While shuffling a pack of cards, 3 cards were accidently dropped, then find the probability that the missing cards belong to different suits?
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 ?
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
$$ \mathrm{X}=x_i $$ |
2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
---|---|---|---|---|
$$ \mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{X}=x_i\right) $$ |
$$ \frac{5}{k} $$ |
$$ \frac{7}{k} $$ |
$$ \frac{9}{k} $$ |
$$ \frac{11}{k} $$ |
The mean of this distribution is
A number $$\mathrm{n}$$ is chosen at random from $$s=\{1,2,3, \ldots, 50\}$$. Let $$\mathrm{A}=\{n \in s: n$$ is a square $$\}$$, $$\mathrm{B}=\{n \in s: n$$ is a prime$$\}$$ and $$\mathrm{C}=\{n \in s: n$$ is a square$$\}$$. Then, correct order of their probabilities is
A five-digits number is formed by using the digits $$1,2,3,4,5$$ with no repetition. The probability that the numbers 1 and 5 are always together, is
If a number $n$ is chosen at random from the set $$\{11,12,13, \ldots \ldots, 30\}$$. Then, the probability that $$n$$ is neither divisible by 3 nor divisible by 5, is
Three vertices are chosen randomly from the nine vertices of a regular 9-sided polygon. The probability that they form the vertices of an isosceles triangle, is
If $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events of a random experiment such that $$P(B)=\frac{3}{2} P(A)$$ and $$P(C)=\frac{1}{2} P(B)$$, then $$P(A \cup C)$$ equals to
In a trial, the probability of success is twice the probability of failure. In six trials, the probability of at most two failure will be
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
$$ \text { If } P(B)=\frac{3}{5} \quad P(A / B)=\frac{1}{2} \text { and } P(A \cup B)=\frac{4}{5} \text { then } P(A \cup B)^{\prime}+P\left(A^{\prime} \cup B\right)= $$
