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,
$PA=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\ =\frac{4}{100}\\ =\frac{1}{25}$

Answer:

The required probability is $\frac{5}{6^{4}}$
Hint:
$P(Getting\; three\; number\; that\; are\; consecutive) = \frac{Total\; number \;of \;favorable \;outcome}{Total \;number\; of \;sample \;space}$
Given:
Three numbers are chosen at random from 1 to 20.
Explanation:
Let S be a sample space. A cube has 6 faces
Total Possible Outcomes in 5 throws = $6^{5}$
So $n(S)=6^{5}$
Let A be any event of getting 7 is by getting two 2’s and one 3’s
$n(A)=\frac{5_{P_{3}}}{2!}\\ =\frac{5 \times 4\times3\times2\times1}{3\times2\times1}\times\frac{1}{2\times1}\\ =30$
$P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\ =\frac{30}{6_{5}}\\ =\frac{5}{6^{4}}$
Thus , The required probability is $\frac{5}{6^{4}}$

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:
$Probability \; of \;an \;event = \frac{Total\; number\; of \; favorable\; outcome}{Total\; number\; of\; sample\; space}$
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
$=\left (\frac{4}{6} \right ) \times \left (\frac{4}{6} \right ) \times \left (\frac{4}{6} \right ) \times \left (\frac{4}{6} \right )\\ =\frac{16}{81}$
Thus, the required probability is = $\frac{16}{81}$

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:
$P(A) = 2P(B) \\ P(B) = 2P(C)$
Explanation:
$P(A) = 2P(B)\;\; \& \\ P(B) = 2P(C)$
It is given that
Let A denoted the probability that A wins.
We know,
$P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=1 \\ \Rightarrow P(A)+\frac{P(A)}{2}+\frac{P(A)}{4}=1\\ \Rightarrow7P(A) =4\\ \Rightarrow P(A) =\frac{4}{7 }$
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:
$\begin{aligned} &P\left(\frac{B}{A \cup B^{\prime}}\right)=\frac{P\left(B \cap\left(A \cup B^{\prime}\right)\right)}{P\left(A \cup B^{\prime}\right)} \\ \end{aligned}$
Given:
$\begin{aligned} &P\left(A^{\prime}\right)=0.3 \\ &P(B)=0.4 \end{aligned}$ and
$\begin{aligned} P\left(A \cap B^{\prime}\right)=0.5 \end{aligned}$ 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
$\begin{aligned} P\left(\frac{B}{A \cap \bar{B}}\right)=\frac{P(B \cap(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B}))}{P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})}\\ =\frac{P(B \cap(\overline{A \cup B}))}{P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} =\frac{P(\bar{B} \cap(\overline{A \cup B}))}{P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})}\\ =\frac{P(\bar{B} \cup(A \cup B))}{P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})} \end{aligned}$
Now
$\begin{aligned} \bar{B} \cup B=U=\phi \end{aligned}$ Where U=universal set
So
$\begin{aligned} P(\bar{B} \cup(A \cup B))=\phi \end{aligned}$
Therefore $\begin{aligned} P\left(\frac{B}{\bar {A} \cap \bar{B}}\right)=0 \end{aligned}$

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,
$P(A\cap B')=P(A).(1-P(B))$

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 ,
$\begin{aligned} &P(B \mid A)=P(A \cap B) \\ &P(B / A)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \\ \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 0.5=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{0.3} \\ &\Rightarrow P(A \cap B)=0.5 \times 0.3 \\ &\Rightarrow P(A \cap B)=0.15 \end{aligned}$
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 $3p^{2}-3p^{3}$
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) = $P(A\cap B\cap C')+P(A\cap B' \cap C)+P(A'\cap B \cap C)$
$= P(A).P(B).P(C')+P(A).P(B').P(C) +P(A').P(B).P(C)$
( $\therefore$A , B & C are independent )
$=p.p(1-p)+p(1-p).p+(p-1)p.p\\ =p^{2}(1-p)+p^{2}(1-p)+p^{2}(1-p)\\ =(1-p) 3p^{2}\\ = 3p^{2}- 3p^{3}$

Probablity exercise Very short answer question, question 17

Answer:

The required expression is $P(A)+P(B)-2P(A).P(B)$
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) = $P(A \cup B)-P(A \cap B)$
$=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)-P(A\cap B)$
$=P(A)+P(B)-P(A).P(B)-P(A).P(B)$ ($\therefore$ A , B are independent)
$=P(A)+P(B)-2P(A).P(B)$
Hence, the required expression is $P(A)+P(B)-2P(A).P(B)$

Probablity exercise Very short answer question, question 18

Answer:

The value of p is $\frac{5}{12}$ or $\frac{1}{3}$
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) = $P(A)+P(B) - 2P(A \cap B)$
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
$\begin{aligned} p &=-\frac{(-27) \pm \sqrt{(-27)^{2}-4(36) 5}}{2 \times 36} \\ \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{27 \pm \sqrt{729-720}}{72} \\ &=\frac{27 \pm \sqrt{9}}{72} \\ &=\frac{27 \pm 3}{72} \\ \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow p=\frac{27+3}{72} \text { or } \quad p=\frac{27-3}{72} \\ &\Rightarrow p=\frac{30}{72} \quad \text { or } p=\frac{24}{72}\\ &\Rightarrow p=\frac{5}{12} \quad \text { or } p=\frac{1}{3} \end{aligned}$
Hence, the value of p is $\frac{5}{12}$ or $\frac{1}{3}$
