hence, the probability of winning the prize at least twice = 1 – 149\(\left(\frac{99^{49}}{100^{50}}\right)\).

Question 9.
In a box of floppy discs, it is known that 95% will work. A sample of three of the discs is selected at random. Find the probability that (i) none (ii) 1 (iii) 2 (iv) all 3 of the sample will work.
Solution:
Let X = number of working discs.
p = probability that a floppy disc works
∴ p = 95% = \(\frac{95}{100}=\frac{19}{20}\)
and q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{19}{20}\) = \(\frac{1}{20}\)
Given: n = 3
∴ X ~ B(3, \(\frac{19}{20}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given by

(i) P(none of the floppy discs work) = P(X = 0)

Hence, the probability that none of the floppy disc will work = \(\frac{1}{20^{3}}\).

(ii) P(exactly one floppy disc works) = P(X = 1)

Hence, the probability that exactly one floppy disc works = 3\(\left(\frac{19}{20^{3}}\right)\)

(iii) P(exactly two floppy discs work) = P(X = 2)

Hence, the probability that exactly 2 floppy discs work = 3\(\left(\frac{19^{2}}{20^{3}}\right)\)

(iv) P(all 3 floppy discs work) = P(X = 3)

Hence, the probability that all 3 floppy discs work = \(\left(\frac{19}{20}\right)^{3}\).

Question 10.
Find the probability of throwing at most 2 sixes in 6 throws of a single die.
Solution:
Let X = number of sixes.
p = probability that a die shows six in a single throw
∴ p = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
and q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{6}\) = \(\frac{5}{6}\)
Given: n = 6
∴ X ~ B(6, \(\frac{1}{6}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given by


Hence, probability of throwing at most 2 sixes = \(\frac{7}{3}\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{5}\).

Question 11.
It is known that 10% of certain articles manufactured are defective. What is the probability that in a random sample of 12 such articles, 9 are defective?
Solution:
Let X = number of defective articles.
p = probability of defective articles.
∴ p = 10% = \(\frac{10}{100}=\frac{1}{10}\)
and q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{1}{10}\) = \(\frac{9}{10}\)
Given: n = 12
∴ X ~ B(12, \(\frac{1}{10}\))
The p.m.f. of X is given by

Hence, the probability of getting 9 defective articles = \(22\left(\frac{9^{3}}{10^{11}}\right)\)

Question 12.
Given X ~ B(n, P)
(i) If n = 10 and p = 0.4, find E(x) and Var(X).
(ii) If p = 0.6 and E(X) = 6, find n and Var(X).
(iii) If n = 25, E(X) = 10, find p and SD(X).
(iv) If n = 10, E(X) = 8, find Var(X).
Solution:
(i) Given: n = 10 and p = 0.4
∴ q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.4 = 0.6
∴ E(X) = np = 10(0.4) = 4
Var(X) = npq = 10(0.4)(0.6) = 2.4
Hence, E(X) = 4, Var(X) = 2.4.

(ii) Given: p = 0.6, E (X) = 6
E(X) = np
6 = n(0.6)
n = \(\frac{6}{0.6}\) = 10
Now, q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.6 = 0.4
∴ Var(X) = npq = 10(0.6)(0.4) = 2.4
Hence, n = 10 and Var(X) = 2.4.

(iii) Given: n = 25, E(X) = 10
E(X) = np
10 = 25p
p = \(\frac{10}{25}=\frac{2}{5}\)
∴ q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{2}{5}\) = \(\frac{3}{5}\)
Var(X) = npq = \(25 \times \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{5}\) = 6
∴ SD(X) = √Var(X) = √6
Hence, p = \(\frac{2}{5}\) and S.D.(X) = √6.

(iv) Given: n = 10, E(X) = 8
E(X) = np
8 = 10p
p = \(\frac{8}{10}=\frac{4}{5}\)
q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{4}{5}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
Var(X) = npq = \(10\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)=\frac{8}{5}\)
Hence, Var(X) = \(\frac{8}{5}\).

(v) A highway-safety group is interested in studying the speed (in km/hr) of a car at a checkpoint.
Solution:
(i) Let X = number of unemployed graduates in a town.
Since the population of the town is 1 lakh, X takes the finite values.
∴ random variable X is discrete.
Range = {0, 1, 2, …, 99999, 100000}.

∴ random variable X is continuous.

(iv) Let X = number of female rats selected on a specific day.
Since the total number of rats is 20 which includes 12 males and 8 females, X takes the finite values.
∴ random variable X is discrete.
Range = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

(v) Let X = speed of .the car in km/hr.

= 0.20 + 0.25 + 0.15 + 0.1
= 0.70

(iii) P(X is odd)
= P(X = -3) + P(X = -1) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 3)
= 0.05 + 0.15 + 0.25 + 0.1
= 0.55

(iv) P(X is even)
= P(X = -2) + P(X = 0) + P(X = 2)
= 0.10 + 0.20 + 0.15
= 0.45.

Question 4.
The p.m.f. of a r.v. X is given by P(X = x) = x = \(\frac{{ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{x}}}{2^{5}}\), for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and = 0, otherwise. Then show that P(X ≤ 2) = P(X ≥ 3).
Solution:
P(X ≤ 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)
= \(\frac{{ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{0}}{2^{5}}+\frac{{ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{2^{5}}+\frac{{ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{2}}{2^{5}}\)
= \(\frac{{ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{5}}{2^{5}}+\frac{{ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{4}}{2^{5}}+\frac{{ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{3}}{2^{5}}\) ………[latex]{ }^{n} \mathrm{C}_{r}={ }^{n} \mathrm{C}_{n-r}[/latex]
= P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3)
= P(X ≥ 3)
∴ P(X ≤ 2) = P(X ≥ 3).

Question 5.
In the p.m.f. of r.v. X

Find a and obtain c.d.f. of X.
Solution:
For p.m.f. of a r.v. X
\(\sum_{i=1}^{5} P(X=x)=1\)
∴ P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 1

Let F(x) be the c.d.f. of X.
Then F(x) = P(X ≤ x)
∴ F(1) = P(X ≤ 1) = P(X = 1) = \(\frac{1}{20}\)
F(2) = P(X ≤ 2) = P(X = 1) + P (X = 2)
\(=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{3}{20}=\frac{4}{20}=\frac{1}{5}\)
P(3) = P(X ≤ 3) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)
\(=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{3}{20}+\frac{5}{20}=\frac{9}{20}\)
F(4) = P(X ≤ 4) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)
\(=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{3}{20}+\frac{5}{20}+\frac{10}{20}=\frac{19}{20}\)
F(5) = P(X ≤ 5) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)
\(=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{3}{20}+\frac{5}{20}+\frac{10}{20}+\frac{1}{20}=\frac{20}{20}=1\)
Hence, the c.d.f. of the random variable X is as follows:

Question 6.
A fair coin is tossed 4 times. Let X denote the number of heads obtained. Write down the probability distribution of X. Also, find the formula for p.m.f. of X.
Solution:
When a fair coin is tossed 4 times then the sample space is
S = {HHHH, HHHT, HHTH, HTHH, THHH, HHTT, HTHT, HTTH, THHT, THTH, TTHH, HTTT, THTT, TTHT, TTTH, TTTT}
∴ n(S) = 16
X denotes the number of heads.
∴ X can take the value 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
When X = 0, then X = {TTTT}
∴ n (X) = 1
∴ P(X = 0) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{16}=\frac{{ }^{4} \mathrm{C}_{0}}{16}\)
When X = 1, then
X = {HTTT, THTT, TTHT, TTTH}
∴ n(X) = 4
∴ P(X = 1) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{{ }^{4} C_{1}}{16}\)
When X = 2, then
X = {HHTT, HTHT, HTTH, THHT, THTH, TTHH}
∴ n(X) = 6
∴ P(X = 2) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{16}=\frac{{ }^{4} \mathrm{C}_{2}}{16}\)
When X = 3, then
X = {HHHT, HHTH, HTHH, THHH}
∴ n(X) = 4
∴ P(X = 3) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{{ }^{4} C_{3}}{16}\)
When X = 4, then X = {HHHH}
∴ n(X) = 1
∴ P(X = 4) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{16}=\frac{{ }^{4} \mathrm{C}_{4}}{16}\)
∴ the probability distribution of X is as follows:

Also, the formula for p.m.f. of X is
P(x) = \(\frac{{ }^{4} \mathrm{C}_{x}}{16}\), x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and = 0, otherwise.

Question 7.
Find the probability distribution of the number of successes in two tosses of a die, where success is defined as
(i) number greater than 4
(ii) six appear on at least one die.
Solution:
When a die is tossed two times, we obtain (6 × 6) = 36 number of observations.
Let X be the random variable, which represents the number of successes.
Here, success refers to the number greater than 4.
P(X = 0) = P(number less than or equal to 4 on both the tosses)
= \(\frac{4}{6} \times \frac{4}{6}=\frac{16}{36}=\frac{4}{9}\)
P(X = 1) = P(number less than or equal to 4 on first toss and greater than 4 on second toss) + P(number greater than 4 on first toss and less than or equal to 4 on second toss)
= \(\frac{4}{6} \times \frac{2}{6}+\frac{4}{6} \times \frac{2}{6}\)
= \(\frac{8}{36}+\frac{8}{36}\)
= \(\frac{16}{36}\)
= \(\frac{4}{9}\)
P(X = 2) = P(number greater than 4 on both the tosses)
= \(\frac{2}{6} \times \frac{2}{6}=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}\)
Thus, the probability distribution is as follows:

(ii) Here, success means six appears on at least one die.
P(Y = 0) = P(six appears on none of the dice) = \(\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6}=\frac{25}{36}\)
P(Y = 1) = P(six appears on none of the dice x six appears on at least one of the dice ) + P(six appears on none of the dice x six appears on at least one of the dice)
= \(\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{5}{6}+\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{5}{6}=\frac{5}{36}+\frac{5}{36}=\frac{10}{36}\)
P(Y = 2) = P(six appears on at least one of the dice) = \(\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{36}\)
Thus, the required probability distribution is as follows:

Question 8.
A random variable X has the following probability distribution:

Determine:
(i) k
(ii) P(X > 6)
(iii) P(0 < X < 3).

Question 9.
The following is the c.d.f. of a r.v. X:

Find
(i) p.m.f. of X
(ii) P( -1 ≤ X ≤ 2)
(iii) P(X ≤ X > 0).
Solution:
(i) From the given table
F(-3) = 0.1, F(-2) = 0.3, F(-1) = 0.5
F(0) = 0.65, f(1) = 0.75, F(2) = 0.85
F(3) = 0.9, F(4) = 1
P(X = -3) = F(-3) = 0.1
P(X = -2) = F(-2) – F(-3) = 0.3 – 0.1 = 0.2
P(X = -1) = F(-1) – F(-2) = 0.5 – 0.3 = 0.2
P(X = 0) = F(0) – F(-1) = 0.65 – 0.5 = 0.15
P(X = 1) = F(1) – F(0) = 0.75 – 0.65 = 0.1
P(X = 2) = F(2) – F(1) = 0.85 – 0.75 = 0.1
P(X = 3) = F(3) – F(2) = 0.9 – 0.85 = 0.1
P(X = 4) = F(4) – F(3) = 1 – 0.9 = 0.1
∴ the p.m.f of X is as follows:

(ii) P(-1 ≤ X ≤ 2) = P(X = -1) + P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)
= 0.2 + 0.15 + 0.1 + 0.1
= 0.55

(iii) (X ≤ 3) ∩ (X > 0)
= { -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3} n {1, 2, 3, 4}
= {1, 2, 3}

Question 11.
A player tosses two wins. He wins ₹ 10 if 2 heads appear, ₹ 5 if 1 head appears and ₹ 2 if no head appears. Find the expected winning amount and variance of the winning amount.
Solution:
When a coin is tossed twice, the sample space is
S = {HH, HT, TH, HH}
Let X denote the amount he wins.
Then X takes values 10, 5, 2.
P(X = 10) = P(2 heads appear) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
P(X = 5) = P(1 head appears) = \(\frac{2}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
P(X = 2) = P(no head appears) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
We construct the following table to calculate the mean and the variance of X:

From the table Σx_i . P(x_i) = 5.5, \(\Sigma x_{i}^{2} \cdot P\left(x_{i}\right)\) = 38.5
E(X) = Σx_i . P(x_i) = 5.5
Var(X) = \(\Sigma x_{i}^{2} \cdot P\left(x_{i}\right)\) – [E(X)]²
= 38.5 – (5.5)²
= 38.5 – 30.25
= 8.25
∴ Hence, expected winning amount = ₹ 5.5 and variance of winning amount = ₹ 8.25.

Question 12.
Let the p.m.f. of r.v. X be P(x) = \(\frac{3-x}{10}\), for x = -1, 0, 1, 2 and = 0, otherwise.
Calculate E(X) and Var(X).
Solution:
P(X) = \(\frac{3-x}{10}\)
X takes values -1, 0, 1, 2
P(X = -1) = P(-1) = \(\frac{3+1}{10}=\frac{4}{10}\)
P(X = 0) = P(0) = \(\frac{3-0}{10}=\frac{3}{10}\)
P(X = 1) = P(1) = \(\frac{3-1}{10}=\frac{2}{10}\)
P(X = 2) = P(2) = \(\frac{3-2}{10}=\frac{1}{10}\)
We construct the following table to calculate the mean and variance of X:

From the table
Σx_iP(x_i) = 0 and \(\Sigma x_{i}{ }^{2} \cdot P\left(x_{i}\right)\) = 1
E(X) = Σx_iP(x_i) = 0
Var(X) = \(\Sigma x_{i}{ }^{2} \cdot P\left(x_{i}\right)\) – [E(X)]²
= 1 – 0
= 1
Hence, E(X) = 0, Var (X) = 1.

Question 13.
Suppose the error involved in making a certain measurement is a continuous r.v. X with p.d.f.
f(x) = k(4 – x²), -2 ≤ x ≤ 2 and = 0 otherwise.
Compute
(i) P(X > 0)
(ii) P(-1 < X < 1)
(iii) P(X < -0.5 or X > 0.5).
Solution:
(i) P(X > 0)


(ii) P(-1 < X < 1)


(iii) P(X < -0.5 or X > 0.5)

Question 14.

Solution:

12th Maths Part 2 Probability Distributions Exercise 7.1 Questions And Answers Maharashtra Board

Question 1.
Let X represent the difference between a number of heads and the number of tails when a coin is tossed 6 times. What are the possible values of X?
Solution:
When a coin is tossed 6 times, the number of heads can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
The corresponding number of tails will be 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
∴ X can take values 0 – 6, 1 – 5, 2 – 4, 3 – 3, 4 – 2, 5 – 1, 6 – 0
i.e. -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6.
∴ X = {-6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6}.

Question 2.
An urn contains 5 red and 2 black balls. Two balls are drawn at random. X denotes the number of black balls drawn. What are the possible values of X?
Solution:
The urn contains 5 red and 2 black balls.
If two balls are drawn from the urn, it contains either 0 or 1 or 2 black balls.
X can take values 0, 1, 2.
∴ X = {0, 1, 2}.

Question 3.
State which of the following are not the probability mass function of a random variable. Give reasons for your answer.

Solution:
P.m.f. of random variable should satisfy the following conditions:
(a) 0 ≤ p_i ≤ 1
(b) Σp_i = 1.

(i)

(a) Here 0 ≤ p_i ≤ 1
(b) Σp_i = 0.4 + 0.4 + 0.2 = 1
Hence, P(X) can be regarded as p.m.f. of the random variable X.

(ii)

P(X = 3) = -0.1, i.e. P_i < 0 which does not satisfy 0 ≤ P_i ≤ 1
Hence, P(X) cannot be regarded as p.m.f. of the random variable X.

(iii)

(a) Here 0 ≤ p_i ≤ 1
(b) ∑p_i = 0.1 + 0.6 + 0.3 = 1
Hence, P(X) can be regarded as p.m.f. of the random variable X.

(iv)

Here ∑p_i = 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.4 + 0 + 0.05 = 0.95 ≠ 1
Hence, P(Z) cannot be regarded as p.m.f. of the random variable Z.

(v)

Here ∑p_i = 0.6 + 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.9 ≠ 1
Hence, P(Y) cannot be regarded as p.m.f. of the random variable Y.

(vi)

(a) Here 0 ≤ p_i ≤ 1
(b) ∑p_i = 0.3 + 0.4 + 0.3 = 1
Hence, P(X) can be regarded as p.m.f. of the random variable X.

Question 4.
Find the probability distribution of
(i) number of heads in two tosses of a coin.
(ii) number of tails in the simultaneous tosses of three coins.
(iii) number of heads in four tosses of a coin.
Solution:
(i) For two tosses of a coin the sample space is {HH, HT, TH, TT}
Let X denote the number of heads in two tosses of a coin.
Then X can take values 0, 1, 2.
∴ P[X = 0] = P(0) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
P[X = 1] = P(1) = \(\frac{2}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
P[X = 2] = P(2) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
∴ the required probability distribution is

(ii) When three coins are tossed simultaneously, then the sample space is
{HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}
Let X denotes the number of tails.
Then X can take the value 0, 1, 2, 3.
∴ P[X = 0] = P(0) = \(\frac{1}{8}\)
P[X = 1] = P(1) = \(\frac{3}{8}\)
P[X = 2] = P(2) = \(\frac{3}{8}\)
P[X = 3] = P(3) = \(\frac{1}{8}\)
∴ the required probability distribution is

(iii) When a fair coin is tossed 4 times, then the sample space is
S = {HHHH, HHHT, HHTH, HTHH, THHH, HHTT, HTHT, HTTH, THHT, THTH, TTHH, HTTT, THTT, TTHT, TTTH, TTTT}
∴ n(S) = 16
Let X denotes the number of heads.
Then X can take the value 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
When X = 0, then X = {TTTT}
∴ n(X) = 1
∴ P(X = 0) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{16}\)
When X = 1, then
X = {HTTT, THTT, TTHT, TTTH}
∴ n(X) = 4
∴ P(X = 1) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}\)
When X = 2, then
X = {HHTT, HTHT, HTTH, THHT, THTH, TTHH}
∴ n(X) = 6
∴ P(X = 2) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{16}=\frac{3}{8}\)
When X = 3, then
X = {HHHT, HHTH, HTHH, THHH}
∴ n(X) = 4
∴ P(X = 3) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}\)
When X = 4, then X = {HHHH}
∴ n(X) = 1
∴ P(X = 4) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{16}\)
∴ the probability distribution of X is as follows:

Question 5.
Find the probability distribution of a number of successes in two tosses of a die, where success is defined as a number greater than 4 appearing on at least one die.
Solution:
When a die is tossed twice, the sample space s has 6 × 6 = 36 sample points.
∴ n(S) = 36
The trial will be a success if the number on at least one die is 5 or 6.
Let X denote the number of dice on which 5 or 6 appears.
Then X can take values 0, 1, 2.
When X = 0 i.e., 5 or 6 do not appear on any of the dice, then
X = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4)}
∴ n(X) = 16.
∴ P(X = 0) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{16}{36}=\frac{4}{9}\)
When X = 1, i.e. 5 or 6 appear on exactly one of the dice, then
X = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4)}
∴ n(X) = 16
∴ P(X = 1) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{16}{36}=\frac{4}{9}\)
When X = 2, i.e. 5 or 6 appear on both of the dice, then
X = {(5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
∴ n(X) = 4
∴ P(X = 2) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}\)
∴ the required probability distribution is

Question 6.
From a lot of 30 bulbs which include 6 defectives, a sample of 4 bulbs is drawn at random with replacement. Find the probability distribution of the number of defective bulbs.
Solution:
Here, the number of defective bulbs is the random variable.
Let the number of defective bulbs be denoted by X.
∴ X can take the value 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Since the draws are done with replacement, therefore the four draws are independent experiments.
Total number of bulbs is 30 which include 6 defectives.
∴ P(X = 0) = P(0) = P(all 4 non-defective bulbs)
= \(\frac{24}{30} \times \frac{24}{30} \times \frac{24}{30} \times \frac{24}{30}\)
= \(\frac{256}{625}\)
P(X = 1) = P (1) = P (1 defective and 3 non-defective bulbs)

P(X = 2) = P(2) = P(2 defective and 2 non-defective)

P(X = 3) = P(3) = P(3 defectives and 1 non-defective)

P(X = 4) = P(4) = P(all 4 defectives)
= \(\frac{6}{30} \times \frac{6}{30} \times \frac{6}{30} \times \frac{6}{30}\)
= \(\frac{1}{625}\)
∴ the required probability distribution is

Question 7.
A coin is biased so that the head is 3 times as likely to occur as the tail. If the coin is tossed twice. Find the probability distribution of a number of tails.
Solution:
Given a biased coin such that heads is 3 times as likely as tails.
∴ P(H) = \(\frac{3}{4}\) and P(T) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
The coin is tossed twice.
Let X can be the random variable for the number of tails.
Then X can take the value 0, 1, 2.
∴ P(X = 0) = P(HH) = \(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{16}\)
P(X = 1) = P(HT, TH) = \(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{16}=\frac{3}{8}\)
P(X = 2) = P(TT) = \(\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{16}\)
∴ the required probability distribution is

Question 8.
A random variable X has the following probability distribution:

Determine:
(i) k
(ii) P(X < 3) (iii) P(X > 4)
Solution:
(i) Since P (x) is a probability distribution of x,
\(\sum_{x=0}^{7} P(x)=1\)
⇒ P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) + P(7) = 1
⇒ 0 + k + 2k + 2k + 3k + k² + 2k² + 7k² + k = 1
⇒ 10k² + 9k – 1 = 0
⇒ 10k² + 10k – k – 1 = 0
⇒ 10k(k + 1) – 1(k + 1) = 0
⇒ (k + 1)(10k – 1) = 0
⇒ 10k – 1 = 0 ……..[∵ k ≠ -1]
⇒ k = \(\frac{1}{10}\)

(ii) P(X< 3) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)
= 0 + k + 2k
= 3k
= 3(\(\frac{1}{10}\))
= \(\frac{3}{10}\)

(iii) P(0 < X < 3) = P (1) + P (2)
= k + 2k
= 3k
= 3(\(\frac{1}{10}\))
= \(\frac{3}{10}\)

Question 9.
Find expected value and variance of X for the following p.m.f.:

Solution:
We construct the following table to calculate E(X) and V(X):

From the table,
Σx_ip_i = -0.05 and \(\Sigma x_{i}^{2} \cdot p_{i}\) = 2.25
∴ E(X) = Σx_ip_i = -0.05
and V(X) = \(\Sigma x_{i}^{2}+p_{i}-\left(\sum x_{i}+p_{i}\right)^{2}\)
= 2.25 – (-0.05)²
= 2.25 – 0.0025
= 2.2475
Hence, E(X) = -0.05 and V(X) = 2.2475.

Question 10.
Find expected value and variance of X, where X is the number obtained on the uppermost face when a fair die is thrown.
Solution:
If a die is tossed, then the sample space for the random variable X is
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
∴ P(X) = \(\frac{1}{6}\); X = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Hence, E(X) = 3.5 and V(X) = 2.9167.

Question 11.
Find the mean number of heads in three tosses of a fair coin.
Solution:
When three coins are tossed the sample space is {HHH, HHT, THH, HTH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}
∴ n(S) = 8
Let X denote the number of heads when three coins are tossed.
Then X can take values 0, 1, 2, 3
P(X = 0) = P(0) = \(\frac{1}{8}\)
P(X = 1) = P(1) = \(\frac{3}{8}\)
P(X = 2) = P(2) = \(\frac{3}{8}\)
P(X = 3) = P(3) = \(\frac{1}{8}\)
∴ mean = E(X) = Σx_iP(x_i)
= \(0 \times \frac{1}{8}+1 \times \frac{3}{8}+2 \times \frac{3}{8}+3 \times \frac{1}{8}\)
= \(0+\frac{3}{8}+\frac{6}{8}+\frac{3}{8}\)
= \(\frac{12}{8}\)
= 1.5

Question 12.
Two dice are thrown simultaneously. If X denotes the number of sixes, find the expectation of X.
Solution:
When two dice are thrown, the sample space S has 6 × 6 = 36 sample points.
∴ n(S) = 36
Let X denote the number of sixes when two dice are thrown.
Then X can take values 0, 1, 2
When X = 0, then
X = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5)}
∴ n(X) = 25
∴ P(X = 0) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{25}{36}\)
When X = 1, then
X = {(1, 6), (2, 6), (3, 6), (4, 6), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5)}
∴ n(X) = 10
∴ P(X = 1) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{10}{36}\)
When X = 2, then X = {(6, 6)}
∴ n(X) = 1
∴ P(X = 2) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{36}\)
∴ E(X) = ΣxiP(xi)
= \(0 \times \frac{25}{36}+1 \times \frac{10}{36}+2 \times \frac{1}{36}\)
= \(0+\frac{10}{36}+\frac{2}{36}\)
= \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Question 13.
Two numbers are selected at random (without replacement) from the first six positive integers. Let X denote the larger of the two numbers. Find E(X).
Solution:
Two numbers are chosen from the first 6 positive integers.
∴ n(S) = \({ }^{6} C_{2}=\frac{6 \times 5}{1 \times 2}\) = 15
Let X denote the larger of the two numbers.
Then X can take values 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
When X = 2, the other positive number which is less than 2 is 1.
∴ n(X) = 1
∴ P(X = 2) = P(2) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{15}\)
When X = 3, the other positive number less than 3 can be 1 or 2 and hence can be chosen in 2 ways.
∴ n(X) = 2
P(X = 3) = P(3) = \(\frac{n(X)}{n(S)}=\frac{2}{15}\)
Similarly, P(X = 4) = P(4) = \(\frac{3}{15}\)
P(X = 5) = P(5) = \(\frac{4}{15}\)
P(X = 6) = P(6) = \(\frac{5}{15}\)
∴ E(X) = Σx_iP(x_i)
= \(2 \times \frac{1}{15}+3 \times \frac{2}{15}+4 \times \frac{3}{15}+5 \times \frac{4}{15}+6 \times \frac{5}{15}\)
= \(\frac{2+6+12+20+30}{15}\)
= \(\frac{70}{15}\)
= \(\frac{14}{3}\)

Question 14.
Let X denote the sum of numbers obtained when two fair dice are rolled. Find the standard deviation of X.
Solution:
If two fair dice are rolled then the sample space S of this experiment is
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)}
∴ n(S) = 36
Let X denote the sum of the numbers on uppermost faces.
Then X can take the values 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

∴ the probability distribution of X is given by

Question 15.
A class has 15 students whose ages are 14, 17, 15, 14, 21, 17, 19, 20, 16, 18, 20, 17, 16, 19 and 20 years. One student is selected in such a manner that each has the same chance of being chosen and the age X of the student is recorded. What is the probability distribution of the random variable X? Find mean, variance, and standard deviation of X.
Solution:
Let X denote the age of the chosen student. Then X can take values 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21.
We make a frequency table to find the number of students with age X:

The chances of any student selected are equally likely.
If there are m students with age X, then P(X) = \(\frac{m}{15}\)
Using this, the following is the probability distribution of X:


Variance = V(X) = \(\Sigma x_{i}^{2}\) . P(x_i) – [E(X)]²
= 312.2 – (17.53)²
= 312.2 – 307.3
= 4.9
Standard deviation = √V(X) = √4.9 = 2.21
Hence, mean = 17.53, variance = 4.9 and standard deviation = 2.21.

Question 16.
In a meeting, 70% of the member’s favour and 30% oppose a certain proposal. A member is selected at random and we take X = 0 if he opposed and X = 1 if he is in favour. Find E(X) and Var(X).
Solution:
X takes values 0 and 1.
It is given that
P(X = 0) = P(0) = 30% = \(\frac{30}{100}\) = 0.3
P(X = 1) = P(1) = 70% = \(\frac{70}{100}\) = 0.7
∴ E(X) = Σx_i . P(x_i) = 0 × 0.3 + 1 × 0.7 = 0.7
Also, \(\Sigma x_{i}^{2} \cdot P\left(x_{i}\right)\) = 0 × 0.3 + 1 × 0.7 = 0.7
∴ Variance = V(X) = \(\Sigma x_{i}^{2} \cdot P\left(x_{i}\right)-[E(X)]^{2}\)
= 0.7 – (0.7)²
= 0.7 – 0.49
= 0.21
Hence, E(X) = 0.7 and Var(X) = 0.21.

Question 1.
Determine the order and degree of the following differential equations:
(i) \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}+5 \frac{d y}{d x}+y=x^{3}\)
Solution:
The given D.E. is \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}+5 \frac{d y}{d x}+y=x^{3}\)
This D.E. has highest order derivative \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) with power 1.
∴ the given D.E. is of order 2 and degree 1.

(ii) \(\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)^{2}=\sqrt[5]{1+\frac{d y}{d x}}\)
Solution:
The given D.E. is \(\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)^{2}=\sqrt[5]{1+\frac{d y}{d x}}\)
\(\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)^{2 \times 5}=1+\frac{d y}{d x}\)
\(\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)^{10}=1+\frac{d y}{d x}\)
This D.E. has highest order derivative \(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\) with power 10.
∴ the given D.E. is of order 3 and degree 10.

(iii) \(\sqrt[3]{1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}}=\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\)
Solution:
The given D.E. is \(\sqrt[3]{1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}}=\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\)
On cubing both sides, we get
\(1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)^{3}\)
This D.E. has highest order derivative \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) with power 3.
∴ the given D.E. is of order 2 and degree 3.

(iv) \(\frac{d y}{d x}=3 y+\sqrt[4]{1+5\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}}\)
Solution:
The given D.E. is

This D.E. has the highest order derivative \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) with power 4.
∴ the given D.E. is of order 1 and degree 4.

(v) \(\frac{d^{4} y}{d x^{4}}+\sin \left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)=0\)
Solution:
The given D.E. is \(\frac{d^{4} y}{d x^{4}}+\sin \left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)=0\)
This D.E. has highest order derivative \(\frac{d^{4} y}{d x^{4}}\).
∴ order = 4
Since this D.E. cannot be expressed as a polynomial in differential coefficient, the degree is not defined.

Question 2.
In each of the following examples verify that the given function is a solution of the differential equation.
(i) \(x^{2}+y^{2}=r^{2} ; x \frac{d y}{d x}+r \sqrt{1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}}=y\)
Solution:
x² + y² = r² ……. (1)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

Hence, x² + y² = r² is a solution of the D.E.
\(x \frac{d y}{d x}+r \sqrt{1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^{2}}=y\)

(ii) y = e^ax sin bx; \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}-2 a \frac{d y}{d x}+\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right) y=0\)
Solution:

(iii) y = 3 cos(log x) + 4 sin(log x); \(x^{2} \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}+x \frac{d y}{d x}+y=0\)
Solution:
y = 3 cos(log x) + 4 sin (log x) …… (1)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

(iv) xy = ae^x + be^-x + x²; \(x \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}+2 \frac{d y}{d x}+x^{2}=x y+2\)
Solution:

(v) x² = 2y² log y, x² + y² = xy \(\frac{d x}{d y}\)
Solution:
x² = 2y² log y ……(1)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. y, we get

∴ x² + y² = xy \(\frac{d x}{d y}\)
Hence, x² = 2y² log y is a solution of the D.E.
x² + y² = xy \(\frac{d x}{d y}\)

Question 3.
Obtain the differential equation by eliminating the arbitrary constants from the following equations:
(i) y² = a(b – x)(b + x)
Solution:
y² = a(b – x)(b + x) = a(b² – x²)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
2y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = a(0 – 2x) = -2ax
∴ y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = -ax …….(1)
Differentiating again w.r.t. x, we get

This is the required D.E.

(ii) y = a sin(x + b)
Solution:
y = a sin(x + b)

This is the required D.E.

(iii) (y – a)² = b(x + 4)
Solution:
(y – a)² = b(x + 4) …….(1)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
\(2(y-a) \cdot \frac{d}{d x}(y-a)=b \frac{d}{d x}(x+4)\)

(iv) y = \(\sqrt{a \cos (\log x)+b \sin (\log x)}\)
Solution:
y = \(\sqrt{a \cos (\log x)+b \sin (\log x)}\)
∴ y² = a cos (log x) + b sin (log x) …….(1)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

(v) y = Ae^3x+1 + Be^-3x+1
Solution:
y = Ae^3x+1 + Be^-3x+1 …… (1)
Differentiating twice w.r.t. x, we get

This is the required D.E.

Question 4.
Form the differential equation of:
(i) all circles which pass through the origin and whose centres lie on X-axis.
Solution:

Let C (h, 0) be the centre of the circle which pass through the origin. Then radius of the circle is h.
∴ equation of the circle is (x – h)² + (y – 0)² = h²
∴ x² – 2hx + h² + y² = h²
∴ x² + y² = 2hx ……..(1)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
2x + 2y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 2h
Substituting the value of 2h in equation (1), we get
x² + y² = (2x + 2y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\)) x
∴ x² + y² = 2x² + 2xy \(\frac{d y}{d x}\)
∴ 2xy \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + x² – y² = 0
This is the required D.E.

(ii) all parabolas which have 4b as latus rectum and whose axis is parallel to Y-axis.
Solution:
Let A(h, k) be the vertex of the parabola which has 4b as latus rectum and whose axis is parallel to the Y-axis.
Then equation of the parabola is
(x – h)² = 4b(y – k) ……. (1)
where h and k are arbitrary constants.

Differentiating both sides of (1) w.r.t. x, we get
2(x – h). \(\frac{d}{d x}\)(x – h) = 4b . \(\frac{d}{d x}\)(y – k)
∴ 2(x – h) x (1 – 0) = 4b(\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) – 0)
∴ (x – h) = 2b \(\frac{d y}{d x}\)
Differentiating again w.r.t. x, we get
1 – 0 = 2b \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\)
∴ 2b \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) – 1 = 0
This is the required D.E.

(iii) an ellipse whose major axis is twice its minor axis.
Solution:
Let 2a and 2b be lengths of the major axis and minor axis of the ellipse.
Then 2a = 2(2b)
∴ a = 2b
∴ equation of the ellipse is
\(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)
∴ \(\frac{x^{2}}{(2 b)^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)
∴ \(\frac{x^{2}}{4 b^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)
∴ x² + 4y² = 4b²
Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
2x + 4 × 2y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0
∴ x + 4y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0
This is the required D.E.

(iv) all the lines which are normal to the line 3x + 2y + 7 = 0.
Solution:
Slope of the line 3x – 2y + 7 = 0 is \(\frac{-3}{-2}=\frac{3}{2}\).
∴ slope of normal to this line is \(-\frac{2}{3}\)
Then the equation of the normal is
y = \(-\frac{2}{3}\)x + k, where k is an arbitrary constant.
Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
\(\frac{d y}{d x}=-\frac{2}{3} \times 1+0\)
∴ 3\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + 2 = 0
This is the required D.E.

(v) the hyperbola whose length of transverse and conjugate axes are half of that of the given hyperbola \(\frac{x^{2}}{16}-\frac{y^{2}}{36}=k\).
Solution:
The equation of the hyperbola is \(\frac{x^{2}}{16}-\frac{y^{2}}{36}=k\)
i.e., \(\frac{x^{2}}{16 k}-\frac{y^{2}}{36 k}=1\)
Comparing this equation with \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\), we get
a² = 16k, b² = 36k
∴ a = 4√k, b = 6√k
∴ l(transverse axis) = 2a = 8√k
and l(conjugate axis) = 2b = 12√k
Let 2A and 2B be the lengths of the transverse and conjugate axes of the required hyperbola.
Then according to the given condition
2A = a = 4√k and 2B = b = 6√k
∴ A = 2√k and B = 3√k
∴ equation of the required hyperbola is
\(\frac{x^{2}}{A^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{B^{2}}=1\)
i.e., \(\frac{x^{2}}{4 k}-\frac{y^{2}}{9 k}=1\)
∴ 9x² – 4y² = 36k, where k is an arbitrary constant.
Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
9 × 2x – 4 × 2y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0
∴ 9x – 4y \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0
This is the required D.E.

Question 5.
Solve the following differential equations:
(i) log(\(\frac{d y}{d x}\)) = 2x + 3y
Solution:

(ii) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = x²y + y
Solution:

(iii) \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 y-x}{2 y+x}\)
Solution:

(iv) x dy = (x + y + 1) dx
Solution:

(v) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + y cot x = x² cot x + 2x
Solution:
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + y cot x = x cot x + 2x ……..(1)
This is the linear differential equation of the form
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + Py = Q, where P = cot x and Q = x² cot x + 2x
∴ I.F. = \(e^{\int P d x}\)
= \(e^{\int \cot x d x}\)
= \(e^{\log (\sin x)}\)
= sin x
∴ the solution of (1) is given by
y(I.F.) = ∫Q . (I.F.) dx + c
∴ y sin x = ∫(x² cot x + 2x) sin x dx + c
∴ y sinx = ∫(x² cot x . sin x + 2x sin x) dx + c
∴ y sinx = ∫x² cos x dx + 2∫x sin x dx + c
∴ y sinx = x² ∫cos x dx – ∫[\(\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^{2}\right)\) ∫cos x dx] dx + 2∫x sin x dx + c
∴ y sin x = x² (sin x) – ∫2x(sin x) dx + 2∫x sin x dx + c
∴ y sin x = x² sin x – 2∫x sin x dx + 2∫x sin x dx + c
∴ y sin x = x² sin x + c
∴ y = x² + c cosec x
This is the general solution.

(vi) y log y = (log y² – x) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\)
Solution:

(vii) 4 \(\frac{d x}{d y}\) + 8x = 5e^-3y
Solution:

Question 6.
Find the particular solution of the following differential equations:
(i) y(1 + log x) = (log xx) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\), when y(e) = e²
Solution:

(ii) (x + 2y²) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = y, when x = 2, y = 1
Solution:


This is the general solution.
When x = 2, y = 1, we have
2 = 2(1)² + c(1)
∴ c = 0
∴ the particular solution is x = 2y².

(iii) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) – 3y cot x = sin 2x, when y(\(\frac{\pi}{2}\)) = 2
Solution:
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) – 3y cot x = sin 2x
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = (3 cot x) y = sin 2x ……..(1)
This is the linear differential equation of the form

(iv) (x + y) dy + (x – y) dx = 0; when x = 1 = y
Solution:

(v) \(2 e^{\frac{x}{y}} d x+\left(y-2 x e^{\frac{x}{y}}\right) d y=0\), when y(0) = 1
Solution:

Question 7.
Show that the general solution of defferential equation \(\frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{y^{2}+y+1}{x^{2}+x+1}=0\) is given by (x + y + 1) = c(1 – x – y – 2xy).
Solution:

Question 8.
The normal lines to a given curve at each point (x, y) on the curve pass through (2, 0). The curve passes through (2, 3). Find the equation of the curve.
Solution:
Let P(x, y) be a point on the curve y = f(x).
Then slope of the normal to the curve is \(-\frac{1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)}\)
∴ equation of the normal is

This is the general equation of the curve.
Since, the required curve passed through the point (2, 3), we get
2² + 3² = 4(2) + c
∴ c = 5
∴ equation of the required curve is x² + y² = 4x + 5.

Question 9.
The volume of a spherical balloon being inflated changes at a constant rate. If initially its radius is 3 units and after 3 seconds it is 6 units. Find the radius of the balloon after t seconds.
Solution:
Let r be the radius and V be the volume of the spherical balloon at any time t.
Then the rate of change in volume of the spherical balloon is \(\frac{d V}{d t}\) which is a constant.


Hence, the radius of the spherical balloon after t seconds is \((63 t+27)^{\frac{1}{3}}\) units.

Question 10.
A person’s assets start reducing in such a way that the rate of reduction of assets is proportional to the square root of the assets existing at that moment. If the assets at the beginning are ₹ 10 lakhs and they dwindle down to ₹ 10,000 after 2 years, show that the person will be bankrupt in 2\(\frac{2}{9}\) years from the start.
Solution:
Let x be the assets of the presort at time t years.
Then the rate of reduction is \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) which is proportional to √x.
∴ \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) ∝ √x
∴ \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) = -k√x, where k > 0
∴ \(\frac{d x}{\sqrt{x}}\) = -k dt
Integrating both sides, we get
\(\int x^{-\frac{1}{2}} d x\) = -k∫dt
∴ \(\frac{x^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}\) = -kt + c
∴ 2√x = -kt + c
At the beginning, i.e. at t = 0, x = 10,00,000
2√10,00,000 = -k(0) + c
∴ c = 2000
∴ 2√x = -kt + 2000 ……..(1)
Also, when t = 2, x = 10,000
∴ 2√10000 = -k × 2 + 2000
∴ 2k = 1800
∴ k = 900
∴ (1) becomes,
∴ 2√x = -900t + 2000
When the person will be bankrupt, x = 0
∴ 0 = -900t + 2000
∴ 900t = 2000
∴ t = \(\frac{20}{9}=2 \frac{2}{9}\)
Hence, the person will be bankrupt in \(2 \frac{2}{9}\) years.

12th Maths Part 2 Differential Equations Exercise 6.6 Questions And Answers Maharashtra Board

Question 1.
In a certain culture of bacteria, the rate of increase is proportional to the number present. If it is found that the number doubles in 4 hours, find the number of times the bacteria are increased in 12 hours.
Solution:
Let x be the number of bacteria in the culture at time t.
Then the rate of increase is \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) which is proportional to x.
∴ \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) ∝ x
∴ \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) = kx, where k is a constant
∴ \(\frac{d x}{x}\) = k dt
On integrating, we get
\(\int \frac{d x}{x}\) = k∫dt + c
∴ log x = kt + c
Initially, i.e. when t = 0, let x = x₀
log x₀ = k × 0 + c
∴ c = log x₀
∴ log x = kt + log x₀
∴ log x – log x₀ = kt
∴ log(\(\frac{x}{x_{0}}\)) = kt ………(1)
Since the number doubles in 4 hours, i.e. when t = 4, x = 2x₀

∴ the number of bacteria will be 8 times the original number in 12 hours.

Question 2.
If the population of a country doubles in 60 years; in how many years will it be triple (treble) under the assumption that the rate of increase is proportional to the number of inhabitants?
[Given log 2 = 0.6912, log 3 = 1.0986]
Solution:
Let P be the population at time t years.
Then \(\frac{d P}{d t}\), the rate of increase of population is proportional to P.
∴ \(\frac{d P}{d t}\) ∝ P
∴ \(\frac{d P}{d t}\) = kP, where k is a constant
∴ \(\frac{d P}{P}\) = k dt
On integrating, we get
\(\int \frac{d P}{P}\) = k∫dt + c
∴ log P = kt + c
Initially i.e. when t = 0, let P = P₀
∴ log P₀ = k x 0 + c
∴ c = log P₀
∴ log P = kt + log P₀
∴ log P – log P₀ = kt
∴ log(\(\frac{P}{P_{0}}\)) = kt ……(1)
Since, the population doubles in 60 years, i.e. when t = 60, P = 2P₀

∴ the population becomes triple in 95.4 years (approximately).

Question 3.
If a body cools from 80°C to 50°C at room temperature of 25°C in 30 minutes, find the temperature of the body after 1 hour.
Solution:
Let θ°C be the temperature of the body at time t minutes.
The room temperature is given to be 25°C.
Then by Newton’s law of cooling, \(\frac{d \theta}{d t}\), the rate of change of temperature, is proportional to (θ – 25).


∴ the temperature of the body will be 36.36°C after 1 hour.

Question 4.
The rate of growth of bacteria is proportional to the number present. If initially, there were 1000 bacteria and the number doubles in 1 hour, find the number of bacteria after 2½ hours. [Take √2 = 1.414]
Solution:
Let x be the number of bacteria at time t.
Then the rate of increase is \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) which is proportional to x.
∴ \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) ∝ x
∴ \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) = kx, where k is a constant
∴ \(\frac{d x}{x}\) = k dt
On integrating, we get
\(\int \frac{d x}{x}\) = k∫dt + c
∴ log x = kt + c
Initially, i.e. when t = 0, x = 1000
∴ log 1000 = k × 0 + c
∴ c = log 1000
∴ log x = kt + log 1000
∴ log x – log 1000 = kt
∴ log(\(\frac{x}{1000}\)) = kt ……(1)
Now, when t = 1, x = 2 × 1000 = 2000
∴ log(\(\frac{2000}{1000}\)) = k
∴ k = log 2

∴ the number of bacteria after 2½ hours = 5656.

Question 5.
The rate of disintegration of a radioactive element at any time t is proportional to its mass at that time. Find the time during which the original mass of 1.5 gm will disintegrate into its mass of 0.5 gm.
Solution:
Let m be the mass of the radioactive element at time t.
Then the rate of disintegration is \(\frac{d m}{d t}\) which is proportional to m.


∴ log(3)^-1 = -kt
∴ -log 3 = -kt
∴ t = \(\frac{1}{k}\) log 3
∴ the original mass will disintegrate to 0.5 gm when t = \(\frac{1}{k}\) log 3

Question 6.
The rate of decay of certain substances is directly proportional to the amount present at that instant. Initially, there is 25 gm of certain substance and two hours later it is found that 9 gm are left. Find the amount left after one more hour.
Solution:
Let x gm be the amount of the substance left at time t.
Then the rate of decay is \(\frac{d x}{d t}\), which is proportional to x.


∴ \(\frac{x}{25}=\frac{27}{125}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{27}{5}\)
∴ the amount left after 3 hours \(\frac{27}{5}\) gm.

Question 7.
Find the population of a city at any time t, given that the rate of increase of population is proportional to the population at that instant and that in a period of 40 years, the population increased from 30,000 to 40,000.
Solution:
Let P be the population of the city at time t.
Then \(\frac{d P}{d t}\), the rate of increase of population is proportional to P.
∴ \(\frac{d P}{d t}\) ∝ P
∴ \(\frac{d P}{d t}\) = kP, where k is a constant.
∴ \(\frac{d P}{P}\) = k dt
On integrating, we get
\(\int \frac{1}{P} d P\) = k∫dt + c
∴ log P = kt + c
Initially, i.e. when t = 0, P = 30000
∴ log 30000 = k × 0 + c
∴ c = log 30000
∴ log P = kt + log 30000
∴ log P – log 30000 = kt
∴ log(\(\frac{P}{30000}\)) = kt …….(1)
Now, when t = 40, P = 40000

∴ the population of the city at time t = 30000\(\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^{\frac{t}{40}}\).

Question 8.
A body cools according to Newton’s law from 100°C to 60°C in 20 minutes. The temperature of the surroundings is 20°C. How long will it take to cool down to 30°C?
Solution:
Let θ°C be the temperature of the body at time t.
The temperature of the surrounding is given to be 20°C.
According to Newton’s law of cooling


∴ the body will cool down to 30°C in 60 minutes, i.e. in 1 hour.

Question 9.
A right circular cone has a height of 9 cm and a radius of the base of 5 cm. It is inverted and water is poured into it. If at any instant the water level rises at the rate of \(\left(\frac{\pi}{A}\right)\) cm/sec, where A is the area of the water surface
at that instant, show that the vessel will be full in 75 seconds.
Solution:

Let r be the radius of the water surface and h be the height of the water at time t.
∴ area of the water surface A = πr² sq cm.
Since height of the right circular cone is 9 cm and radius of the base is 5 cm.
\(\frac{r}{h}=\frac{5}{9}\)
∴ r = \(\frac{5}{9} h\)
∴ area of water surface, i.e. A = \(\pi\left(\frac{5}{9} h\right)^{2}\)
∴ A = \(\frac{25 \pi h^{2}}{81}\) ……..(1)
The water level, i.e. the rate of change of h is \(\frac{d h}{d t}\) rises at the rate of \(\left(\frac{\pi}{A}\right)\) cm/sec.

∴ t = \(\frac{81 \times 9 \times 25}{3 \times 81}\) = 75
Hence, the vessel will be full in 75 seconds.

Question 10.
Assume that a spherical raindrop evaporates at a rate proportional to its surface area. If its radius originally is 3 mm and 1 hour later has been reduced to 2 mm, find an expression for the radius of the raindrop at any time t.
Solution:
Let r be the radius, V be the volume and S be the surface area of the spherical raindrop at time t.
Then V = \(\frac{4}{3}\)πr³ and S = 4πr²
The rate at which the raindrop evaporates is \(\frac{d V}{d t}\) which is proportional to the surface area.
∴ \(\frac{d V}{d t}\) ∝ S
∴ \(\frac{d V}{d t}\) = -kS, where k > 0 ………(1)

On integrating, we get
∫dr = -k∫dt + c
∴ r = -kt + c
Initially, i.e. when t = 0, r = 3
∴ 3 = -k × 0 + c
∴ c = 3
∴ r = -kt + 3
When t = 1, r = 2
∴ 2 = -k × 1 + 3
∴ k = 1
∴ r = -t + 3
∴ r = 3 – t, where 0 ≤ t ≤ 3.
This is the required expression for the radius of the raindrop at any time t.

Question 11.
The rate of growth of the population of a city at any time t is proportional to the size of the population. For a certain city, it is found that the constant of proportionality is 0.04. Find the population of the city after 25 years, if the initial population is 10,000. [Take e = 2.7182]
Solution:
Let P be the population of the city at time t.
Then the rate of growth of population is \(\frac{d P}{d t}\) which is proportional to P.
∴ \(\frac{d P}{d t}\) ∝ P
∴ \(\frac{d P}{d t}\) = kP, where k = 0.04
∴ \(\frac{d P}{d t}\) = (0.04)P
∴ \(\frac{1}{P}\) dP = (0.04)dt
On integrating, we get
\(\int \frac{1}{P} d P\) = (0.04) ∫dt + c
∴ log P = (0.04)t + c
Initially, i.e., when t = 0, P = 10000
∴ log 10000 = (0.04) × 0 + c
∴ c = log 10000
∴ log P = (0.04)t + log 10000
∴ log P – log 10000 = (0.04)t
∴ log(\(\frac{P}{10000}\)) = (0.04)t
When t = 25, then
∴ log(\(\frac{P}{10000}\)) = 0.04 × 25 = 1
∴ log(\(\frac{P}{10000}\)) = log e ……[∵ log e = 1]
∴ \(\frac{P}{10000}\) = e = 2.7182
∴ P = 2.7182 × 10000 = 27182
∴ the population of the city after 25 years will be 27,182.

Question 12.
Radium decomposes at a rate proportional to the amount present at any time. If p percent of the amount disappears in one year, what percent of the amount of radium will be left after 2 years?
Solution:
Let x be the amount of the radium at time t.
Then the rate of decomposition is \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) which is proportional to x.


Hence, \(\left(10-\frac{p}{10}\right)^{2} \%\) of the amount will be left after 2 years.

12th Maths Part 2 Differential Equations Exercise 6.5 Questions And Answers Maharashtra Board

Question 1.
Solve the following differential equations:
(i) \(\frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{y}{x}=x^{3}-3\)
Solution:
\(\frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{y}{x}=x^{3}-3\) …….(1)
This is the linear differential equation of the form
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + P . y = Q, where P = \(\frac{1}{x}\) and Q = x³ – 3

This is the general solution.

(ii) cos²x . \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + y = tan x
Solution:

(iii) (x + 2y³) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = y
Solution:

(iv) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + y . sec x = tan x
Solution:
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + y sec x = tan x
∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + (sec x) . y = tan x ……..(1)
This is the linear differential equation of the form
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + P . y = Q, where P = sec x and Q = tan x
∴ I.F. = \(e^{\int P d x}\)
= \(e^{\int \sec x d x}\)
= \(e^{\log (\sec x+\tan x)}\)
= sec x + tan x
∴ the solution of (1) is given by
y (I.F.) = ∫Q . (I.F.) dx + c
∴ y(sec x + tan x) = ∫tan x (sec x + tan x) dx + c
∴ (sec x + tan x) . y = ∫(sec x tan x + tan²x) dx + c
∴ (sec x + tan x) . y = ∫(sec x tan x + sec²x – 1) dx + c
∴ (sec x + tan x) . y = sec x + tan x – x + c
∴ y(sec x + tan x) = sec x + tan x – x + c
This is the general solution.

(v) x \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + 2y = x² . log x
Solution:

(vi) (x + y) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 1
Solution:
(x + y) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 1
∴ \(\frac{d x}{d y}\) = x + y
∴ \(\frac{d x}{d y}\) – x = y
∴ \(\frac{d x}{d y}\) + (-1) x = y ……….(1)
This is the linear differential equation of the form

This is the general solution.

(vii) (x + a) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) – 3y = (x + a)⁵
Solution:

(viii) dr + (2r cot θ + sin 2θ) dθ = 0
Solution:
dr + (2r cot θ + sin 2θ) dθ = 0
∴ \(\frac{d r}{d \theta}\) + (2r cot θ + sin 2θ) = 0
∴ \(\frac{d r}{d \theta}\) + (2 cot θ)r = -sin 2θ ………(1)
This is the linear differential equation of the form dr
\(\frac{d r}{d \theta}\) + P . r = Q, where P = 2 cot θ and Q = -sin 2θ

This is the general solution.

(ix) y dx + (x – y²) dy = 0
Solution:
y dx + (x – y²) dy = 0
∴ y dx = -(x – y²) dy
∴ \(\frac{d x}{d y}=-\frac{\left(x-y^{2}\right)}{y}=-\frac{x}{y}+y\)
∴ \(\frac{d x}{d y}+\left(\frac{1}{y}\right) \cdot x=y\) ………(1)
This is the linear differential equation of the form

Solution:

Solution:

Question 2.
Find the equation of the curve which passes through the origin and has the slope x + 3y – 1 at any point (x, y) on it.
Solution:
Let A(x, y) be the point on the curve y = f(x).
Then slope of the tangent to the curve at the point A is \(\frac{d y}{d x}\).
According to the given condition,
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = x + 3y – 1
∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) – 3y = x – 1 ………(1)
This is the linear differential equation of the form

This is the general equation of the curve.
But the required curve is passing through the origin (0, 0).
∴ by putting x = 0 and y = 0 in (2), we get
0 = 2 + c
∴ c = -2
∴ from (2), the equation of the required curve is 3(x + 3y) = 2 – 2e^3x i.e. 3(x + 3y) = 2 (1 – e^3x).

Question 3.
Find the equation of the curve passing through the point \(\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}, \sqrt{2}\right)\) having slope of the tangent to the curve at any point (x, y) is \(-\frac{4 x}{9 y}\).
Solution:
Let A(x, y) be the point on the curve y = f(x).
Then the slope of the tangent to the curve at point A is \(\frac{d y}{d x}\).
According to the given condition
\(\frac{d y}{d x}=-\frac{4 x}{9 y}\)
∴ y dy = \(-\frac{4}{9}\) x dx
Integrating both sides, we get
∫y dy= \(-\frac{4}{9}\) ∫x dx
∴ \(\frac{y^{2}}{2}=-\frac{4}{9} \cdot \frac{x^{2}}{2}+c_{1}\)
∴ 9y² = -4x² + 18c₁
∴ 4x² + 9y² = c where c = 18c₁
This is the general equation of the curve.
But the required curve is passing through the point \(\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}, \sqrt{2}\right)\).
∴ by putting x = \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\) and y = √2 in (1), we get
\(4\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{2}+9(\sqrt{2})^{2}=c\)
∴ 18 + 18 = c
∴ c = 36
∴ from (1), the equation of the required curve is 4x² + 9y² = 36.

Question 4.
The curve passes through the point (0, 2). The sum of the coordinates of any point on the curve exceeds the slope of the tangent to the curve at any point by 5. Find the equation of the curve.
Solution:
Let A(x, y) be any point on the curve.
Then slope of the tangent to the curve at the point A is \(\frac{d y}{d x}\).
According to the given condition
x + y = \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + 5
∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) – y = x – 5 ………(1)
This is the linear differential equation of the form
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + P . y = Q, where P = -1 and Q = x – 5
∴ I.F. = \(e^{\int P d x}=e^{\int-1 d x}=e^{-x}\)
∴ the solution of (1) is given by

This is the general equation of the curve.
But the required curve is passing through the point (0, 2).
∴ by putting x = 0, y = 2 in (2), we get
2 = 4 – 0 + c
∴ c = -2
∴ from (2), the equation of the required curve is y = 4 – x – 2e^x.

Question 5.
If the slope of the tangent to the curve at each of its point is equal to the sum of abscissa and the product of the abscissa and ordinate of the point. Also, the curve passes through the point (0, 1). Find the equation of the curve.
Solution:
Let A(x, y) be the point on the curve y = f(x).
Then slope of the tangent to the curve at the point A is \(\frac{d y}{d x}\).
According to the given condition
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = x + xy
∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) – xy = x ……….. (1)
This is the linear differential equation of the form
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) + Py = Q, where P = -x and Q = x
∴ I.F. = \(e^{\int P d x}=e^{\int-x d x}=e^{-\frac{x^{2}}{2}}\)
∴ the solution of (1) is given by
y . (I.F.) = ∫Q . (I.F.) dx + c

This is the general equation of the curve.
But the required curve is passing through the point (0, 1).
∴ by putting x = 0 and y = 1 in (2), we get
1 + 1 = c
∴ c = 2
∴ from (2), the equation of the required curve is 1 + y = \(2 e^{\frac{x^{2}}{2}}\).
