From a lot of 25 bulbs of which 5 are defective a sample of 5 bulbs was drawn at random with replacement. Find the probability that the sample will contain -

(a) exactly 1 defective bulb.

(b) at least 1 defective bulb.

From a lot of 15 bulbs which include 5 defectives, a sample of 4 bulbs is drawn one by one with replacement. Find the probability distribution of number of defective bulbs. Hence find the mean of the distribution.

Probability distribution of X is given by

Find the probability distribution of the number of successes in two tosses of a die, where a success is defined as

(i) number greater than 4

(ii) six appears on at least one die

From a lot of 30 bulbs which include 6 defectives, a sample of 4 bulbs is drawn at random with replacement. Find the probability distribution of the number of defective bulbs.

A coin is biased so that the head is 3 times as likely to occur as tail. If the coin is tossed twice, find the probability distribution of number of tails.

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. If X denotes the number of sixes, find the expectation of X.

Two numbers are selected at random (without replacement) from the first six positive integers. Let X denotes the larger of the two numbers obtained. Find E(X).
