उत्तर
Let A be the event that a blue ball is drawn from each bag.
Probability of drawing one blue ball out of 4 blue balls where there are a total of 9 balls in the first bag and that of drawing one blue ball out of 3 blue balls where there are a total of 10 balls in the second bag is
P(A) = `4/9xx3/10`
Let B be the event that a green ball is drawn from each bag.
Probability of drawing one green ball out of 5 green balls where there are a total of 9 balls in the first bag and that of drawing one green ball out of 7 green balls where there are a total of 10 balls in the second bag is
P(B) = `5/9xx7/10`
Since both, the events are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events
∴ P(that both the balls are of the same colour)
= P(both are of blue colour) or P(both are of green colour)
= P(A) + P(B)
= `4/9xx3/10+5/9xx7/10`
= `12/90+35/90`
= `47/90`

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
In an Office three employees Jayant, Sonia and Oliver process incoming copies of a certain form. Jayant processes 50% of the forms, Sonia processes 20% and Oliver the remaining 30% of the forms. Jayant has an error rate of 0.06, Sonia has an error rate of 0.04 and Oliver has an error rate of 0.03. |
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
- Find the probability that Sonia processed the form and committed an error.
- Find the total probability of committing an error in processing the form.
- The manager of the Company wants to do a quality check. During inspection, he selects a form at random from the days output of processed form. If the form selected at random has an error, find the probability that the form is not processed by Jayant.
