MCQ (Single Correct Answer)
A random experiment has five outcomes $\mathrm{w}_1, \mathrm{w}_2, \mathrm{w}_3, \mathrm{w}_4$ and $\mathrm{w}_5$. The probabilities of the occurrence of the outcomes $w_1, w_2, w_3, w_4$ and $w_5$ are respectively $\frac{1}{6}, a, b$ and $\frac{1}{12}$ such that $12 a+12 b-1=0$. Then the probabilities of occurrence of the outcome $w_3$ is
A die has two face each with number ' 1 ', three faces each with number ' 2 ' and one face with number ' 3 '. If the die is rolled once, then $\mathrm{P}(1$ or 3$)$ is
Consider the following statements.
Statement (I): If E and F are two independent events, then $E^{\prime}$ and $F^{\prime}$ are also independent.
Statement (II): Two mutually exclusive events with non-zero probabilities of occurrence cannot be independent.
Which of the following is correct?
If A and B are two non-mutually exclusive events such that $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \mid \mathrm{B})=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B} \mid \mathrm{A})$, then
Meera visits only one of the two temples A and B in her locality. Probability that she visits temple A is $\frac{2}{5}$. If she visits temple $A, \frac{1}{3}$ is the probability that she meets her friend, whereas it is $\frac{2}{7}$ if she visits temple $B$. Meera met her friend at one of the two temples. The probability that she met her at temple B is

If $$A$$ and $$B$$ are two events such that $$P(A)=\frac{1}{2}, P(B)=\frac{1}{2}$$ and $$P(A \mid B)=\frac{1}{4}$$, then $$P\left(A^{\prime} \cap B^{\prime}\right)$$ is
A pandemic has been spreading all over the world. The probabilities are 0.7 that there will be a lockdown, 0.8 that the pandemic is controlled in one month if there is a lockdown and 0.3 that it is controlled in one month if there is no lockdown. The probability that the pandemic will be controlled in one month is
If $$A$$ and $$B$$ are two independent events such that $$P(\bar{A})=0.75, P(A \cup B)=0.65$$ and $$P(B)=x$$, then find the value of $$x$$.
Given that, $$A$$ and $$B$$ are two events such that $$P(B)=\frac{3}{5}, P\left(\frac{A}{B}\right)=\frac{1}{2}$$ and $$P(A \cup B)=\frac{4}{5}$$, then $$P(A)$$ is equal to
If $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ are three independent events such that $$P(A)=P(B)=P(C)=P$$, then $$P$$ (at least two of $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ occur) is equal to
Two dice are thrown. If it is known that the sum of numbers on the dice was less than 6 the probability of getting a sum as 3 is
A car manufacturing factory has two plants $$X$$ and $$Y$$. Plant $$X$$ manufactures $$70 \%$$ of cars and plant $$Y$$ manufactures $$30 \%$$ of cars. $$80 \%$$ of cars at plant $$X$$ and $$90 %$$ of cars at plant $$Y$$ are rated as standard quality. A car is chosen at random and is found to be standard quality. The probability that it has come from plant $$X$$ is :
