81. Total number of balls in the urn = 25

Balls bearing mark 'X' = 10

Balls bearing mark 'Y' = 15

p = P (ball bearing mark 'X') =10/25 = 2/5

q = P (ball bearing mark 'Y') =15/25 = 3/5

Six balls are drawn with replacement. Therefore, the number of trials are Bernoulli trials.

Let Z be the random variable that represents the number of balls with 'Y' mark on them in the trials.

Clearly, Z has a binomial distribution with n = 6 and p =2/5.

∴P=(Z=z)=nCz
pn−zqz

P (all will bear 'X' mark) =P(Z=0)=6C0
(25)6=(25)6

P (not more than 2 bear 'Y' mark) =P(Z≤2)

=P(Z=0)+P(Z=1)+P(Z=2)=6C0
(p)6(q)0+6C1
(p)5(q)1+6C2
(p)4(q)2=(25)6+6(25)5(35)+15(25)4(35)2=(25)4[(25)2+6(25)(35)+15(35)2]=(25)4[425+3625+13525]=(25)4[17525]=7(25)4

P (at least one ball bears 'Y' mark) =P(Z≥1)=1−P(Z=0)

=1−(25)6

P (equal number of balls with 'X' mark and 'Y' mark) =P(Z=3)

=6C3
(25)3(35)3=20*8*2715625=8643125

80. It is given that 90% of people are right handed.

p=P (right handed) =90%=90100=910 and q=P (left handed) =1−910=110

Using Binomial distribution,

Probability more than 6 people are right handed is given by

=∑r=71010cr

prqn−r

=∑r=71010cr

(910)r(110)10−r

Hence, probability of having at most 6 right handed people:

=1−P (more than 6 people are right handed)

=1−∑r=71010cr

(910)r(110)10−r

79. Given, Men having grey hair =5%

Women having grey hair =0.25%

Total people with grey hair = (5+0.25)% =5.25%

Probability that the selected person's hair is of male =55.25=11.05=100105=2021

78. i. Here, Sample space of given condition,

S={(B,B),(B,G),(G,B),(G,G)}

Let, E: denotes the event both children are male

F: denotes the event at least one of the children is a male

∴E∩F={(B,B)}

⇒P(E∩F)=14

Here, P(E)=14 and P(F)=34

⇒P(E/F)=P(E∩F)P(F)=1434=13

ii. Let, A: event that both children are female

B: event that elder child is female

A={G,G} P(A)=14

B={(G,G),(G,B)} P(B)=24=12

A∩B={(G,G)} P(A∩B)=14

P(A/B)=P(A∩B)P(B)

=1412=14*2=12

77. A is a subset of B

⇒A∩B=A

∴P (A∩B)=P (B∩A)=P (A)

=P (B/A)=P (B∩A)P (A)=1

A∩B≠0

(A∩B)=0

⇒P (B/A)=P (B∩A)P (A)=0

76. The repeated tossing of a die are Bernoulli trials. Let X represent the number of times of getting 5 in 7 throws of the die.

Probability of getting 5 in a single throw of the die, p = 1/6

∴q=1−p=1−16=56

Clearly, X has the probability distribution with n=7 and P=16

∴P(X=x)=nCx
qn−xpx=7Cx
(56)7−x.(16)x

P (getting 5 exactly twice) =P(X=2)

=7C2
(56)5.(16)2=21.(56)5.136=(712)+(56)5

75. Let X represent the number of winning prizes in 50 lotteries. The trials are Bernoulli trials.

Clearly, X has a binomial distribution with n = 50 and p = 1/100

∴q=1−p=1−1100=99100∴P(X=x)=nCx
qn−xpx=50Cx
(99100)50−x.(1100)x

P (winning at least once) =P(X≥1)

=1−P(X<1)=1−P(X=1)=1−50C0

(99100)50=1−1.(99100)50=1−(99100)50

P (winning exactly once) =P(X=1)

=50C1

(99100)49.(1100)1=50(1100)(99100)49=12(99100)49

P (at least twice) =P(X≥2)

=1−P(X<2)=1−P(X≤1)=1−[P(X=0)+P(X=1)]=[1−P(X=0)]−P(X=1)=1−(99100)50−12.(99100)49=1−(99100)49.[99100+12]=1−(99100)49.(149100)=1−(149100)(99100)49

74. The repeated guessing of correct answers from multiple choice questions are Bernoulli trials. Let X represent the number of correct answers by guessing in the set of 5 multiple choice questions.

Probability of getting a correct answer is, p = 1/3

∴q=1−p=1−13=23

Clearly, X has a binomial distribution with n=5 and P=13

∴P=(X=x)=nCx
qn−xpx=5Cx
(23)5−x.(13)x

P (guessing more than 4 correct answers) =P(X≥4)

=P(X=4)+P(X=5)=5C4
(23).(13)4+5C5
(13)5=5.23.181+1.1243=10243+1243=11243

73.  X is the random variable whose binomial distribution is B(6,1/2).

Therefore, n = 6 and p = ½

∴q=1−p=1−12=12Then,P(X=x)=nCx
qn−xpx=6Cx
(12)6−x.(12)x=6Cx
(12)6

It can be seen that P (X=x) will be maximum, if 6Cx
 will be maximum.

Then,6C0
=6C6
=6!0!6!=16C1
=6C5
=6!1!5!=66C2
=6C4
=6!2!4!=156C3
=6!3!3!=20

The value of 6C3
 is maximum. Therefore, for x=3, P(X=x) is maximum.

Therefore, P(X=3) is maximum.

72. Let X represent the number of correctly answered questions out of 20 questions.

The repeated tosses of a coin are Bernoulli trails. Since “head” on a coin represents the true answer and “tail” represents the false answer, the correctly answered questions are Bernoulli trials.

∴P=12∴q=1−p=1−12=12

X has a binomial distribution with n=20 and P=12

∴P=(X=x)=nCx
qn−x.px,
 where x=0,1,2,...n

=20Cx

(12)20−x.(12)x=20Cx
(12)20

P (at least 12 questions answered correctly) =P(X≥12)

=P(X=12)+P(X=13)+...+P(X=20)=20C12

(12)20+20C13
(12)20+...+20C20
(12)20=(12)20.[20C12
+20C13
+...+20C20
]
