From a pack of well-shuffled cards, two cards are drawn at random. Find the probability that both the cards are diamonds when the first card drawn is replaced in the pack

उत्तर
Let A ≡ the event that first card is diamond
B ≡ the event that second card is also a diamond
Since the first card is replaced in the pack, the two events A and B are independent.
∴ P(A ∩ B) = P(A)·P(B)
The probability of drawing one diamond card out of 52 cards is `13/52`.
∴ P(A) = P(B) = `13/52`
∴ P (both diamond cards) = P(A ∩ B)
= `13/52 xx 13/52`
= `1/16`.

Three friends go to a restaurant to have pizza. They decide who will pay for the pizza by tossing a coin. It is decided that each one of them will toss a coin and if one person gets a different result (heads or tails) than the other two, that person would pay. If all three get the same result (all heads or all tails), they will toss again until they get a different result.
- What is the probability that all three friends will get the same result (all heads or all tails) in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will get a different result in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will need exactly four rounds of tossing to determine who would pay?
