The probability that a car being filled with petrol will also need an oil change is 0.30; the probability that it needs a new oil filter is 0.40; and the probability that both the oil and filter need changing is 0.15. If a new oil filter is needed, what is the probability that the oil has to be changed?

उत्तर
Let A be the event of changing oil, B be the event of changing oil filter.
Given P(A) = 0.30
P(B) = 0.4
P(A ∩ B) = 0.15
Probability of oil A changed when new oil filter B is changed is P(A/B) = `("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("B"))`
= `0.15/0.40`
= `15/40`
= `3/8`
= 0.375

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?
