From a pack of well-shuffled cards, two cards are drawn at random. Find the probability that both the cards are diamonds when first card drawn is kept aside

उत्तर
In a pack of 52 cards, there are 13 diamond cards.
Let event A: The first card drawn is a diamond card.
∴ P(A) = `(""^13"C"_1)/(""^52"C"_1)`
= `13/52`
= `1/4`
Let event B: The second card drawn is a diamond card.
Since the first diamond card is kept aside, we now have 51 cards, out of which 12 are diamond cards.
∴ Probability that the second card is a diamond card under the condition that the first diamond card is kept aside in the pack
= `"P"("B"//"A")`
= `(""^12"C"_1)/(""^52"C"_1)`
= `12/51`
= `4/17`
∴ Required probability = P(A ∩ B)
= `"P"("B"//"A") * "P"("A")`
= `1/4 xx 4/17`
= `1/17`

Three friends go to a restaurant to have pizza. They decide who will pay for the pizza by tossing a coin. It is decided that each one of them will toss a coin and if one person gets a different result (heads or tails) than the other two, that person would pay. If all three get the same result (all heads or all tails), they will toss again until they get a different result.
- What is the probability that all three friends will get the same result (all heads or all tails) in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will get a different result in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will need exactly four rounds of tossing to determine who would pay?
