Let A and B be independent events such that P(A) = p, P(B) = 2p. The largest value of p, for which P (exactly one of A, B occurs) = $${5 \over 9}$$, is :

A student appeared in an examination consisting of 8 true-false type questions. The student guesses the answers with equal probability. the smallest value of n, so that the probability of guessing at least 'n' correct answers is less than $${1 \over 2}$$, is :

The probability that a randomly selected 2-digit number belongs to the set {n $$\in$$ N : (2ⁿ $$-$$ 2) is a multiple of 3} is equal to :

Let X be a random variable such that the probability function of a distribution is given by $$P(X = 0) = {1 \over 2},P(X = j) = {1 \over {{3^j}}}(j = 1,2,3,...,\infty )$$. Then the mean of the distribution and P(X is positive and even) respectively are :
