19. Let A ,  B and C be the respective events that the first, second and third drawn orange is good.

P (A)= Probability that first drawn orange is good= 1215

The orange is not replaced;

P (B)= Probability of getting second orange is good= 1114

Similarity, probability of gettin

18. P (A)=35

P (B)=15

As A and B are independent event,

P (A∩B)=P (A).P (A)

=35.15

=325

17. P (A/B)=P (B/A)

P (A/B)=P (A∩B)P (B) ___ (i)

P (B/A)=P (B∩A)P (A) ___ (ii)

Using (i) and (ii),

P (A/B)=P (B/A)

⇒P (A∩B)P (B)=P (B∩A)P (A)  [? B∩A=A∩B]

⇒P (A)=P (B)

∴ The correct answer is  (D).P (A)=P (B)

15. The sample space of experiment is

S={(1,H),(1,T),(2,H),(2,T),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,H),(4,T),(5,H),(5,T),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,3),(6,5),(6,6)}

Let, E be the event that ‘coin shows a tail’ and F be the event that ‘atleast one die shows a 3 ’

⇒E={1T,2T,4T,5T}

F={(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6)}

⇒E∩F=∅⇒P(E∩F)=0

Now,

P(E/F)=P(E∩F)P(F)=0P(F)=0

⇒P(E/F)=0

15. When dice is thrown, number of observations in the sample space is 6×6=36

Let, A: event that the sum of the number on the dice is 4

B: event that the two number appearing on throwing two dice is different

A={(1,3),(2,2),(3,1)}

B={(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6)(2,1),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6)(3,1),(3,2),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6)(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,5),(4,6)(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,6)(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5)}

(A∩B)={(1,3),(3,1)}

P(B)=3036 ,P(A∩B)=236

P(A/B)=P(A∩B)P(B)=2363036=230=115

∴ Required probability is 115

12. Let B and G denote boy and girl respectively.

Sample space, S={GG,BB,GB,BG}

Let, E: Both are girls

E={G,G}

i. Let ,F: youngest is a girl

F={GG,B,G}

E∩F={G,G} ,P(E∩F)=14

P(E/F)=P(E∩F)P(F)=1424=12

ii. Let A: at least one is girl

A={GG,GB,BG}

P(A)=34

E∩A={GG}

P(E∩A)=14

P(E/A)=1434=13

11. The sample space of given condition is

A S={1,2,3,4,5,6}

E={1,3,5} ,F={2,3} ,G={2,3,4,5}

P(E)=36=12 ,P(F)=26=13 P(G)=46=23

(i) P(E/F) and P(F/E)

P(E∩F)=16

P(E/F)=P(E∩F)P(F)=1613=12

and P(F/E)=P(F∩E)P(E)=1612=13

(ii) P(E/G) and P(G/E)

P(E∩G)=26=13

P(E/G)=P(E∩G)P(G)=1323=12

P(G/E)=P(G∩E)P(E)=1312=23

(iii) P((E∪F)/G) and P((E∩F)/G)

(E∪F)={1,2,3,5}

(E∪F)∩G={1,2,3,5}∩{2,3,4,5}

={2,3,5}

and E∩F={3}

(E∩F)∩G={3}

P(E∪G)=46=23

Now,

P((E∪F)∩G)=36=12

So,

P((E∪F)/G)=1223=34

P((E∩F)/G)=1623=312=14

10. When two die are rolled, the sample space has 6×6=36

Let A be obtaining a sum greater than

9={(4,6),(5,5),(5,6),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}

And B be black die result in 5 ,

B={(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6)}

A∩B={(5,5),(5,6)}

a. P(A/E)=P(A∩B)P(B)=236636=13

b. Let,

E: sum of observation is 8

={(2,6),(3,5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2)}

F: Red die resulted in number less than 4

={(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3)(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3)(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3)}

E∩F={(5,3),(6,2)}

P(F)=1836 and P(E∩F)=236

P(E/F)=P(E∩F)P(F)=2361836=218=19
