If the probability of winning a game is \( 0.26 \), what is the probability of losing it? |
|
Answer» P(A)+P(NOT A)=1 where A is any event, So in this question P(losing)=1-P(winning) =1-0.26 =0.74 Therefore Probability of losing the game is 0.74 probability of losing game is 0.74 Probability of winning a game is P = 0.26 \(\therefore\) Probability of not winning the game = 1 - p = 1 - 0.26 = 0.74 (\(\because\) P(A) + P(not A)) = 1, for any event A) Since, for a game, there are only two possibility. Either you win the game or you lose the game. \(\therefore\) Probability of losing the game is 0.74. |

You are Raja / Rani. You came across the following visual. Write a speech in about 100 words to be delivered in the morning assembly of your school. |
|
Answer» Drive Safely Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends, good morning to everybody! I am Rani a student of class XII. Today I am going to give you some very important suggestions related to safe driving. Driving at top speed leads you directly to the hospital. Life is precious. It is to live and enjoy not to meet with an accident and die or become permanently handicapped. Such a life is a curse and worse than death. Some safety tips have been written on the pamphlet. We should always wear a helmet on two-wheeler vehçiles. We should obey traffic rules. We should not cross a red light. By following traffic rules we show gentleness. I am sure that you will follow my advice. Thanks! आदरणीय प्रधानाचार्य महोदय, गुरुजनो व मेरे प्यारे दोस्तो! सभी को शुभ प्रभात! मैं कक्षा 12 की एक विद्यार्थी रानी हूँ। आज मैं सुरक्षित ड्राईविंग के बारे में आपको कुछ बहुत ही महत्त्वपूर्व सुझाव देने वाली हूँ। तेज गति से (वाहन) चलाना आपको सीधा ही अस्पताल पहुंचाता है। जीवन कीमती है। यह जीने व आनन्द लेने के लिए है, न कि दुर्घटनाग्रस्त होकर मरने या स्थायी रूप से अपंग होने के लिए है। ऐसा जीवन एक अभिशाप तथा मृत्यु से भी बदतर है। पम्पलेट पर सुरक्षा के कुछ तरीके लिखे हुए हैं। हमें दोपहिया वाहनों पर चलते समय हमेशा हेलमेट पहनना चाहिये। हमें यातायात के नियमों का पालन करना चाहिये। हमें लाल बत्ती पार नहीं करनी चाहिये। यातायात के नियमों का पालन करके हम सौम्यता दिखाते हैं। मुझे पक्का विश्वास है कि आप मेरी सलाह का पालन करेंगे। धन्यवाद! |

Look at the visual on ‘Fast Food’. These days people, especially youngsters, like to eat fast food. So prepare a speech on the harmful effects of fast food in about 100 words. |
|
Answer» Fast Food Respected Principal sir, teachers and dear friends! Today, I want to tell you something about eating habits. We all love to eat fast food like pizza, burger etc. But do you know fast foods cause obesity and also lead to poor nutrition? Junk foods or fast foods usually have preservatives and artificial colours which are like poison to our bodies. This kind of food lacks fibre contents which are essential for our health. Junk food includes potato crisps, sauces and salted snacks. Regular consumption of fast foods can lead to hypertension, migraine, loss of appetite, and other health problems. So friends! We should not eat fast food regularly. Thank you! सम्मानित प्रधानाचार्य, अध्यापकगण व प्रिय मित्रो! आज मैं आपको भोजन सम्बन्धी आदतों के विषय में कुछ बताना चाहता हूँ। हम सभी को पिज्जा, बर्गर, चाऊमीन इत्यादि फास्ट फूड खाना प्रिय होता है। लेकिन क्या आप जानते हैं। कि फास्ट फूड अत्यधिक मोटापा बढ़ाता है और यह खराब पोषण की ओर भी ले जाता है। जंक फूड या फास्ट फूड में प्रायः परिरक्षक पदार्थ व कृत्रिम रंग होते हैं जो हमारे शरीर के लिए विष के समान होते हैं। इस प्रकार के भोजन में रेशों की मात्रा कम होती है जो हमारे स्वास्थ्य के लिए अति आवश्यक है। जंक फूड में आलू के चिप्स, सॉस और नमकीन स्नैक्स शामिल होते हैं। फास्ट फूड के नियमित सेवन से तनाव, सिर दर्द, भूख न लगना व अन्य स्वास्थ्य समस्याएँ हो सकती हैं। इसलिए मित्रो! हमें नियमित रूप से फास्ट फूड नहीं खाना चाहिए। धन्यवाद! |

Humanity is the most important trait in our personality. Humanity is above territories, caste, creed, and colour. Though we are divided into various countries, continents, states, etc. we must remember that these territories are constituted on the basis of ethnicity, formed by the people of some race and creed. All these are governed by the law, that we have made. But for nature, there is no such discrimination. For the sea, the sun, the rain, the air we all are the same. We all must remember the fact that it is the humanity the oneness with each other, which is the essence of our existence. |
