A fair coin is tossed $$N$$ times. The probability that head does not turn up in any of the tosses is

In a given day in the rainy season, it may rain$$70$$% of the time . If it rains, chance that a village fair will make a loss on that day is $$80$$%. However, if it does not rain, chance that the fair will make a loss on that day is only $$10$$%. If the fair has not made a loss on a given day in the rainy season, what is the probability that it has not rained on that day?

For a random variable $$\,x\left( { - \infty < x < \infty } \right)\,\,$$ following normal distribution, the mean is $$\,\mu = 100\,\,.$$ If the probability is $$\,\,P = \alpha \,\,$$ for $$\,\,x \ge 110.\,\,\,$$ Then the probability of $$x$$ lying $$b/w$$ $$90$$ and $$110$$ i.e., $$\,P\left( {90 \le x \le 110} \right)\,\,$$ and equal to

The random variable $$X$$ takes on the values $$1,$$ $$2$$ (or) $$3$$ with probabilities $$\,{{2 + 5P} \over 5},{{1 + 3P} \over 5}\,\,$$ and $$\,\,{{1.5 + 2P} \over 5}\,\,$$ respectively the values of $$P$$ and $$E(X)$$ are respectively

The life of a bulb (in hours) is a random variable with an exponential distribution $$\,\,f\left( t \right) = \alpha {e^{ - \alpha t}},0 \le t \le \infty .\,\,\,$$ The probability that its value lies $$b/w$$ $$100$$ and $$200$$ hours is

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. The probability that the sum of numbers on both exceeds $$8$$ is

A normal random variable $$X$$ has the following probability density function $$${f_x}\left( x \right) = {1 \over {\sqrt {8\pi } }}e{}^{ - \left\{ {{{{{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^2}} \over 8}} \right\}}, - \infty < x < \infty $$$
Then $$\,\int\limits_1^\infty {{f_x}\left( x \right)dx = } $$

A product is an assemble of $$5$$ different components. The product can be sequentially assembled in two possible ways. If the $$5$$ components are placed in a box and these are drawn at random from the box, then the probability of getting a correct sequence is

A coin is tossed thrice. Let $$X$$ be the event that head occurs in each of the first two tosses. Let $$Y$$ be the event that a tail occurs on the third toss. Let $$Z$$ be the event that two tails occur in three tosses. Based on the above information, which one of the following statements is TRUE?

A simple random sample of $$100$$ observations was taken form a large population. The sample mean and the standard deviation were determined to be $$80$$ and $$12,$$ respectively. The standard error of mean is ______.

Marks obtained by $$100$$ students in an examination are given in the table

What would be the mean, median, and mode of the marks obtained by the students?

A box contains $$4$$ red balls and $$6$$ black balls. Three balls are selected randomly from the box one after another, without replacement. The probability that the selected set contains one red ball and two black balls is

An automobile plant contracted to buy shock absorbers from two suppliers $$X$$ and $$Y$$. $$X$$ supplies $$60$$% and $$Y$$ supplies $$40$$% of the shock absorbers. All shock absorbers are subjected to a quality test. The ones that pass the quality test are considered reliable. Of $$X'$$ s shock absorbers, $$96$$% are reliable. Of $$Y'$$ s shock absorbers, $$72$$% are reliable. The probability that a randomly choosen shock absorber, which is found to reliable, is made by $$Y$$ is

It is estimated that the average number of events during a year is three. What is the probability of occurrence of not more than two events over a two-year duration? Assume that the number of events follow a poisson distribution.

If a random variable $$X$$ satisfies the poission's distribution with a mean value of $$2,$$ then the probability that $$X > 2$$ is

Two white and two black balls, kept in two bins, are arranged in four ways as shown below. In each arrangement, a bin has to be chosen randomly and only one ball needs to be picked randomly from the chosen bin. Which one of the following arrangements has the highest probability for getting a while ball picked?

In a game, two players $$X$$ and $$Y$$ toss a coin alternately. Whoever gets a 'head' first, wins the game and the game is terminated. Assuming that players $$X$$ starts the game the probability of player $$X$$ winning the game is

If $$X$$ is a continuous random variable whose probability density function is given by $$$\,\,\,f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {k\left( {5x - 2{x^2}} \right),} & {0 \le x \le 2} \cr {0,} & {Otherwise} \cr } } \right.\,\,\,\,$$$
Then $$P\left( {x > 1} \right)$$ is
