उत्तर

Five fair coins are tossed simultaneously. The probability of the events that at least one head comes up is `underlinebb(31/32)`.

Explanation:

Total cases = 25 = 32

One of the cases will be all three tails.

So remaining 31 cases are valid.

∴ P(event getting at least one head) = `31/32`.

A fair die is rolled. If face 1 turns up, a ball is drawn from Bag A. If face 2 or 3 turns up, a ball is drawn from Bag B. If face 4 or 5 or 6 turns up, a ball is drawn from Bag C.

Two hundred patients who had either Eye surgery or Throat surgery were asked whether they were satisfied or unsatisfied regarding the result of their surgery

The follwoing table summarizes their response:

Surgery Satisfied Unsatisfied Total
Throat 70 25 95
Eye 90 15 105
Total 160 40 200

If one person from the 200 patients is selected at random, determine the probability that the person was satisfied given that the person had Throat surgery.


A bag contains 3 red and 5 white balls. Two balls are drawn at random one after the other without replacement. Find the probability that both the balls are white.

Solution: Let,

A : First ball drawn is white

B : second ball drawn in white.

P(A) = `square/square`

After drawing the first ball, without replacing it into the bag a second ball is drawn from the remaining `square` balls.

∴ P(B/A) = `square/square`

∴ P(Both balls are white) = P(A ∩ B)

`= "P"(square) * "P"(square)`

`= square * square`

= `square`
