Probability - MCQ 5 - Question 1

The probability of two persons of passing the interview are 1/3 and 3/5. Then calculate the probability that only one of them pass the interview ?

Detailed Solution for Probability - MCQ 5 - Question 1

(P = pass, F = fail)
ApassBfail + AfailBpass
PF + FP
1/3*2/5 + 2/3*3/5 = 8/15

Probability - MCQ 5 - Question 2

Among a group of 5 boys and 6 girls, 4 members is to be selected for an event. Find the probability that at least one boy is selected ?

Detailed Solution for Probability - MCQ 5 - Question 2

we can solve this by calculating the probability of the opposite event (no boys selected) and subtracting it from 1 (since probabilities of all events must sum to 1).

Here's how:

Step 1: Probability of no boys selected (unfavorable event)

  • We can choose 4 girls out of 6 girls in ⁶C₄ ways (combinations, order doesn't matter).
  • The total number of ways to choose 4 members from 11 (5 boys + 6 girls) is ¹¹C₄ ways.

Probability (no boys) = Favorable cases (girls only) / Total cases = ⁶C₄ / ¹¹C₄

Step 2: Probability of at least one boy (favorable event)

Probability (at least one boy) = 1 - Probability (no boys)

Calculation:

⁶C₄ = (6 * 5 * 4 * 3) / (4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 15 ¹¹C₄ = (11 * 10 * 9 * 8) / (4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 330

Probability (no boys) = 15 / 330 = 1/22

Probability (at least one boy) = 1 - (1/22) = 21/22

Therefore, the probability that at least one boy is selected is 21/22.

1 – 1/2*2/3*5/6 = 13/18

Probability - MCQ 5 - Question 4

A urn contains 4 red balls, 5 green balls and 6 white balls, If one ball is drawn at random, find the probability that it is neither red nor white ?

Detailed Solution for Probability - MCQ 5 - Question 4
