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).

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?

Prove that if E and F are independent events, then the events E and F' are also independent. 

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?

Events A and Bare such that P(A) = `1/2`, P(B) = `7/12` and `P(barA ∪ barB) = 1/4`. Find whether the events A and B are independent or not.

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.

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.

If for any two events A and B, P(A) = `4/5` and P(A ∩ B) = `7/10`, then `P(B/A)` is equal to ______.

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 purpose of Rikli and Jones fitness test? Explain the procedure of any two test items in detail.

Elucidate any four types of fractures.

With the help of suitable examples, discuss the application of Newton’s Laws of Motion in sports.

Assertion (A): Aggression is part of human behaviour and is necessary for an individual to live and struggle for higher achievements.

Reason (R): Aggression is inevitable and inseparable in sport activities.

In the context of the above two statements, which one of the following is correct?

Define strength.

List down the types of flexibility.

What is the electric flux through a cube of side 1 cm which encloses an electric dipole?

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)`
