Solution
The number of two digits can be formed from the given 9 digits in 9 × 9 = 81 different ways.
∴ n(S) = 81
Let A be the event that the number is even and less than 60.
Since the number is even, the unit place of two digits can be filled in 4P1 = 4 different ways by anyone of the digits 2, 4, 6, 8.
Also, the number is less than 60, so tenth place can be filled in 5P1 = 5 different ways by anyone of the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
∴ n(A) = 4 × 5 = 20
∴ Required probability = P(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("S")) = 20/81`

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.
