उत्तर

The events are defined as follows:

E: Two ball drawn are white

A: There are 2 white balls in the bag

B: There are 3 white balls in the bag

C: There are 4 white balls in the bag

Then, P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = 1/3

Also,

`P(E/A)=(""^2C_2)/("^4C_2)=1/6`

`P(E/B)=(""^3C_2)/("^4C_2)=3/6 = 1/2`

`P(E/C)=(""^4C_2)/("^4C_2)=1`

∴ Required probability `= P(C/E)`

Apply Baye’s theorem:

`P(C/E) = (P(C).P(E/C))/(P(A).P(E/A) + P(B).P(E/B) + P(C).P(E/C))`

`=(1/3 × 1)/(1/3 × 1/6 + 1/3 × 1/2 + 1/3 × 1) = 3/5`

Thus, the required probability is 3/5.

E : ‘the card drawn is a king or queen’

F : ‘the card drawn is a queen or jack’


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 following table summarizes their response:

Surgery Satisfied Unsatisfied Total
