Examples:

A friend of yours called yesterday.

The pen on the cupboard is mine not yours.

My mother cooks better than hers.

Mathematics - Probability

-PROBABILITY = Number of POSSIBLE EVENT Number of TOTAL OUTCOME   Question 1 Teams P and Q are involved in a game of football. What is the probability that the game ends in a draw? Options A) ⅔ B) ½ C) ⅓ D) ¼ Solution: In a football game, one team either wins or there is a tie. This means there are three possible outcomes: a win, a loss or a draw. Therefore, the probability of a draw is ⅓ The correct answer is C. Question 2 Given distribution of color beads: blue, black, yellow, white and brown with frequencies 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Find the probability that a bead picked at random will be blue or white. Options A) 7/15 B) 2/5 C) 1/3 D) 1/15 Solution: Total number of beads = 15. Number of white beads = 4. ⇒P(white) = 4/15 Number of blue beads = 1. ⇒P(blue) = 1/15 P(white or blue) = P(white) + P(blue) =5/15 🔶P(white or blue) = ⅓ The correct answer is C. Question 3 A die is rolled, find the probability that an even number is obtained. Options A. ⅙ B. ¼ C. ⅓ D. ½ Solution...

Chemistry - Separation Techniques

 A separation process or technique is a method that converts a mixture or solution of chemical substances into two or more distinct product mixtures. At least one of results of the separation is enriched in one or more of the source mixture’s constituents. In some cases, a separation may fully divide the mixture into pure constituents. Separations exploit differences in chemical properties or physical properties (such as size, shape, mass, density, or chemical affinity) between the constituents of a mixture. Processes and techniques are often classified according to the particular differences they use to achieve separation. If no single difference can be used to accomplish a desired separation, multiple operations can often be combined to achieve the desired end. With a few exceptions, elements or compounds exist in nature in an impure state. Often these raw materials must go through a separation before they can be put to productive use, making separation techniques essential for ...
