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 :

Let 9 distinct balls be distributed among 4 boxes, B₁, B₂, B₃ and B₄. If the probability than B₃ contains exactly 3 balls is $$k{\left( {{3 \over 4}} \right)^9}$$ then k lies in the set :

Four dice are thrown simultaneously and the numbers shown on these dice are recorded in 2 $$\times$$ 2 matrices. The probability that such formed matrix have all different entries and are non-singular, is :

Let A, B and C be three events such that the probability that exactly one of A and B occurs is (1 $$-$$ k), the probability that exactly one of B and C occurs is (1 $$-$$ 2k), the probability that exactly one of C and A occurs is (1 $$-$$ k) and the probability of all A, B and C occur simultaneously is k², where 0 < k < 1. Then the probability that at least one of A, B and C occur is :
