  • Question 1/10
    3 / -1

    If A and B are independent events of a random experiments such that

    Solutions

    Since, A & B are independent events.

  • Question 2/10
    3 / -1

    Given two mutually exclusive events A and B such that P(A)=0.45 and P(B)=0.35, Find P(A∩B)

    Solutions

    P(A)=0.45,

    P(B)=0.35 (events are mutually exclusive)

    P(A∩B)=0

  • Question 3/10
    3 / -1

    A problem in mathematics is given to 3 students whose chances of solving individually are 1/2,1/3 and 1/4 The probability that the problem will be solved at least by one is

    Solutions

  • Question 4/10
    3 / -1

    A team of 8 couples, (husband and wife) attend a lucky draw in which 4 persons picked up for a prize. The probability that there is at least one couple is

    Solutions

    8 couples are there out of which 4 persons are picked for a prize.

    P (At least one couple in 4)=1−P ( No Couple in 4)

  • Question 5/10
    3 / -1

    A pair of a dice thrown, if 5 appears on at least one of the dice, then the probability that the sum is 10 or greater, is

    Solutions

    Favourable cases of getting 10 or greater than 10, if 5 appears on atleast one of dice.

    = {(5, 6), (6, 5), (5, 5)}

    Number of favourable cases =3

    Total number of cases =6×6=36

    ∴ Required probability  = 3/36 = 1/12

  • Question 6/10
    3 / -1

    Solutions

  • Question 7/10
    3 / -1

    Coins are marked with a,b;b,c;c,a. All are tossed, probability that two of the faces shows the same letter is

    Solutions

    Total outcomes =2 × 2 × 2 = 8

    Unfavourable outcomes =2 = 2 , , i.e. either (a,b,c) or (b,c,a)

    Hence, required probability = 1 - faces does not show same letter

  • Question 8/10
    3 / -1

    A box contains tickets numbered 1 to N. n tickets are drawn from the box with replacement. The probability that the largest number on the tickets is k is

    Solutions

    Since the tickets are drawn with replacement, the same ticket may be repeated. Since the largest ticket is k, the tickets chosen are from 1 to k.

    Total no. of ways of doing it = kn

    However, k may or may not have been drawn.

    No. of ways of choosing numbers from 1 to (k - 1) = (k - 1)n

  • Question 9/10
    3 / -1

    Probability that in the toss of two dice we obtain an even sum or a sum less than 5, is

    Solutions

    Let A be the event of obtaining an even sum and B be the event of obtaining a sum less 5

    Then, we have to find P(A∪B).Since, A,B are not mutually exclusive, we have

    P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)

    [Since, there are 18 18 ways to get an even sum and 6 6 ways to get a sum less than 5 ie. (1,3), (3,1), (2,2), (1,2), (2,1),(1,1) and 4 ways to get an even sum less than 5, ie,(1,3), (3,1), (2,2), (1,1).]

  • Question 10/10
    3 / -1

    Six faces of an unbiased die are numbered with 2,3,5,7,11 & 13. If two such dice are thrown, then the probability that the sum on the uppermost faces of the dice is an odd number, is

    Solutions

    The sum of two numbered on a dice is odd only, when one number is odd and second is even.

    ∴ Required probability

    = 2× Probability of odd number × Probability of even number

    [ ∵ Here, we multiply by 2 because either the even number is on first or on second dice.]
