Probablity Exercise very short answer question, question 3

Answer:

The probability that the number has same digit is

\frac{1}{25}

Hint:
Three digit number cannot start with 0 , and hundredth place can have any of the 4 digits.
Given:
Given digits are 0,2,4,6 and 8 . We have to form a number using digits 0,2,4, 6 and 8 .
Explanation:
Since a three digit number cannot begin with the digit 0. The hundredth place can have any of the 4 digits. Also tens & units place can have all the 5 digits.
So S = total possibilities for 3 -digit numbers

n (S) = 4 \times 5 \times 5 = 100

Let A be the event of three digit numbers having all digits same =4
nA=4
Thus,

P A = \frac{n (A)}{n (S)} = \frac{4}{100} = \frac{1}{25}

Probablity Exercise very short answer question, question 7

Answer:

The value of P(B) is

\frac{2}{7}

Hint:

P (A \cup B^{'}) = P (A) + P (B^{'}) - P (A \cap B^{'})

and
If A & B are independent then

P (A \cap B) = P (A) . P (B)

Given

P (A) = 0.3 & P (A \cup B^{'}) = 0.8

Explanation:
It is given that,

P (A) = 0.3 & P (A \cup B^{'}) = 0.8

We know,

P (A \cup B^{'}) = P (A) + P (B^{'}) - P (A \cap B)^{'} \Rightarrow P (A \cup B^{'}) = P (A) + P (B^{'}) - P (A) . P (B^{'}) \Rightarrow 0.8 = 0.3 + P (B^{'}) - 0.3 . P (B^{'}) \Rightarrow 0.5 = P (B^{'}) - 0.3 P (B^{'}) \Rightarrow P (B^{'}) = \frac{0.5}{0.7} = \frac{5}{7}

(since, A and B are Independent)
Also, we know,

P (B) = 1 - P (B^{'}) = 1 - \frac{5}{7} = \frac{2}{7}

Thus, P(B)=

\frac{2}{7}

Probablity Exercise very short answer question, question 8

Answer:

The required probability is

\frac{16}{81}

Hint:

P r o b a b i l i t y o f a n e v e n t = \frac{T o t a l n u m b e r o f f a v o r a b l e o u t c o m e}{T o t a l n u m b e r o f s a m p l e s p a c e}

Given:
A die is rolled four times
Explanation:
When a die is rolled ,
S = Total No. of outcomes
= {1,2,3,4,5,6}
n(S) = 6
Let A be an event of getting not less than 2 & not greater than 5.
⇒ A={2,3,4,5}
n(A)=4

\Rightarrow P (A) = \frac{n (A)}{n (S)} = \frac{4}{6}

Since a die is rolled four times so, the probability in getting four throws

= (\frac{4}{6}) \times (\frac{4}{6}) \times (\frac{4}{6}) \times (\frac{4}{6}) = \frac{16}{81}

Thus, the required probability is =

\frac{16}{81}

Probablity Exercise very short answer question, question 9

Answer:

The required expression is

P (A) + P (B) - 2 P (A \cap B)

Hint:
P(exactly one of 2 events occurs) =

P (A \cup B) - P (A \cap B)

Given:
A and B are two events
Explanation:
It is given that ,
A & B are two events
We need to find expression such that exactly one of two events occurs

\Rightarrow

P( Exactly one of 2 everts occurs )

= P (A \cup B) - P (A \cap B) [∵ P (A \cup B) = P (A) + P (B) - P (A \cap B)] = P (A) + P (B) - P (A \cap B) - P (A \cap B) = P (A) + P (B) - 2 P (A \cap B)

Hence , The required expression is

P (A) + P (B) - 2 P (A \cap B)

Given:
Given set of number is {1,2, 3,……….100}
Explanation:
S = {1,2,3………………….100}
n(S) = 100
Let A be the event that the number is cube.
A = {1,8,27,64}
n(A)=4

P (A) = \frac{n (A)}{n (S)} = \frac{4}{100} = \frac{1}{25}

Hence the required probability is

\frac{1}{25}

probablity exercise Very short answer question, question 11

Answer:

Probability that A loses is

\frac{3}{7}

Hint:
Use the formula,

P (A) = P (A) + P (B) + P (C) = P (S) = 1

Given:

P (A) = 2 P (B) P (B) = 2 P (C)

Explanation:

P (A) = 2 P (B) & P (B) = 2 P (C)

It is given that
Let A denoted the probability that A wins.
We know,

P (A) + P (B) + P (C) = 1 \Rightarrow P (A) + \frac{P (A)}{2} + \frac{P (A)}{4} = 1 \Rightarrow 7 P (A) = 4 \Rightarrow P (A) = \frac{4}{7}

Now, the probability that A losses us

\Rightarrow P (A^{'}) = 1 - P (A) = 1 - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{3}{7}

Thus, the required probability is

\frac{3}{7}

Probablity exercise Very short answer question, question 13

Answer:

Answer :

\frac{1}{4}

Hint:

\begin{aligned} P (\frac{B}{A \cup B^{'}}) = \frac{P (B \cap (A \cup B^{'}))}{P (A \cup B^{'})} \end{aligned}

Given:

\begin{aligned} P (A^{'}) = 0.3 \\ P (B) = 0.4 \end{aligned}

and

\begin{array}{r} P (A \cap B^{'}) = 0.5 \end{array}

Then
Explanation:
We have

\begin{aligned} P (\bar{A}) = 0.3, P (B) = 0.4 \end{aligned}

and

\begin{aligned} P (A \cap \bar{B}) = 0.5 \end{aligned}

According to bay’s theorem

\begin{array}{r} P (\frac{B}{A \cap \bar{B}}) = \frac{P (B \cap (\bar{A} \cap \bar{B}))}{P (\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})} \\ = \frac{P (B \cap (\overset{―}{A \cup B}))}{P (\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})} \end{array}

\begin{array}{r} = \frac{P (\bar{B} \cap (\overset{―}{A \cup B}))}{P (\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})} \\ = \frac{P (\bar{B} \cup (A \cup B))}{P (\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})} \end{array}

Now

\begin{array}{r} \bar{B} \cup B = U = ϕ \end{array}

Where U=universal set
So

\begin{array}{r} P (\bar{B} \cup (A \cup B)) = ϕ \end{array}

Therefore

\begin{array}{r} P (\frac{B}{\bar{A} \cap \bar{B}}) = 0 \end{array}

Probablity exercise Very short answer question, question 14

Answer:

We can write,

P (A \cap B^{'}) = P (A) . (1 - P (B))

Hint:
If A & B are independent then

P (A \cap B) = P (A) . P (B)

Given:
A & B are two independent events
Explanation:
It is given that , A & B are independent
We know,

P (A \cap B^{'}) = P (A) - P (A \cap B)

= P (A) - P (A) . P (B)

{ A & B are independent

P (A \cap B) = P (A) . P (B)

}

\Rightarrow P (A \cap B^{-}) = P (A) (1 - P (B))

Hence,

P (A \cap B^{'}) = P (A) . (1 - P (B))

Probablity exercise Very short answer question, question 15

Answer:

The value of

P (A \cup B) = 0.75

Hint:
Using the formula,

P (B | A) = \frac{P (A \cap B)}{P (A)}

first find

P (A \cap B)

Then using the relation,

P (A \cup B) = P (A) + P (B) - P (A \cap B)

,
Find the required value
Given:
P(A) = 0.3
P(B) = 0.6
P(B|A) = 0.5
Explanation:
We know ,

\begin{aligned} P (B ∣ A) = P (A \cap B) \\ P (B / A) = \frac{P (A \cap B)}{P (A)} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow 0.5 = \frac{P (A \cap B)}{0.3} \\ \Rightarrow P (A \cap B) = 0.5 \times 0.3 \\ \Rightarrow P (A \cap B) = 0.15 \end{aligned}

We know ,

\begin{aligned} P (A \cup B) & = P (A) + P (B) - P (A \cap B) \\ = 0.3 + 0.6 - 0.15 \\ = 0.75 \end{aligned}

Hence ,

P (A \cup B) = 0.75

Probablity exercise Very short answer question, question 16

Answer:

The required probability is

3 p^{2} - 3 p^{3}

Hint:
Use the relation ,
P(atleast two of A,B,C occurs) =

P (A \cap B \cap C^{'}) + P (A \cap B^{'} \cap C) + P (A^{'} \cap B \cap C)

Given:
A, B & C are three independent events such that

P (A) = P (B) = P (C) = p

Explanation:
We have,

P (A) = P (B) = P (C) = p

\Rightarrow P (A^{'}) = P (B^{'}) = P (C^{'}) = 1 - p

Now,
P(atleast two of A,B,C occurs) =

P (A \cap B \cap C^{'}) + P (A \cap B^{'} \cap C) + P (A^{'} \cap B \cap C)

= P (A) . P (B) . P (C^{'}) + P (A) . P (B^{'}) . P (C) + P (A^{'}) . P (B) . P (C)

(

∴

A , B & C are independent )

= p . p (1 - p) + p (1 - p) . p + (p - 1) p . p = p^{2} (1 - p) + p^{2} (1 - p) + p^{2} (1 - p) = (1 - p) 3 p^{2} = 3 p^{2} - 3 p^{3}

Probablity exercise Very short answer question, question 17

Answer:

The required expression is

P (A) + P (B) - 2 P (A) . P (B)

Hint:
If A and B are independent then

P (A \cap B) = P (A) . P (B)

and
P(exactly one of the two events occurs) =

P (A \cup B) - P (A \cap B)

Given:
A and B are independent events
Explanation:
It is given that ,
A and B are independent events
Now ,
P(exactly one of the two events occurs) =

P (A \cup B) - P (A \cap B)

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

= P (A) + P (B) - P (A) . P (B) - P (A) . P (B)

(

∴

A , B are independent)

= P (A) + P (B) - 2 P (A) . P (B)

Hence, the required expression is

P (A) + P (B) - 2 P (A) . P (B)

Probablity exercise Very short answer question, question 18

Answer:

The value of p is

\frac{5}{12}

\frac{1}{3}

Hint:
If A and B are independent then,

P (A \cap B) = P (A) . P (B)

and
P(exactly one of the two events occurs) =

P (A) + P (B) - 2 P (A \cap B)

Given:
A and B are independent events such that
P(A) = p
P(B) = 2p
P(exactly one of A and B occurs) =

\frac{5}{9}

Explanation:
It is given that
P(exactly one of A and B occurs) =

\frac{5}{9}

\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \frac{5}{9} = P (A) + P (B) - 2 P (A \cap B) \\ = p + 2 p - 2 \cdot P (A) \cdot P (B) \end{aligned}

[ since,PA ∩B=PAPB]

⇒

\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \frac{5}{9} = p + 2 p - 2 \cdot p \cdot 2 p \\ \Rightarrow \frac{5}{9} = 3 p - 4 p^{2} \\ \Rightarrow 27 p - 36 p^{2} = 5 \\ \Rightarrow 36 p^{2} - 27 p + 5 = 0 \end{aligned}

Using quadratic formula, we have

\begin{aligned} p & = - \frac{(- 27) \pm \sqrt{(- 27)^{2} - 4 (36) 5}}{2 \times 36} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} = \frac{27 \pm \sqrt{729 - 720}}{72} \\ = \frac{27 \pm \sqrt{9}}{72} \\ = \frac{27 \pm 3}{72} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow p = \frac{27 + 3}{72} or p = \frac{27 - 3}{72} \\ \Rightarrow p = \frac{30}{72} or p = \frac{24}{72} \\ \Rightarrow p = \frac{5}{12} or p = \frac{1}{3} \end{aligned}

Hence, the value of p is

\frac{5}{12}

\frac{1}{3}
