Events & Basic Probability Laws: NEB Class 11 Maths Guide
Master Events and Basic Probability Laws through clear concepts, representations, a reliable answer method and exam-focused practice.

Concepts · Worked reasoning · NEB practice
Quick answer: Probability models uncertain outcomes using sample spaces and events. Complements, unions, intersections, conditional relationships and independence must be represented before formulas are applied.
Core concept
What Events and Basic Probability Laws means physically
Probability models uncertain outcomes using sample spaces and events. Complements, unions, intersections, conditional relationships and independence must be represented before formulas are applied.
P(Aᶜ)=1−P(A); P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B); for independent events P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B).
The institutional reference gives the wider physical model; the CDC curriculum determines the NEB boundary.
Worked checkpoint with interpretation
For a fair die, A={even}, B={greater than 3}; P(A∪B)=3/6+3/6−2/6=4/6.
Do not stop at the number. State what the sign, ratio, spacing, frequency or direction means. A common error is Adding probabilities of overlapping events without subtraction, assuming independence from mutual exclusivity, or counting outcomes that are not equally likely as equal.
NEB answer method
Model → evidence → equation → check
First identify the system and what the question asks. Label the diagram, apparatus or reaction with SI quantities, then state the principle before selecting an equation. Solve symbolically where possible and check units, limiting cases and chemical or physical meaning.
| Stage | Question | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Model | What is idealised? | Assumption stated |
| Representation | Which diagram fits? | Labels or balanced equation |
| Calculation | Which relation follows? | Symbols then SI values |
| Evaluation | Does it make sense? | Unit, sign and trend check |
Make the idea concrete in Nepal
Connect the model to a school laboratory, household technology, health, environment, energy or local material. The example should clarify the science rather than merely mention a place. Compare a prediction with an observation and record uncertainty.

Questions students ask about Events and Basic Probability Laws
What is the central idea of Events and Basic Probability Laws?
Probability models uncertain outcomes using sample spaces and events. Complements, unions, intersections, conditional relationships and independence must be represented before formulas are applied.
Which equation should I remember?
P(Aᶜ)=1−P(A); P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B); for independent events P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B).
How should I begin a numerical?
Draw the situation, list known quantities in SI units, choose the governing relation symbolically, substitute once and finish with a unit and reasonableness check.
What is a common exam mistake?
Adding probabilities of overlapping events without subtraction, assuming independence from mutual exclusivity, or counting outcomes that are not equally likely as equal.
How can I practise this topic?
Alternate one concept explanation, one diagram and two numericals. Revisit errors after a day instead of only rereading the solution.
Where can I get tuition support?
