The odds against a husband who is 55 years old living till he is 75 is 8: 5 and it is 4: 3 against his wife who is now 48, living till she is 68. Find the probability that at least one of them will be alive 20 years hence.

उत्तर
Let A be the event that husband would be alive after 20 years.
Odds against A are 8: 5
∴ The probability of occurrence of event A is given by
P(A) = `5/(8 + 5) = 5/13`
∴ P(A') = 1 – P(A) = `1 - 5/13 = 8/13`
Let B be the event that wife would be alive after 20 years.
Odds against B are 4: 3
∴ The probability of occurrence of event B is given by
P(B) = `3/(4 + 3) = 3/7`
∴ P(B') = 1 – P(B) = `1 - 3/7 = 4/7`
Since A and B are independent events
∴ A' and B' are also independent events
Let Y be the event that at least one will be alive after 20 years.
∴ P(Y) = P(at least one would be alive)
= 1 – P(both would not be alive)
= 1 – P(A' ∩ B')
= 1 – P(A') . P(B')
= `1 - 8/13 xx 4/7`
= `1 - 32/91`
= `59/91`

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. Bag A contains 3 red and 2 white balls, Bag B contains 3 red and 4 white balls and Bag C contains 4 red and 5 white balls. The die is rolled, a Bag is picked up and a ball is drawn. If the drawn ball is red; what is the probability that it is drawn from Bag B?
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 follwoing table summarizes their response:
| Surgery | Satisfied | Unsatisfied | Total |
| Throat | 70 | 25 | 95 |
| Eye | 90 | 15 | 105 |
| Total | 160 | 40 | 200 |
If one person from the 200 patients is selected at random, determine the probability that person was unsatisfied given that the person had eye surgery
A bag contains 3 red and 5 white balls. Two balls are drawn at random one after the other without replacement. Find the probability that both the balls are white.
Solution: Let,
A : First ball drawn is white
B : second ball drawn in white.
P(A) = `square/square`
After drawing the first ball, without replacing it into the bag a second ball is drawn from the remaining `square` balls.
∴ P(B/A) = `square/square`
∴ P(Both balls are white) = P(A ∩ B)
`= "P"(square) * "P"(square)`
`= square * square`
= `square`
