उत्तर
Let A ≡ the event that the first ball drawn is red
and B ≡ the event that the second ball is drawn is green.
Since there are 10 red and 15 green balls,
P(A) = `10/(10 + 15) = 10/25`
Now, the first red ball is not replaced in the bag, therefore now we have 24 balls containing 15 green balls.
∴ probability of getting second green ball under the condition that first red ball is not replaced in the 15 bag
= `"P"("B"/"A")`
= `15/24`
∴ P(first ball is red and second ball is green) = P(A ∩ B)
= `"P"("A")*"P"("B"/"A")`
= `10/25 xx 15/24`
= `1/4`

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.
