Probability is not a certainty, but it is the possibility with a heartbeat. In general terms, probability is how likely something is to happen. It is like a number between 0 and 1. If it is 0, it will not happen, but if it is 1, it will definitely happen. Anything in between 0 and 1 means it might happen. In the Probability Class 12 NCERT solutions, students will learn concepts of probability distributions, random variables, Bayes' theorem, and conditional probability thoroughly. The main goal of these solutions by NCERT is to prepare students for the Class 12 board exam as well as other competitive exams.

Conditional Probability: Conditional probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on the occurrence of a preceding event. For two events A and B with the same sample space, the conditional probability of event A given that B has occurred (P(A|B)) is defined as:
P ( A ∣ B ) = P ( A ∩ B ) P ( B ) (when P(B) ≠ 0)
Other conditional probability relationships:
P ( S ∣ F ) = P ( F ∣ F ) = 1 P ( ( A ∪ B ) ∣ F ) = P ( A ∣ F ) + P ( B ∣ F ) − P ( ( A ∩ B ) ∣ F ) P ( E ′ ∣ F ) = 1 − P ( E ∣ F )
Multiplication Rule: The multiplication rule relates the probability of two events E and F in a sample space S:
P ( E ∩ F ) = P ( E ) ⋅ P ( F ∣ E ) = P ( F ) ⋅ P ( E ∣ F ) (when P(E) ≠ 0 and P(F) ≠ 0)
Independent Events: Two experiments are considered independent if the probability of the events E and F occurring simultaneously is the product of their individual probabilities:
P ( E ∩ F ) = P ( E ) ⋅ P ( F )
Bayes’ Theorem: Bayes’ theorem deals with events E1, E2, …, En that form a partition of the sample space S. It allows the calculation of the probability of event Ei given event A:
P ( E i ∣ A ) = P ( E i ) ⋅ P ( A ∣ E i ) ∑ j = 1 n P ( E j ) ⋅ P ( A ∣ E j ) , for i = 1, 2, …, n
Theorem of Total Probability: Given a partition E1, E2, …, En of the sample space and an event A, the theorem of total probability states:
P ( A ) = P ( E 1 ) ⋅ P ( A ∣ E 1 ) + P ( E 2 ) ⋅ P ( A ∣ E 2 ) + ⋯ + P ( E n ) ⋅ P ( A ∣ E n )

Answer:
(i) It is given that P(A)=0.8, P(B)=0.5 and P(B|A)=0.4
P ( B | A ) = p ( A ∩ B ) P ( A )
⇒ 0.4 = p ( A ∩ B ) 0.8
⇒ p ( A ∩ B ) = 0.4 × 0.8
⇒ p ( A ∩ B ) = 0.32
(ii) It is given that P ( A ) = 0.8 , P ( B ) = 0.5 and P ( B ∣ A ) = 0.4 ,
P ( A ∩ B ) = 0.32
P ( A | B ) = p ( A ∩ B ) P ( B )
⇒ P ( A | B ) = 0.32 0.5
⇒ P ( A | B ) = 32 50 = 0.64
(iii) It is given that P ( A ) = 0.8 , P ( B ) = 0.5
P ( A ∩ B ) = 0.32
P ( A ∪ B ) = P ( A ) + P ( B ) − P ( A ∩ B )
⇒ P ( A ∪ B ) = 0.8 + 0.5 − 0.32
⇒ P ( A ∪ B ) = 1.3 − 0.32
⇒ P ( A ∪ B ) = 0.98
Question 4: Evaluate P(A∪B), if 2P(A)=P(B)=513 and P(A∣B)=25
Answer:
Given in the question 2 P ( A ) = P ( B ) = 5 13 and P ( A ∣ B ) = 2 5
We know that:
P ( A | B ) = p ( A ∩ B ) P ( B )
⇒ 2 5 = p ( A ∩ B ) 5 13
⇒ 2 × 5 5 × 13 = p ( A ∩ B )
⇒ p ( A ∩ B ) = 2 13
Use, p ( A ∪ B ) = p ( A ) + p ( B ) − p ( A ∩ B )

By using formula:
p ( A ∪ B ) = p ( A ) + p ( B ) − p ( A ∩ B )
⇒ 7 11 = 6 11 + 5 11 − p ( A ∩ B )
⇒ p ( A ∩ B ) = 11 11 − 7 11
⇒ p ( A ∩ B ) = 4 11
(ii) It is given that - P ( A ) = 6 11 , P ( B ) = 5 11
p ( A ∩ B ) = 4 11
We know that:
P ( A | B ) = p ( A ∩ B ) P ( B )
⇒ P ( A | B ) = 4 11 5 11
⇒ P ( A | B ) = 4 5
(iii) Given in the question-
P ( A ) = 6 11 , P ( B ) = 5 11 and p ( A ∩ B ) = 4 11
Use formula
P ( B | A ) = p ( A ∩ B ) P ( A )
⇒ P ( B | A ) = 4 11 6 11
⇒ P ( B | A ) = 4 6 = 2 3

∴ A ∩ B = ( H 3 )
P ( A ∩ B ) = 1 12
Also, P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) . P ( B )
P ( A ∩ B ) = 1 2 × 1 6 = 1 12
Hence, A and B are independent events.
Answer:
Total outcomes = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 } = 6 .
A is the event, ‘the number is even,’
Outcomes of A = { 2 , 4 , 6 }
n ( A ) = 3.
P ( A ) = 3 6 = 1 2
B is the event, ‘the number is red’.
Outcomes of B = { 1 , 2 , 3 }
n ( B ) = 3.
P ( B ) = 3 6 = 1 2
∴ ( A ∩ B ) = { 2 }
n ( A ∩ B ) = 1
P ( A ∩ B ) = 1 6
Also,
P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) . P ( B )
P ( A ∩ B ) = 1 2 × 1 2 = 1 4 ≠ 1 6
Thus, both the events A and B are not independent.
Question 6: Let E and F be events with P(E)=35,P(F)=310 and P(E∩F)=15. Are E and F independent?
Answer:
Given :
P ( E ) = 3 5 , P ( F ) = 3 10 and P ( E ∩ F ) = 1 5 .
For events E and F to be independent, we need
P ( E ∩ F ) = P ( E ) . P ( F )
P ( E ∩ F ) = 3 5 × 3 10 = 9 50 ≠ 1 5
Hence, E and F are not independent events.
Question 7: Given that the events A and B are such that P(A)=12,P(A∪B)=35 and P(B)=p. Find p if they are
(ii) independent
Answer:
(i) Given,
P ( A ) = 1 2 , P ( A ∪ B ) = 3 5
Also, A and B are mutually exclusive means A ∩ B = ϕ .
P ( A ∪ B ) = P ( A ) + P ( B ) − P ( A ∩ B )
⇒ 3 5 = 1 2 + P ( B ) − 0
⇒ P ( B ) = 3 5 − 1 2 = 1 10
(ii) Given,
P ( A ) = 1 2 , P ( A ∪ B ) = 3 5
Also, A and B are independent events means
P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) . P ( B ) . Also P ( B ) = p .
P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) . P ( B ) = p 2
P ( A ∪ B ) = P ( A ) + P ( B ) − P ( A ∩ B )
⇒ 3 5 = 1 2 + p − p 2
⇒ p 2 = 3 5 − 1 2 = 1 10
⇒ p = 2 10 = 1 5
Question 8: Let A and B be independent events with P(A)=0.3 and P(B)=0.4 Find
(i) P ( A ∩ B )
(ii) P ( A ∪ B )
(iii) P ( A ∣ B )
(iv) P ( B ∣ A )
Answer:
(i) P ( A ) = 0.3 and P ( B ) = 0.4
Given : A and B be independent events
So, we have
P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) . P ( B )
⇒ P ( A ∩ B ) = 0.3 × 0.4 = 0.12
(ii) P ( A ) = 0.3 and P ( B ) = 0.4
Given : A and B be independent events
So, we have
P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) . P ( B )
P ( A ∩ B ) = 0.3 × 0.4 = 0.12
We have, P ( A ∪ B ) = P ( A ) + P ( B ) − P ( A ∩ B )
⇒ P ( A ∪ B ) = 0.3 + 0.4 − 0.12 = 0.58
(iii) P ( A ) = 0.3 and P ( B ) = 0.4
Given : A and B be independent events
So, we have P ( A ∩ B ) = 0.12
P ( A | B ) = P ( A ∩ B ) P ( B )
⇒ P ( A | B ) = 0.12 0.4 = 0.3
(iv) P ( A ) = 0.3 and P ( B ) = 0.4
Given : A and B be independent events
So, we have P ( A ∩ B ) = 0.12
P ( B | A ) = P ( A ∩ B ) P ( A )
⇒ P ( B | A ) = 0.12 0.3 = 0.4
Question 9: If A and B are two events such that P(A)=14,P(B)=12 and P(A∩B)=18, find P(notAandnotB).
Answer:
If A and B are two events such that P ( A ) = 1 4 , P ( B ) = 1 2 and P ( A ∩ B ) = 1 8 ,
P ( n o t A a n d n o t B ) = P ( A ′ ∩ B ′ )
P ( n o t A a n d n o t B ) = P ( A ∪ B ) ′ use, ( P ( A ′ ∩ B ′ ) = P ( A ∪ B ) ′ )
⇒ 1 − ( P ( A ) + P ( B ) − P ( A ∩ B ) )
⇒ 1 − ( 1 4 + 1 2 − 1 8 )
⇒ 1 − ( 6 8 − 1 8 )
⇒ 1 − 5 8
⇒ 3 8
Question 10: Events A and B are such that P(A)=12,P(B)=712 and P(notAornotB)=14. State whether A and B are independent ?
Answer:
If A and B are two events such that P ( A ) = 1 2 , P ( B ) = 7 12 and P ( n o t A o r n o t B ) = 1 4 .
P ( A ′ ∪ B ′ ) = 1 4
P ( A ∩ B ) ′ = 1 4 ( A ′ ∪ B ′ = ( A ∩ B ) ′ )
⇒ 1 − P ( A ∩ B ) = 1 4
⇒ P ( A ∩ B ) = 1 − 1 4 = 3 4
A l s o P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) . P ( B )
P ( A ∩ B ) = 1 2 × 7 12 = 7 24
As we can see 3 4 ≠ 7 24
Hence, A and B are not independent.
Question 11: Given two independent events A and B such that P(A)=0.3,P(B)=0.6, Find
(i) P ( A a n d B )
(iii) P ( A o r B )
(iv) P ( n e i t h e r A n o r B )
Answer:
(i) P ( A ) = 0.3 , P ( B ) = 0.6 ,
Given two independent events A and B .
P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) . P ( B )
⇒ P ( A ∩ B ) = 0.3 × 0.6 = 0.18
Also , we know P ( A and B ) = P ( A ∩ B ) = 0.18
(ii) P ( A ) = 0.3 , P ( B ) = 0.6 ,
Given two independent events A and B.
P ( A a n d n o t B ) = P ( A ) − P ( A ∩ B )
0.3 − 0.18 = 0.12
(iii) P ( A ) = 0.3 , P ( B ) = 0.6 ,
P ( A ∩ B ) = 0.18
P ( A o r B ) = P ( A ∪ B )
P ( A ∪ B ) = P ( A ) + P ( B ) − P ( A ∩ B )
⇒ 0.3 + 0.6 − 0.18
⇒ 0.9 − 0.18
⇒ 0.72
(iv) P ( A ) = 0.3 , P ( B ) = 0.6 ,
P ( A ∩ B ) = 0.18
P ( A o r B ) = P ( A ∪ B )
P ( A ∪ B ) = P ( A ) + P ( B ) − P ( A ∩ B )
⇒ 0.3 + 0.6 − 0.18
⇒ 0.9 − 0.18
⇒ 0.72
P ( n e i t h e r A n o r B ) = P ( A ′ ∩ B ′ )
= P ( ( A ∪ B ) ′ )
= 1 − P ( A ∪ B )
1 − 0.72
0.28
Question 12: A die is tossed thrice. Find the probability of getting an odd number at least once.
Answer:
A die is tossed thrice.
Outcomes = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 }
Odd numbers = { 1 , 3 , 5 }
The probability of getting an odd number at first throw
= 3 6 = 1 2
The probability of getting an even number
= 3 6 = 1 2
Probability of getting even number three times
= 1 2 × 1 2 × 1 2 = 1 8
The probability of getting an odd number at least once = 1 - the probability of getting an odd number in none of throw
= 1 - probability of getting even number three times
⇒ 1 − 1 8
⇒ 7 8

Black balls = 10
Red balls = 8
The probability of getting a red ball in first draw
= 8 18 = 4 9
The ball is repleced after drawing first ball.
The probability of getting a red ball in second draw
= 8 18 = 4 9
the probability that both balls are red
= 4 9 × 4 9 = 16 81
(ii) Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing 10 black and 8 red balls.
Total balls =18
Black balls = 10
Red balls = 8
The probability of getting a black ball in the first draw
= 10 18 = 5 9
The ball is replaced after drawing the first ball.
The probability of getting a red ball in the second draw
= 8 18 = 4 9
the probability that the first ball is black and the second is red
= 5 9 × 4 9 = 20 81
(iii) Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing 10 black and 8 red balls.
Total balls =18
Black balls = 10
Red balls = 8
Let the first ball is black and the second ball is red.
The probability of getting a black ball in the first draw
= 10 18 = 5 9
The ball is replaced after drawing the first ball.
The probability of getting a red ball in the second draw
= 8 18 = 4 9
the probability that the first ball is black and the second is red
= 5 9 × 4 9 = 20 81 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1
Let the first ball is red and the second ball is black.
The probability of getting a red ball in the first draw

Thus,
The probability that one of them is black and the other is red = the probability that the first ball is black and the second is red + the probability that the first ball is red and the second is black = 20 81 + 20 81 = 40 81
(ii) exactly one of them solves the problem
Answer:
(i) P ( A ) = 1 2 and P ( B ) = 1 3
Since, problem is solved independently by A and B,
∴ P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) . P ( B )
⇒ P ( A ∩ B ) = 1 2 × 1 3
⇒ P ( A ∩ B ) = 1 6
probability that the problem is solved = P ( A ∪ B )
P ( A ∪ B ) = P ( A ) + P ( B ) − P ( A ∩ B )
⇒ P ( A ∪ B ) = 1 2 + 1 3 − 1 6
⇒ P ( A ∪ B ) = 5 6 − 1 6
⇒ P ( A ∪ B ) = 4 6 = 2 3
(ii) P ( A ) = 1 2 and P ( B ) = 1 3
P ( A ′ ) = 1 − P ( A ) , P ( B ′ ) = 1 − P ( B )
P ( A ′ ) = 1 − 1 2 = 1 2 , P ( B ′ ) = 1 − 1 3 = 2 3
probability that exactly one of them solves the problem = P ( A ∩ B ′ ) + P ( A ′ ∩ B )
probability that exactly one of them solves the problem = P ( A ) . P ( B ′ ) + P ( A ′ ) P ( B )
⇒ 1 2 × 2 3 + 1 2 × 1 3
⇒ 2 6 + 1 6
⇒ 3 6 = 1 2
(i) E : ‘the card drawn is a spade’
F : ‘the card drawn is an ace’
F : ‘the card drawn is a king’
(iii) E : ‘the card drawn is a king or queen’
F : ‘the card drawn is a queen or jack’.
Answer:
(i) One card is drawn at random from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards
Total ace = 4
total spades =13
E : ‘the card drawn is a spade
F : ‘the card drawn is an ace’
P ( E ) = 13 52 = 1 4
P ( F ) = 4 52 = 1 13
E ∩ F : a card which is spade and ace = 1
P ( E ∩ F ) = 1 52
P ( E ) . P ( F ) = 1 4 × 1 13 = 1 52
⇒ P ( E ∩ F ) = P ( E ) . P ( F ) = 1 52
Hence, E and F are independent events.
(ii) One card is drawn at random from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards
Total black card = 26
total king =4
E : ‘the card drawn is black’
F : ‘the card drawn is a king’
P ( E ) = 26 52 = 1 2
P ( F ) = 4 52 = 1 13
E ∩ F : a card which is black and king = 2
P ( E ∩ F ) = 2 52 = 1 26
P ( E ) . P ( F ) = 1 2 × 1 13 = 1 26
⇒ P ( E ∩ F ) = P ( E ) . P ( F ) = 1 26
Hence, E and F are independent events .
(iii) One card is drawn at random from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards
Total king or queen = 8
total queen or jack = 8
E : ‘the card drawn is a king or queen’
F : ‘the card drawn is a queen or jack’.
P ( E ) = 8 52 = 2 13
P ( F ) = 8 52 = 2 13
E ∩ F : a card which is queen = 4
P ( E ∩ F ) = 4 52 = 1 13
P ( E ) . P ( F ) = 2 13 × 2 13 = 4 169
⇒ P ( E ∩ F ) ≠ P ( E ) . P ( F )
Hence, E and F are not independent events
(a) Find the probability that she reads neither Hindi nor English newspapers

P ( H ) = 60 100 = 6 10 = 3 5
P ( E ) = 40 100 = 4 10 = 2 5
P ( H ∩ E ) = 20 100 = 2 10 = 1 5
the probability that she reads neither Hindi nor English newspapers = 1 − P ( H ∪ E )
= 1 − ( P ( H ) + P ( E ) − P ( H ∩ E ) )
⇒ 1 − ( 3 5 + 2 5 − 1 5 )
⇒ 1 − 4 5
⇒ 1 5
(b) H : 60 o / o of the students read Hindi newspaper,
E : 40 o / o read English newspaper and
H ∩ E : 20 o / o read both Hindi and English newspapers.
P ( H ) = 60 100 = 6 10 = 3 5
P ( E ) = 40 100 = 4 10 = 2 5
P ( H ∩ E ) = 20 100 = 2 10 = 1 5
The probability that she reads English newspaper if she reads Hindi newspaper = P ( E | H )
P ( E | H ) = P ( E ∩ H ) P ( H )
P ( E | H ) = 1 5 3 5
P ( E | H ) = 1 3
(c) H : 60 o / o of the students read Hindi newspaper,
E : 40 o / o read English newspaper and
H ∩ E : 20 o / o read both Hindi and English newspapers.
P ( H ) = 60 100 = 6 10 = 3 5
P ( E ) = 40 100 = 4 10 = 2 5
P ( H ∩ E ) = 20 100 = 2 10 = 1 5
the probability that she reads Hindi newspaper if she reads English newspaper = P ( H | E )
P ( H | E ) = P ( H ∩ E ) P ( E )
P ( H | E ) = 1 5 2 5
P ( H | E ) = 1 2

p ( B | X ) = 2 9
Answer:
Let, A: Outcome on die is 5 or 6.
B: Outcome on die is 1,2,3,4
P ( A ) = 2 6 = 1 3
P ( B ) = 4 6 = 2 3
X: Event of getting exactly one head.
Probability of getting exactly one head when she tosses a coin three times : P ( X | A ) = 3 8
Probability of getting exactly one head when she tosses a coin one time : P ( X | B ) = 1 2
P ( B | X ) = P ( B ) . P ( X | B ) P ( B ) . P ( X | B ) + P ( A ) . P ( X | A )
⇒ P ( B | X ) = 2 3 × 1 2 2 3 × 1 2 + 1 3 × 3 8
⇒ P ( B | X ) = 1 3 1 3 + 1 8
⇒ P ( B | X ) = 1 3 11 24
⇒ P ( B | X ) = 1 × 24 3 × 11 = 8 11
Hence, the probability that she threw 1 , 2 , 3 or 4 with the die =
P ( B | X ) = 8 11
Answer:
Let A: time consumed by machine A = 50 %
B: time consumed by machine B = 30 %
C: time consumed by machine C = 20 %
Total drivers = 12000
P ( A ) = 50 100 = 1 2
P ( B ) = 30 100 = 3 10
P ( C ) = 20 100 = 1 5
D: Event of producing defective items
P ( D | A ) = 1 100
P ( D | B ) = 5 100
P ( D | C ) = 7 100
P ( A | D ) = P ( A ) . P ( D | A ) P ( B ) . P ( D | B ) + P ( A ) . P ( D | A ) + P ( C ) . P ( D | C )
⇒ P ( A | D ) = 1 2 × 1 100 1 2 × 1 100 + 3 10 × 5 100 + 1 5 × 7 100
⇒ P ( A | D ) = 1 2 × 1 100 1 100 ( 1 2 + 3 2 + 7 5 )
⇒ P ( A | D ) = 1 2 ( 17 5 )
⇒ P ( A | D ) = 5 34
Hence, the probability that defective item was produced by A =
P ( A | D ) = 5 34
Answer:
Let A : Event of choosing a diamond card.
B : Event of not choosing a diamond card.
P ( A ) = 13 52 = 1 4
P ( B ) = 39 52 = 3 4
X : The lost card.
If lost card is diamond then 12 diamond cards are left out of 51 cards.
Two diamond cards are drawn out of 12 diamond cards in 12 C 2 ways.
Similarly, two cards are drawn out of 51 cards in 51 C 2 ways.
Probability of getting two diamond cards when one diamond is lost : P ( X | A ) = 12 C 2 51 C 2
P ( X | A ) = 12 ! 10 ! × 2 ! × 49 ! × 2 ! 51 !
⇒ P ( X | A ) = 11 × 12 50 × 51
⇒ P ( X | A ) = 22 425
If lost card is not diamond then 13 diamond cards are left out of 51 cards.
Two diamond cards are drawn out of 13 diamond cards in 13 C 2 ways.
Similarly, two cards are drawn out of 51 cards in 51 C 2 ways.
Probability of getting two diamond cards when one diamond is not lost : P ( X | B ) = 13 C 2 51 C 2
⇒ P ( X | B ) = 13 ! 11 ! × 2 ! × 49 ! × 2 ! 51 !
⇒ P ( X | B ) = 13 × 12 50 × 51
⇒ P ( X | B ) = 26 425
The probability of the lost card being a diamond : P ( B | X )
P ( B | X ) = P ( B ) . P ( X | B ) P ( B ) . P ( X | B ) + P ( A ) . P ( X | A )
⇒ P ( B | X ) = 1 4 × 22 425 1 4 × 22 425 + 3 4 × 26 425
⇒ P ( B | X ) = 11 2 25
⇒ P ( B | X ) = 11 50
Hence, the probability of the lost card being a diamond :
P ( B | X ) = 11 50
Answer:
Let A : A speaks truth
B : A speaks false
P ( A ) = 4 5
P ( B ) = 1 − 4 5 = 1 5
X : Event that head appears.
A coin is tossed , outcomes are head or tail.
Probability of getting head whether A speaks thruth or not is 1 2
P ( X | A ) = P ( X | B ) = 1 2
P ( A | X ) = P ( A ) . P ( X | A ) P ( B ) . P ( X | B ) + P ( A ) . P ( X | A )
⇒ P ( A | X ) = 4 5 × 1 2 4 5 × 1 2 + 1 5 × 1 2
⇒ P ( A | X ) = 4 5 4 5 + 1 5
⇒ P ( A | X ) = 4 5 1 1
⇒ P ( A | X ) = 4 5
The probability that actually there was head is P ( A | X ) = 4 5
Hence, option A is correct.
Question 14: If A and B are two events such that A⊂B and P(B)≠0, then which of the following is correct?
Answer:
If A ⊂ B and P ( B ) ≠ 0 , then
⇒ ( A ∩ B ) = A
Also, P ( A ) < P ( B )
P ( A | B ) = P ( A ∩ B ) P ( B ) = P ( A ) P ( B )
We know that P ( B ) ≤ 1
⇒ 1 ≤ 1 P ( B )
⇒ P ( A ) ≤ P ( A ) P ( B )
⇒ P ( A ) ≤ P ( A | B )
Hence, we can see option C is correct.

Answer:
Let A,E1, E2 respectively denote the event that a person has a heart break, selected person followed the course of yoga and meditation , and the person adopted
the drug prescription.
∴ P ( A ) = 0.40
∴ P ( E 1 ) = P ( E 2 ) = 1 2
P ( A | E 1 ) = 0.40 × 0.70 = 0.28
P ( A | E 2 ) = 0.40 × 0.75 = 0.30
the probability that the patient followed a course of meditation and yoga is P ( E 1 , A )
P ( E 1 , A ) = P ( E 1 ) . P ( E 1 | A ) P ( E 1 ) . P ( E 1 | A ) + P ( E 2 ) . P ( E 2 | A )
P ( E 1 , A ) = 0.5 × 0.28 0.5 × 0.28 + 0.5 × 0.30

P ( E A ) = 0.2
P ( E A a n d E B ) = 0.15
P ( B f a i l s a l o n e ) = P ( E B ) − P ( E A a n d E B )
⇒ 0.15 = P ( E B ) − 0.15
⇒ P ( E B ) = 0.3
P ( E A | E B ) = P ( E A ∩ E B ) P ( E B )
= 0.15 0.3 = 0.5
(ii) Let the 30622event in which A fails and B fails be E A , E B
P ( E A ) = 0.2
P ( E A a n d E B ) = 0.15
P ( B f a i l s a l o n e ) = P ( E B ) − P ( E A a n d E B )
⇒ 0.15 = P ( E B ) − 0.15
⇒ P ( E B ) = 0.3
P ( A f a i l s a l o n e ) = P ( E A ) − P ( E A a n d E B )
= 0.2 − 0.15 = 0.05

Here are some useful links for the NCERT books and the NCERT syllabus for class 12
To solve Bayes' Theorem questions, apply the formula:
P(A | B) = (P(B | A) x P(A)) / P(B)
Here, P(A | B) is the probability of event A given event B, P(B | A) is the probability of event B given A, and P(A) and P(B) are the probabilities of A and B.
The formula for Conditional Probability is:
P(A | B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)
where P(A | B) is the probability of A occurring given that B has occurred.
The basic concepts include understanding random experiments, sample spaces, events (simple and compound), probability rules (addition and multiplication rules), and probability distributions.
To solve these questions, use the Binomial Distribution formula:
P(X = k) = (n choose k) x p^k x (1 - p)^(n - k)
where n is the number of trials, k is the number of successes, and p is the probability of success in each trial.
Classical Probability is based on equally likely outcomes (i.e., all outcomes are equally probable), while Conditional Probability is the probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. The key difference is that Classical looks at all possible outcomes equally, while Conditional focuses on a subset of outcomes based on additional information.

Changing from the CBSE board to the Odisha CHSE in Class 12 is generally difficult and often not ideal due to differences in syllabi and examination structures. Most boards, including Odisha CHSE , do not recommend switching in the final year of schooling. It is crucial to consult both CBSE and Odisha CHSE authorities for specific policies, but making such a change earlier is advisable to prevent academic complications.
