If A and B are two independent events such that `P(barA∩ B) =2/15 and P(A ∩ barB) = 1/6`, then find P(A) and P(B).
Concept: Independent Events
There are three coins. One is a two-headed coin (having head on both faces), another is a biased coin that comes up heads 75% of the times and the third is also a biased coin that comes up tails 40% of the time. One of the three coins is chosen at random and tossed and it shows heads. What is the probability that it was the two-headed coin?

Often it is taken that a truthful person commands, more respect in the society. A man is known to speak the truth 4 out of 5 times. He throws a die and reports that it is a six. Find the probability that it is actually a six.
Do you also agree that the value of truthfulness leads to more respect in the society?

Three persons A, B and C apply for a job a manager in a private company. Chances of their selection are in the ratio 1:2:4. The probability that A, B and C can introduce chances to increase the profits of a company are 0.8, 0.5 and 0.3 respectively. If increase in the profit does not take place, find the probability that it is due to the appointment of A.
Concept: Bayes’ Theorem
The probability that A hits the target is `1/3` and the probability that B hits it, is `2/5`. If both try to hit the target independently, find the probability that the target is hit.

A shopkeeper sells three types of flower seeds A1, A2, A3. They are sold is the form of a mixture, where the proportions of these seeds are 4:4:2 respectively. The germination rates of the three types of seeds are 45%, 60% and 35% respectively.

Based on the above information:
- Calculate the probability that a randomly chosen seed will germinate.
- Calculate the probability that the seed is of type A2, given that a randomly chosen seed germinates.

Recent studies suggest the roughly 12% of the world population is left-handed.
Assuming that P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = P(D) = `1/4` and L denotes the event that child is left-handed. |
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
- Find `P(L/C)` (1)
- Find `P(overlineL/A)` (1)
- (a) Find `P(A/L)` (2)
OR
(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed given that exactly one of the parents is left-handed. (2)

In answering a question on a multiple choice test, a student either knows the answer or guesses. Let `3/5` be the probability that he knows the answer and `2/5` be the probability that he guesses. Assuming that a student who guesses at the answer will be correct with probability `1/3`. What is the probability that the student knows the answer, given that he answered it correctly?

What is the electric flux through a cube of side 1 cm which encloses an electric dipole?
Concept: Electric Flux
An electric dipole of dipole moment`vecp` consists of point charges +q and −q separated by a distance 2a apart. Deduce the expression for the electric field `vecE` due to the dipole at a distance x from the centre of the dipole on its axial line in terms of the dipole moment `vecp`. Hence show that in the limit x>> a, `vecE->2vecp"/"(4piepsilon_0x^3)`
