उत्तर
If a coin is tossed three times, then the sample space 'S' is,
S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
Total sample space = 23 = 8.
E: Minimum two heads: {HHH, HTH, THH, HHH}
F: At most one head : P(E ∩ F) = `"Number of events occurring"/"Total number"`
= {TTT, HTT, THT, HTT, HHT, HTH, THH}
∴ E ∩ F = {HHT, HTH, THH}
Hence, `P (E) = 4/8 = 1/2, P(F) = 7/8`
and `P (E cap F) = 3/8`
P(E | F) = `(P(E ∩ F))/(P(F))`
`= (3/8)/(7/8)`
= `3/7`

Assume that the chances of a patient having a heart attack is 40%. Assuming that a meditation and yoga course reduces the risk of heart attack by 30% and prescription of certain drug reduces its chance by 25%. At a time a patient can choose any one of the two options with equal probabilities. It is given that after going through one of the two options, the patient selected at random suffers a heart attack. Find the probability that the patient followed a course of meditation and yoga. Interpret the result and state which of the above stated methods is more beneficial for the patient.

Box I contains two white and three black balls. Box II contains four white and one black balls and box III contains three white ·and four black balls. A dice having three red, two yellow and one green face, is thrown to select the box.
