Required Probability
Given, n = 5 and r = 3
Then, Success P = 3/4
Failure, q = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4
Man hit the target thrice
= 5c3 (3/4)3 (1/4)2 + 5c4 (3/4)3 (1/4) + 5c3(3/4)5
= (270/1024) + (405/1024) + (243/1024)
= 918/1024
= 459/512
Total number of favourable outcomes n(S) = 63 = 216
Combinations of outcomes for getting sum of 15 on uppermost face = (4, 5, 6), (5, 4, 6), ( 6, 5, 4), (5, 6, 4), (4, 6, 5), (6, 4, 5), (5, 5, 5),(6, 6, 3), (6, 3, 6), (3, 6, 6)
Now, outcomes on which first roll was a four, n(E) = (4, 5, 6),(4, 6, 5)
? P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 2/216 =1/108
Number of 4- digit numbers which are formed with 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 = 5P4
= 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 = 120 = n (s)
Number of 4 digit number which are formed with 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and are divisible by 5 = 4P3
= 4 x 3 x 2 = 24 = n (E)
? p(E) = n(E)/n( s) = 24/120
= 1/5
Total number of possible outcomes
= 12C3 = 220
Number of events which do not contain blue marbles (3 marbles out of 7 marbles) = 7C3 = 35
? Required probability = 1 - 35/220 = 37/44
Vowels are A I A I O,
C A S T I G A T I O N
(O) (E) (O) (E) (O) (E) (O) (E) (O) (E) (O)
So there are 5 even places in which five vowels can be arranged and in rest of 6 places 6 constants can be arranged as follows :
Here, s={H,T} and E={H}
P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 1/2
P(odd) = P (even) = 1(because there are 50 odd and 50 even numbers)
Sum or the three numbers can be odd only under the following 4 scenarios:
Odd + Odd + Odd = =
Odd + Even + Even = =
Even + Odd + Even = =
Even + Even + Odd = =
Other combinations of odd and even will give even numbers.
Adding up the 4 scenarios above:
= + + + = =
Probability of occurrence of an event,
P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes = n(E)/n(S)
? Probability of getting head in one coin = ½,
? Probability of not getting head in one coin = 1- ½ = ½,
Hence,
All the 11 tosses are independent of each other.
? Required probability of getting only 2 times heads =
We know that:
When one card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards
The numbers of possible outcomes n(s) = 52
We know that there are 26 red cards in the pack of 52 cards
? The numbers of favorable outcomes n(E) = 26
Probability of occurrence of an event: P(E)=Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes=n(E)/n(S)
? required probability = 26/52 = 1/2.
