Praveen Kumar answered |
The sum of all the probabilities is equal to 1.
Therefore, the probability that four or more adults reside in a home = 1 - (0.25 + 0.50 + 0.15)
= 0.10.
Therefore, the probability that four or more adults reside in a home = 1 - (0.25 + 0.50 + 0.15)
= 0.10.

There are 12 even numbers between 1 to 25
Consider the given events.
A = Even number ticket in the first draw
B = Even number ticket in the second draw
Now, P(A) = 12/25
P(B/A) = 11/24
Required probability : P(A⋂B) = P(A) * P(B/A)
= (12/25) * (11/24)
= 11/50
Consider the given events.
A = Even number ticket in the first draw
B = Even number ticket in the second draw
Now, P(A) = 12/25
P(B/A) = 11/24
Required probability : P(A⋂B) = P(A) * P(B/A)
= (12/25) * (11/24)
= 11/50

Hansa Sharma answered |
The probability that both occur simultaneously is 1/6 and the probability that neither occurs is 1/3
Let P(A)=x, P(B)=y
Then P(A)×P(B) = ⅙ becomes xy = 1/6
And [1−P(A)][1−P(B)]=1/3 becomes (1−x)(1−y)=1/3
On Solving for x and y,
we get x=1/3 or x=1/2 which is the probability of occurrence of A.

In each case, the sample space is given by S={1,2,3,4,5,6}.
Let E = event of getting a 1, 2, 3 or 4 on the first toss.
And, F = event of getting a 5, 6,or 7 on the second toss.
Then, P(E) = 4/6 = 2/3
and P(F) = 3/6 = 1/2
Clearly, E and F are independent events.
∴ required probability = P(E∩F) = P(E)×P(F) [∵ E and F are independent]
= 2/3 * 1/2 = 1/3

Praveen Kumar answered |
In a single toss, P(success) = 2/6 = 1/3 and P(non-success) = (1 − 1/3) = 2/3.
P(X=0) = P(non-success in the 1st draw and non-success in the second)
(2/3 × 2/3) = 4/9.
P(X=1) = P(success in the 1st toss and non-success in the 2nd) or (non-success in the 1st toss and success in the 2nd)]
(1/3 x 2/3) + (2/3 × 1/3) = 4/9.
P(X=0) = P(non-success in the 1st draw and non-success in the second)
(2/3 × 2/3) = 4/9.
P(X=1) = P(success in the 1st toss and non-success in the 2nd) or (non-success in the 1st toss and success in the 2nd)]
(1/3 x 2/3) + (2/3 × 1/3) = 4/9.

Sarita Yadav answered |
Let E be the event that the man reports that six occurs in the throwing of the die and
let S1 be the event that six occurs and S2 be the event that six does not occur. Then P(S1) = Probability that six occurs = 1/6
P(S2) = Probability that six does not occur = 5/6
P(E|S1) = Probability that the man reports that six occurs when six has actually occurred on the die
= Probability that the man speaks the truth = 3/4
P(E|S2) = Probability that the man reports that six occurs when six has not actually occurred on the die
= Probability that the man does not speak the truth = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4
Thus, by Bayes' theorem, we get
P(S1|E) = Probability that the report of the man that six has occurred is actually a six
⇒P(S1/E) = (P(S1)P(E/S1))/(P(S1)P(E/S1) + P(S2)P(E/S2))
= (1/6 x 3/4)/(1/6 x 3/4 + 5/6 x 1/4)
= 1/8 x 24/8
= 3/8
let S1 be the event that six occurs and S2 be the event that six does not occur. Then P(S1) = Probability that six occurs = 1/6
P(S2) = Probability that six does not occur = 5/6
P(E|S1) = Probability that the man reports that six occurs when six has actually occurred on the die
= Probability that the man speaks the truth = 3/4
P(E|S2) = Probability that the man reports that six occurs when six has not actually occurred on the die
= Probability that the man does not speak the truth = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4
Thus, by Bayes' theorem, we get
P(S1|E) = Probability that the report of the man that six has occurred is actually a six
⇒P(S1/E) = (P(S1)P(E/S1))/(P(S1)P(E/S1) + P(S2)P(E/S2))
= (1/6 x 3/4)/(1/6 x 3/4 + 5/6 x 1/4)
= 1/8 x 24/8
= 3/8

Alok Mehta answered |
Your hunch is right on track. There are an equal number of odd numbers as there are even numbers painted on a fair die. And there are an equal number of red cards as there are black cards in a standard deck of 52 cards. So the four outcomes you list are equally likely.
More generally:
We can use this same approach in more complicated scenarios, like finding the probability that the number resulting from a toss of a tie is a multiple of 3 and the card drawn from a deck of cards is a queen.

Kiran Mukherjee answered |
Solution:
Given, an urn contains five balls. Let's assume that the five balls are numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
P(both balls are white) = P(WW) = (number of ways of selecting 2 white balls)/(number of ways of selecting any 2 balls)
Number of ways of selecting any 2 balls = 5C2 = 10
Number of ways of selecting 2 white balls = 2C2 (both white balls should be selected from 2 white balls) + 3C0 (0 white balls should be selected from 3 black balls) = 1 + 1 = 2
P(WW) = 2/10 = 1/5
Let's consider the following cases:
Case 1: All the balls are white
Number of ways of selecting 2 white balls from 5 white balls = 5C2 = 10
P(all balls are white) = 10/10C2 = 1/10
Case 2: One ball is black and the other ball is white
Number of ways of selecting 1 black ball from 3 black balls and 1 white ball from 2 white balls = 3C1 x 2C1 = 6
P(one ball is black and the other ball is white) = 6/10C2 = 3/5
Therefore, the probability that all the balls are white given that two balls drawn are white is:
P(all balls are white | WW) = P(WW)/[P(WW) + P(one ball is black and the other ball is white)]
= (1/5) / [(1/5) + (3/5)]
= 1/2
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A'.
Given, an urn contains five balls. Let's assume that the five balls are numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
P(both balls are white) = P(WW) = (number of ways of selecting 2 white balls)/(number of ways of selecting any 2 balls)
Number of ways of selecting any 2 balls = 5C2 = 10
Number of ways of selecting 2 white balls = 2C2 (both white balls should be selected from 2 white balls) + 3C0 (0 white balls should be selected from 3 black balls) = 1 + 1 = 2
P(WW) = 2/10 = 1/5
Let's consider the following cases:
Case 1: All the balls are white
Number of ways of selecting 2 white balls from 5 white balls = 5C2 = 10
P(all balls are white) = 10/10C2 = 1/10
Case 2: One ball is black and the other ball is white
Number of ways of selecting 1 black ball from 3 black balls and 1 white ball from 2 white balls = 3C1 x 2C1 = 6
P(one ball is black and the other ball is white) = 6/10C2 = 3/5
Therefore, the probability that all the balls are white given that two balls drawn are white is:
P(all balls are white | WW) = P(WW)/[P(WW) + P(one ball is black and the other ball is white)]
= (1/5) / [(1/5) + (3/5)]
= 1/2
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A'.

Poojitha Seetha answered |
Given, P(A)=0.3, P(B)=0.9, P(B|A)=0.6,
We know that P(B|A)=P(A ∩ B)/P(A) implies P(A ∩ B)=P(B|A).P(A)
Therefore, P(A ∩ B)=0.6*0.3=0.18. Now P(A|B)=P(A ∩ B)/P(B) implies P(A|B)=0.18/0.9=0.2. So, Correct option is 'D' .

The two events mentioned are independent. The first roll of the die is independent of the second roll. Therefore the probabilities can be directly multiplied.

probability of getting good machine part from A = 88/100
probability of getting good machine part from B = 92/100
P(correction) = (88/100)(92/100)
= 506/625
probability of getting good machine part from B = 92/100
P(correction) = (88/100)(92/100)
= 506/625

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B)
= 0.7 = P(A) + 0.5 - 0.5 P(A)
0.2 = 0.5 P(A)
P(A) = ⅖
P(A) = 0.4
= 0.7 = P(A) + 0.5 - 0.5 P(A)
0.2 = 0.5 P(A)
P(A) = ⅖
P(A) = 0.4

Given that an urn has 3 Red balls and 2 Black balls.
The number of ways in which two balls can be reprsented are {(RR), (RB), (BR), (BB)}
Let X represent the number of black balls. Possible values of X are: X (RR) = 0, X (RB) = 1, X(BR = 1) and X (BB) = 2.
Therefore the possible values of X are 0, 1 and 2.

Explanation:
Definition of Conditional Probability:
- The conditional probability of event F given event E is denoted by P(F|E) and is defined as the probability of the intersection of events E and F divided by the probability of event E. In mathematical terms, P(F|E) = P(E ∩ F) / P(E).
Using Conditional Probability:
- Given that P(E ∩ F) = P(E) * P(F|E), we can rewrite the equation as P(E ∩ F) = P(F|E) * P(E).
- Therefore, P(E ∩ F) = P(F|E) * P(E).
Substitute the Values:
- Now, substitute this equation into the original expression P(E ∩ F) = P(E) * P(F|E).
- We get P(E ∩ F) = P(F|E) * P(E) = P(E) * P(F|E).
Conclusion:
- Therefore, we have shown that P(E ∩ F) = P(E) * P(F|E), which corresponds to option D.

Kritika Khanna answered |
The correct answer is option D: Random experiment, real numbers.
Explanation:
A random variable is a real-valued function that maps each outcome of a random experiment to a real number. To understand why the correct answer is option D, let's break down the terms involved in the question.
1. Random variable:
A random variable is a variable whose value is determined by the outcome of a random experiment. It is denoted by a capital letter like X. The random variable assigns a numerical value to each possible outcome of the experiment.
2. Random experiment:
A random experiment is a process or procedure that generates a set of outcomes. It is characterized by its sample space, which is the set of all possible outcomes of the experiment. Examples of random experiments include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or selecting a card from a deck.
3. Domain and range:
The domain of a function is the set of all possible inputs or values that the function can take. In the context of a random variable, the domain is the sample space of the random experiment, as the values of the random variable are determined by the outcomes of the experiment.
The range of a function is the set of all possible outputs or values that the function can produce. In the case of a random variable, the range is the set of real numbers. This is because the random variable assigns a real number to each outcome of the random experiment.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: Random experiment, real numbers. The domain of the random variable is the sample space of the random experiment, and the range is the set of real numbers.

Vaishnavi Iyer answered |
Solution:
Given,
P(X=1) = 0.6, P(X=0) = 0.4
We know that,
E(X) = ΣxP(x)
So,
E(X) = (0 × 0.4) + (1 × 0.6)
E(X) = 0.6
Now, we need to find the variance of X, which can be calculated as follows:
Var(X) = E(X^2) - [E(X)]^2
We know that,
E(X^2) = Σx^2P(x)
So,
E(X^2) = (0^2 × 0.4) + (1^2 × 0.6)
E(X^2) = 0.6
Therefore,
Var(X) = 0.6 - (0.6)^2
Var(X) = 0.24
Hence, the correct answer is option C, i.e., 0.6 and 0.24.

Var(X) = 0.24
Hence, the correct answer is option C, i.e., 0.6 and 0.24.

The probability of occurrence of event A under the condition that event B has already occurred& P(B)≠0 is called Conditional probability i.e; P(A|B)=P(A ∩ B)/P(B). Multiply with P(B) on both sides implies P(A ∩ B)=P(B).P(A|B). So option 'A' is correct.

However, the test also yields a false positive result for 0.5% of the healthy person tested (i.e. if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability 0.005, the test will imply he has the disease). If 0.1 percent of the population actually has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?- a)22/133
- b)23/133
- c)27/133
- d)25/133
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

A doctor is to visit a patient. From the past experience, it is known that the probabilities that he will come by train, bus, and scooter or by other means of transport are respectively 0.3, 0.2, 0.1 and 0.4. The probabilities that he will be late are 1/4 , 1/3 and 1/12, if he comes by train, bus and scooter respectively, but if he comes by other means of transport, then he will not be late. When he arrives, he is late. The probability that he comes by bus is:- a)1/6
- b)4/9
- c)5/18
- d)1/18
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

The correct answer is B.
Let T1:Event that doctor came by train
T2:Event that doctor came by Bus
T3:Event that doctor came by scooter
T4:Event that doctor came by other means of transport
L :Event that doctor arrives late.
Probability if doctor comes by train if he is late

n(S)=36.
Let A = event of getting sum 8.
= {(2,6),(3,5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2),}
And B = event of getting a number less than 4 on red die.
={(1,1),(2,1),(3,1),(4,1),(5,1),(5,1), (1,2),(2,2),(3,2),(4,2),(5,2),(6,2), (1,3),(2,3),(3,3),(4,3),(5,3),(6,3)}.

Assertion (A) is wrong.
If the probability of an event is 0, then it is called an impossible event.
But Reason (R) is correct.
From Basic Theorem of Probability, P(B – A) = P(B) – P(A), this is true only if the condition given in the question is true.
