1 Marks Sub-question (a): Find the total number of cards present in the jar.
Answer:
1. Total cards = $74 - 10 + 1 = 65$.

Result: $65$ cards

1 Marks Sub-question (b): What is the probability that the card drawn bears an even number?
Answer:
1. Total numbers from $10$ to $74$ is $65$ ($33$ even numbers and $32$ odd numbers).

2. Probability = $\frac{33}{65}$.

Result: $\frac{33}{65}$

1 Marks Sub-question (c): What is the probability that the card bears a number that is a multiple of 5?
Answer:
1. Multiples of $5$ from $10$ to $74$: $10, 15, 20, \dots, 70$.

2. Count = $\frac{70 - 10}{5} + 1 = 13$ numbers.

3. Probability = $\frac{13}{65} = \frac{1}{5}$ (or $0.2$).

Result: $\frac{1}{5}$ (or $0.2$)

1 Marks Sub-question (d): What is the probability that the number on the card is a perfect square?
Answer:
1. Perfect squares between $10$ and $74$: $16, 25, 36, 49, 64$ ($4^2, 5^2, 6^2, 7^2, 8^2$).

2. Count = $5$ numbers.

3. Probability = $\frac{5}{65} = \frac{1}{13}$.

Result: $\frac{1}{13}$
Q18. Case Study: Quality Control at an Egg Farm
A poultry farm packs eggs in crates of 400 units. A quality inspector checks a crate and notes that the overall statistical probability of finding a cracked or spoiled (bad) egg is $0.035$.

1 Marks Sub-question (a): Calculate the exact number of bad eggs in that crate of 400.
Answer:
1. Number of bad eggs = Total eggs $\times$ probability of bad eggs = $400 \times 0.035 = 14$.

Result: $14$ bad eggs

1 Marks Sub-question (b): What is the probability of selecting a good egg at random from this crate?
Answer:
1. Probability of good egg = $1 - \text{Probability of bad egg} = 1 - 0.035 = 0.965$ (or $\frac{386}{400} = \frac{193}{200}$).

Result: $0.965$ (or $\frac{193}{200}$)

1 Marks Sub-question (c): If 14 more bad eggs are accidentally mixed into the crate, what becomes the new total number of eggs?
Answer:
1. Initial total eggs = $400$. Added bad eggs = $14$.

2. New total = $400 + 14 = 414$.

Result: $414$ eggs

1 Marks Sub-question (d): Find the updated probability of drawing a bad egg after the mix-up.
Answer:
1. Initial bad eggs = $14$, added bad eggs = $14$, so new total bad eggs = $14 + 14 = 28$.

2. New total eggs = $414$.

3. Updated probability = $\frac{28}{414} = \frac{14}{207}$.

Result: $\frac{14}{207}$
Q19. Case Study: Playing Card Modification Game
A standard deck of 52 playing cards is modified. All the Jacks and Kings of red color (Hearts and Diamonds) along with the Queens and Aces of black color (Spades and Clubs) are removed from the deck. The remaining cards are thoroughly shuffled.

1 Marks Sub-question (a): How many cards are removed in total from the standard deck?
Answer:
1. Red Jacks and Kings = $2 \text{ (Jacks)} + 2 \text{ (Kings)} = 4$ cards.
2. Black Queens and Aces = $2 \text{ (Queens)} + 2 \text{ (Aces)} = 4$ cards.

3. Total removed cards = $4 + 4 = 8$.

Result: $8$ cards

1 Marks Sub-question (b): Find the total number of remaining cards in the shuffled deck.
Answer:
1. Remaining cards = $52 - 8 = 44$.

Result: $44$ cards

1 Marks Sub-question (c): What is the probability of drawing a black queen from the remaining pile?
Answer:
1. Black queens were removed in the modification process ($2$ black queens removed out of $2$).

2. Remaining black queens = $0$.

3. Probability = $\frac{0}{44} = 0$.

Result: $0$

1 Marks Sub-question (d): What is the probability of drawing a face card from the remaining pile?
Answer:
1. Original face cards = $12$. Removed face cards = Red Jacks ($2$) + Red Kings ($2$) + Black Queens ($2$) = $6$ face cards.

2. Remaining face cards = $12 - 6 = 6$.

3. Probability = $\frac{6}{44} = \frac{3}{22}$.

Result: $\frac{3}{22}$
Q20. Case Study: The Two-Dice Board Game
Amit and Vineet are playing a board game during their summer break. The game requires rolling two distinct regular dice—one colored red and the other colored green—simultaneously.

1 Marks Sub-question (a): What is the total number of outcomes in the sample space when two dice are rolled together?
Answer:
1. Outcomes for first die = $6$, second die = $6$.

2. Total outcomes = $6 \times 6 = 36$.

Result: $36$ outcomes

1 Marks Sub-question (b): What is the probability that the sum of the two numbers appearing on top of the dice is equal to 8?
Answer:
1. Pairs summing to $8$: $(2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2)$.

2. Count = $5$ favorable outcomes.

3. Probability = $\frac{5}{36}$.

Result: $\frac{5}{36}$

1 Marks Sub-question (c): What is the probability that the product of the numbers appearing on the two dice is a prime number?
Answer:
1. Prime products can only be achieved if one number is $1$ and the other is a prime ($2, 3, 5$).
Favorable pairs: $(1,2), (2,1), (1,3), (3,1), (1,5), (5,1)$.

2. Count = $6$ outcomes.

3. Probability = $\frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$.

Result: $\frac{1}{6}$

1 Marks Sub-question (d): What is the probability that the absolute difference between the two numbers is 2?
Answer:
1. Pairs with absolute difference of $2$: $(1,3), (3,1), (2,4), (4,2), (3,5), (5,3), (4,6), (6,4)$.

2. Count = $8$ outcomes.

3. Probability = $\frac{8}{36} = \frac{2}{9}$.

Result: $\frac{2}{9}$
