Probability Exercise 30.4 Question 1(i)

Answer: A and B are independent events
Given: A coin is tossed thrice and all the eight outcomes are assumed equally likely.
A= the first throw results in head, B= the last throw results in tail
Hint: Check, P\left ( A\: \cap\: B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
Solution: As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e. P\left ( A\: \cap\: B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
Let,
\begin{aligned} &S=\left\{\begin{array}{l} (\mathrm{HHH}),(\mathrm{HHT}),(\mathrm{HTH}),(\mathrm{HTT}) \\ (\mathrm{THH}),(\mathrm{THT}),(\mathrm{TTH}),(\mathrm{TT}) \end{array}\right\} \\ \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2} \\ &\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2} \\ &\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4} \\ &\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A}) \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B}) \end{aligned}
Thus, A and B are independent events.

Probability Exercise 30.4 Question 2

Answer: A and B are independent events
Given: Prove that in throwing a pair of dice, the occurrence of the number 4 on the first die is independent of the occurrence 5 on the second die.
Hint:Probaility =\frac{No\: of\: outcomes}{Total\: Outcomes}
Solution:
As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e. P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
Here, Total number of events = 36
A = The event of 4 on first die
B = Event of 5 on second die
\begin{aligned} &P(A)=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6} \ldots \ldots .\{(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6)\} \\ &P(B)=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6} \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots . .\{(1,5),(2,5),(3,5),(4,5),(5,5),(6,5)\} \\ &P(A \cap B)=\frac{1}{36} \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots . .\{(4,5)\} \end{aligned}
P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
Hence,A and B are independent events

Answer: A and B are not independent events
Given: A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards so that each card is equally likely to be selected.
A= the card is a king or queen, B= the card drawn is a queen or jack.
Hint:Probaility=\frac{No\: of\: outcomes}{Total\: Outcomes}
Solution: As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e. P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
Let A = Event of King or Queen
P\left ( A \right )=\frac{8}{2}=\frac{2}{13} ….{No. of king and Queen are 4+4=8 and total outcomes=52}
B = Event of Queen or Jack
P\left ( B \right )=\frac{8}{56}=\frac{2}{13} ……{ No. of Jack and Queen are 4+4=8 and total outcomes=52}
P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( Queen \right )
=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{13} …{No. of queen in a pack of cards =4}
P\left ( A\cap B \right )\neq P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
Thus, A and B are not independent events.

Hint: To find events are independent P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
Solution: As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e. P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
Let, A =Event of getting a black card
P\left ( A \right )=\frac{Number\: of\: Black\: Cards}{Total\: Number\: of\: Cards}
=\frac{26}{52}.....(Total \: Number\: of\: black\: cards=26)
=\frac{1}{2}
B = Event of getting an king
P\left ( B \right )=\frac{Number\: of\: Black\: Cards}{Total\: Number\: of\: Cards}
=\frac{4}{52}
=\frac{1}{13}
P\left ( A\cap B \right )=\frac{2}{52}.....\left \{ N.\: of\: black\: kings=2 \right \}
P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
Thus, A and B are independent events.

A= the card is a spade, B= the card drawn is an ace
Hint: Check P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
Solution: As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e. P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
A = No. of cards is spade
P\left ( A \right )\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}...{Total \: no.\: of \: spades=13}
B = No. of cards is ace
P\left ( B \right )=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13} \cdot \cdot \cdot \left \{ Total no. of ace cards=4 \right \}
P\left ( A\cap B \right )=\frac{1}{52}\left \{ {Total no. of ace of spade=1} \right \}
P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
Thus, A and B are independent events.

Answer: A and B are independent events
Hint: Use formula P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )+P\left ( B \right )-P\left ( A\cap B \right )

Given:
P\left ( A \right )=\frac{1}{4}
P\left ( B \right )=\frac{1}{3}
P\left ( A\cap B \right )=\frac{1}{2}

Solution:

As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e. P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )

P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )+P\left ( B \right )-P\left ( A\cap B \right )

P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )+P\left ( B \right )-P\left ( A\cap B \right )

=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{2}

=\frac{3+4-6}{12}

Solution:

As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e.P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )

Now,

\begin{aligned} &P(A \cap B)=P(A) P(B) \\ &\frac{1}{6}=P(A) P(B) \\ &P(A)=\frac{1}{6(P(B))} \end{aligned} ...................(1)

Given: A can solve the problem = \frac{2}{3}
B can solve the problem= \frac{3}{5}
Solution:
As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e. P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
A can solve the problem = \frac{2}{3}
i.e., P\left ( A \right )=\frac{2}{3}

Given:
Three cards are drawn with replacement from a well shuffled pack of cards. Find the probability that the cards drawn are king, queen and jack.
Solution:
Let,
A= Event of getting kings
P\left ( A \right )=\frac{No.\: of\: cards\: of\: king}{Total\: no.of\: cards}=\frac{4}{52}
Similarly, B= Event of getting queens
P\left ( B \right )=\frac{No.\: of\: cards\: of\: queens }{Total\: no.of\: cards}=\frac{4}{52}
C= Event of getting jacks
P\left ( C \right )=\frac{No.\: of\: jack\: cards\: }{Total\: no.of\: cards}=\frac{4}{52}
Probability that cards drawn are king, queen and jack =\frac{4}{52}\times \frac{4}{52}\times \frac{4}{52}\times 3P_{2}
(Permutations has been used because the order of king,queen and jack can be changed)

Given: The odds against event A are 5 to 2. The odds in flavor of event B are 6 to 5.
Solution: As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e.\begin{aligned} P(A \cap B) &=P(A)P(B)\end{aligned}
The odds against event A are 5 to 2.
P(A)=\frac{\text { no.of outcome }}{\text { total outcome }}=\frac{2}{5+2}=\frac{2}{7}

The odds in flavor of event B are 6 to 5

P(B)=\frac{\text { no.of outcome }}{\text { total outcome }}=\frac{6}{6+5}=\frac{6}{11}

  1. Probability of atleast one of the event occurs\Rightarrow

\begin{aligned} P(A \cup B) &=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) \\ &=\frac{2}{7}+\frac{6}{11}-\frac{2}{7} \times \frac{6}{11} \\ &=\frac{22+42-12}{77} \\ &=\frac{52}{77} \end{aligned}

Probability Exercise 30.4 Question 24

Answer: No pair is independent
Hint:Probability=\frac{No\: of\: outcomes}{Total\: outcomes}
Given: Two dice are thrown together and the total score is noted. The event E,F and G are “a total 4”, “a total of 9 or more” and “ a total divisible by 5”
Solution:
S=\left\{\begin{array}{l} (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6), \\ (2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6), \\ (3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6), \\ (4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6) \\ (5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6), \\ (6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6) \end{array}\right\}
\begin{aligned} &n(S)=36 \\ &E=a \text { total of } 4 \\ &\quad=\{(1,3),(2,2),(3,1)\} \\ &\text { ie, } n(E)=3 \end{aligned}

F=a\: total\: of\: 9\: or\: more

=\left\{\begin{array}{l} (3,6),(4,5),(4,6),(5,4),(5,5) \\ (5,6),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6) \end{array}\right\}

i.e,n(f)=10

G=a\: total\: divisible\: by\: 5

=\left\{\begin{array}{l} (1,4),(2,3),(3,2),(4,1), \\ (4,6),(5,5),(6,4) \end{array}\right\}

i.e,n(G)=7

Now,

\begin{aligned} &P(E)=\frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12} \\ &P(F)=\frac{10}{36}=\frac{5}{18} \\ &P(G)=\frac{7}{36} \end{aligned}

Also,

\begin{aligned} &E \cap F=\varnothing, E \cap G=\varnothing \\ &F \cap G=\{(4,6),(5,5),(6,4)\} \\ &\text { ie, } n(F \cap G)=3 \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &P(F) \times P(G)=\frac{5}{18} \times \frac{7}{36} \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &=\frac{35}{648} \\ &\neq \frac{3}{36} \end{aligned}

i.e,P(F)\times P\left ( G \right )\neq P\left ( F\cap G \right )

So, no pair is independent.

Probability Exercise 30.4 Question 25(i)

Answer: P_{1}P_{2}=P\left ( A \& B Occur \right )
Given: Let A and B be two independent events such that
P(A)=p_{1} \& P(B)=p_{2}
Hint: Use, P\left ( A \right )\times P\left ( B \right )=P\left ( A\cap B \right )
Solution:
As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e. P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
As, P_{1}P_{2}=P\left ( A \right )\times P\left ( B \right )
And A and B are independent events
i.e\begin{gathered} P(A) \times P(B)=P(A \cap B) \\ \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} P(A \cap B)=P_{1} P_{2} \end{gathered}
Hence, P_{1}P_{2}=P\left ( A \& B Occur \right )

Probability Exercise 30.4 Question 25(ii)

Answer: \left ( 1-P_{1} \right )P_{2}=P(A does not occur ,but B Occurs)

P\left ( A \right )=p_{1}\&P\left ( B \right )=p_{2}
Hint: Use P\left ( A \right )+P\left ( \bar{A} \right )=1
Solution: As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e. P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
\begin{aligned} &\left(1-P_{1}\right) P_{2}=[1-P(A)] \times P(B) \\ \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} &=P(\bar{A}) \times P(B) \\ \end{aligned}
And A and B are independent events
\begin{aligned} &\text { ie, } \mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{A}}) \times \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{A}} \cap \mathrm{B}) \\ &\text { So, } \mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{A}} \cap \mathrm{B})=\left(1-\mathrm{P}_{1}\right) \mathrm{P}_{2} \end{aligned}
Hence,\left ( 1-P_{1} \right )P_{2}=P(A does not occur ,but B Occurs)

Probability Exercise 30.4 Question 25(iii)

Answer: 1-\left ( 1-P_{1} \right )\left ( 1-P_{2} \right )=P\left ( Atleast\: one\: of\: A\: and\: B\: occurs \right )
Given: Let A and B be two independent events such that
P\left ( A \right )=p_{1}\&P\left ( B \right )=p_{2}
Hint: Use, P\left ( \bar{A}\right )\times P\left ( \bar{B} \right )=P\left ( \bar{A}\cap \bar{B} \right )
Solution:
As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e. P\left ( A\cap B \right )=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )
Given, A and B are independent events
As, \begin{aligned} 1-\left(1-P_{1}\right)\left(1-P_{2}\right) &=1-[1-P(A)][1-P(B)] \\ \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} &=1-P(\bar{A}) \times P(\bar{B}) \end{aligned}
And A and B are independent vectors
\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{A}}) \times \mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{B}})=\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{A}} \cap \overline{\mathrm{B}}) \\ &\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow 1-\left(1-\mathrm{P}_{1}\right)\left(1-\mathrm{P}_{2}\right)=& 1-\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{A}} \cap \overline{\mathrm{B}}) \\ &=1-\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B}}) \\ &=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B}) \end{aligned} \\ \end{aligned}
So,\begin{aligned} &P(\mathrm{~A} \cup \mathrm{B})=1-\left(1-\mathrm{P}_{1}\right)\left(1-\mathrm{P}_{2}\right) \end{aligned}
Hence,1-\left ( 1-P_{1} \right )\left ( 1-P_{2} \right )=P\left ( Atleast\: one\: of\: A\: and\: B\: occurs \right )

Probability Exercise 30.4 Question 25(iv)

Answer: \mathrm{P}_{1}+\mathrm{P}_{2}-2 \mathrm{P}_{1} \mathrm{P}_{2}=\mathrm{P}( Exactly\: \: one \: \: of \mathrm{A} \& \mathrm{~B} occurs )
Given: Let A and B be two independent events such that
P(A)=p_{1} \& P(B)=p_{2}
Hint: P(A) \times P(B)=P(A \cap B)
Solution: As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e. P(A \cap B)=P(A) P(B)
Given,
\begin{aligned} &P_{1}+P_{2}-2 P_{1} P_{2}=\left(P_{1}-P_{1} P_{2}\right)+\left(P_{2}-P_{1} P_{2}\right) \\ \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} &=[P(A)-P(A) \times P(B)]+[P(B)-P(A) \times P(B)] \end{aligned}
And A and B are independent events
i.eP(A) \times P(B)=P(A \cap B)
\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \mathrm{P}_{1}+\mathrm{P}_{2}-2 \mathrm{P}_{1} \mathrm{P}_{2} &=[\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})]+[\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})] \\ &=\mathrm{P}(\text { only } \mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\text { only } \mathrm{B}) \end{aligned}
So, \mathrm{P}( only \mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}( only mathrm{B})=\mathrm{P}_{1}+\mathrm{P}_{2}-2 \mathrm{P}_{1} \mathrm{P}_{2}
Hence, \mathrm{P}_{1}+\mathrm{P}_{2}-2 \mathrm{P}_{1} \mathrm{P}_{2}=\mathrm{P}( Exactly\: \: one \: \: of \mathrm{A} \& \mathrm{~B} occurs )

Probability Exercise 30.4 Question 26

Answer: \frac{126}{1000}
Given:
Probability\: of\: finding\: a\: green\: signal\: on\: X=30%
Hint: Probability=\frac{No\: of\: outcomes}{Total\: outcomes}
Solution:
Given,
Probability\: of\: finding\: a\: green\: signal\: on\: X=\frac{30}{100}=\frac{3}{10}
Probability\: of\:not\: finding\: a\: green\: signal\: on\: X=1-\frac{30}{100}=\frac{7}{10}
Now, Let D_{1},D_{2},D_{3} be the three days for which the signal is green and D{}'_{1},D{}'_{2},D{}'_{3} be the three days for not finding a green signal.
We have to find probability of finding green signal on consecutive two days out of three
So the event would be \left ( D_{1},D_{2},D{}'_{3} \right ) or\left ( D{}'_{1},D_{2},D_{3} \right )
So the probability of finding green signal on consecutive two days out of three
\begin{aligned} &=\mathrm{P}\left(D_{1}, D_{2}, D_{3}^{\prime}\right)+P\left(D_{1}^{\prime}, D_{2}, D_{3}\right) \\ &=\frac{3}{10} \times \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{7}{10}+\frac{7}{10} \times \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{3}{10} \\ &=\frac{63}{1000}+\frac{63}{1000} \\ &=\frac{126}{1000} \end{aligned}
