उत्तर
Two tickets can be drawn out of 25 tickets in 25C2 = `(25 xx 24)/(1 xx 2)` = 300 ways.
∴ n(S) = 300
Let A be the event that product of two numbers is even.
This is possible if both numbers are even, or one number is even, and other is odd.
As there are 13 odd numbers and 12 even numbers from 1 to 25.
∴ n(A) = `""^12"C"_1 + ""^12"C"_1 xx ""^13"C"_1`
= `(12 xx 11)/(1 xx 2) + 12 xx 13`
= 66 + 156
= 222
∴ Required probability = P(A)
= `("n"("A"))/("n"("S")`
= `222/300`
= `37/50`

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.
