Probability · Mathematics · Class 12

If for any two events $$\mathrm{A}$$ and $$\mathrm{B}, P(A)=\frac{4}{5}$$ and $$P(A \cap B)=\frac{7}{10}$$, then $$P(B / A)$$ is equals to:

Five fair coins are tossed simultaneously. The probability of the events that atleast one head comes up is:

Assertion (A): Two coins are tossed simultaneously. The probability of getting two heads, if it is known that at least one head comes up, is $$\frac{1}{3}$$.

Reason (R): Let E and F be two events with a random experiment, then $$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{F} / \mathrm{E})=\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E} \cap \mathrm{F})}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E})}$$.

(a) In answering a question on a multiple choice test, a student either knows the answer or guesses. Let $$\frac{3}{5}$$ be the probability that he knows the answer and $$\frac{2}{5}$$ be the probability that he guesses. Assuming that a student who guesses at the answer will be correct with probability $$\frac{1}{3}$$. What is the probability that the student knows the answer, given that he answered it correctly?

(b) A box contains 10 tickets, 2 of which carry a prize of ₹ 8 each, 5 of which carry a prize of ₹ 4 each, and remaining 3 carry a prize of ₹ 2 each. If one ticket is drawn at random, find the mean value of the prize.
