19. A box of oranges is inspected by examining three randomly selected oranges drawn without replacement. If all the three oranges are good, the box is approved for sale otherwise it is rejected. Find the probability that a box containing 15 oranges out of which 12 are good and 3 are bad ones will be approved for sale.
19. A box of oranges is inspected by examining three randomly selected oranges drawn without replacement. If all the three oranges are good, the box is approved for sale otherwise it is rejected. Find the probability that a box containing 15 oranges out of which 12 are good and 3 are bad ones will be approved for sale.
19. Let , and be the respective events that the first, second and third drawn orange is good.
Probability that first drawn orange is good=
The orange is not replaced;
Probability of getting second orange is good=
Similarity, probability of gettin
18. If P (A) = 3/5 and P (B) = 1/5 find P (A ∩ B) if A and B are independent events.
18. If P (A) = 3/5 and P (B) = 1/5 find P (A ∩ B) if A and B are independent events.
18.
As and are independent event,
17. If A and B are events such that P (A|B) = P(B|A), then
(A) A ⊂ B but A ≠ B
(B) A = B
(C) A ∩ B = Φ
(D) P(A) = P(B)

Using (i) and (ii),
The correct answer is
15. Consider the experiment of throwing a die, if a multiple of 3 comes up throw the die again and if any other number comes toss a coin. Find the conditional probability of the event “the coin shows a tail”, given that “at least one die shows a 3”.
15. Consider the experiment of throwing a die, if a multiple of 3 comes up throw the die again and if any other number comes toss a coin. Find the conditional probability of the event “the coin shows a tail”, given that “at least one die shows a 3”.
15. The sample space of experiment is
Let, be the event that ‘coin shows a tail’ and be the event that ‘atleast one die shows a ’
Now,
14. Given that the two numbers appearing on throwing two dice are different. Find the probability of the event ‘the sum of numbers on the dice is 4’.
14. Given that the two numbers appearing on throwing two dice are different. Find the probability of the event ‘the sum of numbers on the dice is 4’.
15. When dice is thrown, number of observations in the sample space is
Let, event that the sum of the number on the dice is
event that the two number appearing on throwing two dice is different
Required probability is
13. An instructor has a test bank consisting of 300 easy True/False questions, 200 difficult True/False questions, 500 easy multiple-choice questions and 400 difficult multiple choice questions. If a question is selected at random from the test bank, what is the probability that it will be an easy question given that it is a multiple-choice question?

If a question is selected at random from the test bank, what is the probability that it will be an easy question given that it is a multiple-choice question?
13. Here, there are two types of questions, True/False or Multiple-Choice Questions. They are divided into easy and difficult.
True/False: 300 easy, 200 difficult
: 500 easy, 400 difficult
Let, easy question
multiple choice question
Total number of questions=
Total num
12. Assume that each child born is equally likely to be a boy or a girl. If a family has two children, what is the conditional probability that both are girls given that (i) the youngest is a girl (ii) at least one is a girl?
