F : ‘the card drawn is a king’

उत्तर
In a deck of 52 cards, 26 cards are black and 4 cards are kings.
∴ P(E) = P(the card drawn is black) = `26/52 = 1/2`
∴ P(F) = P(the card drawn is a king) = `4/52 = 1/13`
In the pack of 52 cards, 2 cards are black as well as kings.
∴ P (EF) = P(the card drawn is a black king) = `2/52 = 1/26`
⇒ P(E) × P(F) = P(EF)
⇒ `1/2 * 1/13 = 1/26`
Therefore, the given events E and F are independent.

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`
