Probability in Maths is used to calculate how an event is likely to occur. It is measured by dividing the favorable outcomes number by the number of possible outcomes. It is expressed from 0% to 100% or by either 0 (impossible) or 1 (certain).

A: 3 numbers are in A.P.
B: 3 numbers are even
P (B/A) = n (A ∩ B) / n (A) = (²? C? + ²? C? ) / (? C? +? C? ) = (25 * 24) / (50 * 49) = 12/49

5 red, 3 yellow
There are 3 points in sample space either both are red or both are yellow or one is red other is yellow.
⇒ P (E) = (3.5+5.3) / (3.5+5.3+5.4+3.2) = 15/28

Initial mean of 25 observations is 40.
X? = (Σx? )/25 = 40 => Σx? = 25 * 40 = 1000.

A teacher of age 60 retires.
The new sum of ages for the remaining 24 people is 1000 - 60 = 940.

A new teacher of age x joins.
The new sum for 25 people is 940 + x.
The new mean is 39.
(940 + x) / 25 = 39
940 + x = 39 * 25 = 975
x = 975 - 940 = 35.
The new teacher's age is 35.
