Let $$\mathrm{A}$$ and $${B}$$ be two events such that $$P(A / B)=\frac{1}{2}$$ and $$P(B / A)=\frac{1}{3}$$ and $$P(A \cap B)=\frac{1}{6}$$ then, which one of the following is not true?

A coin is tossed until a head appears or until the coin has been tossed three times. Given that 'head' does not appear on the first toss, what is the probability that the coin is tossed thrice?

Suppose we have three cards identical in form except that both sides of the first card are coloured red, both sides of the second are coloured black, and one side of the third card is coloured red and the other side is coloured black. The three cards are mixed and a card is picked randomly. If the upper side of the chosen card is coloured red, what is the probability that the other side is coloured black.

What is the probability of a randomly chosen 2 digit number being divisible by 3 ?

P and Q are considering to apply for a job. The probability that P applies for the job is $$\frac{1}{4}$$. The probability that $$\mathrm{P}$$ applies for the job given that $$\mathrm{Q}$$ applies for the job is $$\frac{1}{2}$$, and the probability that Q applies for the job given that P applies for the job is $$\frac{1}{3}$$. Then the probability that $$\mathrm{P}$$ does not apply for the job given that $$\mathrm{Q}$$ does not apply for the job is

There are some baskets. The chances of picking a loaded basket and choosing a red coloured one is 0.2 . For every 100 tries to pick one basket, 60 times a basket is either loaded or red in colour. What is the probability of choosing an empty basket plus choosing not a red coloured one.

A and B each have a calculator which can generate a single digit random number from the set $$\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8\}$$. They can generate a random number on their calculator. Given that the sum of the two numbers is 12 , then the probability that the two numbers are equal is

The probability that a randomly chosen number from one to twelve is a divisor of twelve is

If the events A and B are mutually exclusive events such that $$P(A)=\frac{1}{3}(3 x+1)$$ and $$P(B)=\frac{1}{4}(1-x)$$ then the possible values of $x$ lies in the interval

An urn contains 2 white and 2 black balls. A ball is drawn at random. If it is white it is not replaced into the urn. Otherwise it is replaced along with another ball of the same colour. The process is repeated. The probability that the third ball drawn is black is

A random variable X with probability distribution is given below

A die is thrown twice and the sum of numbers appearing is observed to be 8 . What is the conditional probability that the number 5 has appeared atleast once?

Bag A contains 3 white and 2 red balls. Bag B contains only 1 white ball. A fair coin is tossed. If head appears then 1 ball is drawn at random from bag A and put into bag B. However if tail appears then 2 balls are drawn at random from bag A and put into bag B. Now one ball is drawn at random from bag B. Given that the drawn ball from B is white, the probability that head appeared on the coin is
