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 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`


Solve the following:

If P(A ∩ B) = `1/2`, P(B ∩ C) = `1/3`, P(C ∩ A) = `1/6` then find P(A), P(B) and P(C), If A,B,C are independent events.


Solve the following:

If P(A) = `"P"("A"/"B") = 1/5, "P"("B"/"A") = 1/3` the find `"P"("B'"/"A'")`
