NUMBER SYSTEM
Points to Remember :
1. Number used for counting 1, 2, 3, 4, ... are
known as Natural numbers.
2. All natural numbers together with zero i.e. 0, 1,
2, 3, 4, ..... are known as whole numbers.
3. All natural numbers, zero and negative numbers
together i.e. ...., 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... are
known as Integers.
4. Rational Numbers : Numbers of the form
p
q
where p, q both are integers and q 0. For e.g.
1/4 , -2/3 etc.
5. Every rational number have either terminating
or repeating (recurring) decimal representation.
Terminating Repeating (Recurring)
Any rational number (that is, a fraction in lowest
terms) can be written as either a terminating
decimal or a repeating decimal. Just divide the
numerator by the denominator. If you end up with
a remainder of 0, then you have a terminating
decimal. Otherwise, the remainders will begin to
repeat after some point, and you have a repeating
decimal.
6. There are infinitely many rational numbers
between any two given rational numbers.
7. Irrational Numbers : Numbers which cannot
be written in the form of p/q, where p, q are
integers and q 0.
For e.g. 2 , S ,0.202202220......, etc.
8. Real numbers : Collection of both rational and
irrational numbers. For e.g. -3, 7/5,0,2 , S etc.
9. Every real number is represented by a unique
point on the number line. Also, every point on the
number
line represents a unique real number.

the plane.
2. Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent

STATISTICS
Points to Remember :
1. Facts or figures, collected with a definite
purpose, are called Data.
2. Statistics is the area of study dealing with the
collection, presentation, analysis and
interpretation of data.
3. The data collected by the investigator himself
with a definite objective in mind are known as
Primary data.
4. The data collected by someone else, other than
the investigator, are known as Secondary data.
5. Any character which is capable of taking
reversal different values is called a variable.
6. Each group into which the raw data are
condensed is known as class-interval. Each class
is bounded by
two figures known as its limits. The figure on the
left is lower limit and figure on the right is upper
limit.
7. The difference between true upper limit and
true lower limit of a class is known as its class-
size.
8. Mid-value of a class (or class mark) =

form of bar graphs, histograms and frequency
polygons.
13. The three measures of central tendency for an
ungrouped data are :

the observations and dividing it by the total
number of observations. It is denoted by x .

Empirical formula for calculating mode is given
by, Mode = 3 (Median) 2 (Mean)

Probability

Trial and Event :
An experiment is called a trial if it results in
anyone of the possible outcomes and all the
possible outcomes are called events.
For Example
(i) Participation of player in the game to win a
game, is a trial but winning or losing is an
event.
(ii) Tossing of a fair coin is a trial and turning up
head or tail are events.
(iii) Throwing of a dice is a trial and occurrence of
number 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 are events.
(iv) Drawing a card from a pack of playing cards
is a trial and getting an ace or a queen is an
event.
Exhaustive Events :
Total possible outcomes of an experiment are
called its exhaustive events.
For Example
(i) Tossing a coin has 2 exhaustive cases i.e.
either head or tail may come upward.
(ii) Throwing of a die has 6 exhaustive cases
because any one of six digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
may come upward.
(iii) Throwing of a pair of dice has 36 exhaustive
cases because any one of six digits 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6 may come upward on any dice so total
number of exhaustive cases = 6 x 6 = 36.
(iv) Tossing of two and three coins results in 4 and
8 exhaustive cases respectively because head
or tail may come upward on any coin. So in
case of two coins total number of cases = 2 x
2 = 4 and in case of three coins total number
of cases = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
Favourable Events :
Those outcomes of a trial in which a given
event may happen, are called favourable
cases for that event.
For Example -
(i) If a coin is tossed then favourable cases of
getting H is 1.
(ii) If a dice is thrown then favourable case for
getting 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6, is 1.
(iii) If two dice are thrown, then favourable cases
of getting a sum of numbers as 9 are four i.e
(4,5), (5,4),
(3,6), (6,3).
Equally likely events :
Two or more events are said to be equally
likely events if they have same number of
favourable cases.
For Example
(i) The result of drawing a card from a well
shuffled pack of cards, any card may appear in
a draw, so 52 different cases are equally
likely.
(ii) In tossing of a coin, getting of H or T are
two equally likely events.
(iii) In throwing of a dice, getting 1 or 2 or 3
or 4 or 5 or 6 are six equally likely events.
Mutually Exclusive or Disjoint Events :
Two or more events are said to be mutually
exclusive, if the occurrence of one prevents or
precludes the occurrence of the others. In
other words they cannot occur together.
For example,
(i) In tossing of a coin, getting of H or T are
two mutually exclusive events because then
can not happen together.
(ii) In throwing of a dice, getting 1 or 2 or 3 or 4
or 5 or 6 are six mutually exclusive events.
(iii) In drawing a card from a pack of cards,
getting a card of diamond or heart or club or
spade are four mutually exclusive events.
Simple and Compound Events :
If in any experiment only one event can
happen at a time then it is called a simple
event. If two or more events happen together
then they constitute a compound event.
8 | P a g e MATHEMATICS COMPENDIUM CLASS IX


For Example,
If we draw a card from a well shuffled pack of
cards, then getting a queen of spade is a
simple event and if two coins A and B are
tossed together then getting H from A and
T from B is a compound event.
Independent and Dependent Events :
Two or more events are said to be
independent if happening of one does not
affect other events. On the other hand if
happening of one event affects (partially or
totally) other event, then they are said to be
dependent events.
For Example,
(i) If we toss two coins, then the occurrence of
head on one coin does not influence the
occurrence of head or tail on the other coin in
any way. Hence these events are independent.
(ii) Suppose a bag contains 5 white and 4 black
balls. Two balls are drawn one by one. Then
two events that first ball is white and second
ball is black are independent if the first ball is
replaced before drawing the second ball. If the
first ball is not replaced then these two events
will be dependent because second draw will
have only 8 exhaustive cases.
Sample Space :
The set of all possible outcomes of a trial is
called its sample space. It is generally
denoted by S and each outcome of the trial is
said to be a point of sample of S.
For example
(i) If a dice is thrown once, then its sample space
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
(ii) If two coins are tossed together then its
sample space
S = {HT, TH, HH, TT}.
Mathematical Definition of Probability
Let there are n exhaustive, mutually exclusive
and equally likely cases for an event A and m
of those are favourable to it, then probability
of happening of the event A is defined by the
ratio m/n which is denoted by P(A). Thus
P(A) =
=
Note : It is obvious that 0 m n. If an
event A is certain to happen, then m = n thus
P (A) = 1.
If A is impossible to happen then m = 0 and
so
P (A) = 0.
Hence we conclude that
0 P (A) 1
Further, if denotes negative of A i. e.
event that A doesnt happen, then for
above cases m, n ; we shall have
P ( ) = = 1 = 1 P (A)
P (A) + P ( ) = 1
Playing Cards :
(i) Total : 52 (26 red, 26 black)
(ii) Four suits : Heart, Diamond, Spade, Club - 13
cards each
(iii) Court Cards : 12 (4 Kings, 4 queens, 4 jacks)
