The probabilities that three men hit a target are, respectively, 0.3,0.5 and 0.4. Each fires once at the target. (As usual, assume that the three events that each hits the target are independent)

a Find the probability that they all : (i) hit the target ; (ii) miss the target

b Find the probability that the target is hit: (i) atleast once, (ii) exactly once.

c If only one hits the target, what is the probability that is was the first man?

Three shots are fired at a target in succession. The probabilities of a hit in the first shot is 12, in the second 23 and in the third shot is 34. In exactly one hit, the probability of destroying the target is 13 and in the case of exactly two hits 711 and in the case of three hits is 1.0. Find the probability of destroying the target in three shots.

A certain drug, manufactured by a Company is tested chemically for its toxic nature. Let the event "THE DRUG IS TOXIC" be denoted by H & the event "THE CHEMICAL TEST REVEALS THAT THE DRUG IS TOXIC" be denoted by S. Let PH=a,PSH=PS¯H¯=1a. Then show that the probability that the drug is not toxic given that the chemical test reveals that it is toxic is free from 'a'.

A plane is landing. If the weather is favourable. The pilot landing the plane can see the runway. In this case the probability of a safe landing is p1. If there is a low cloud ceiling, the pilot has to make a blind landing by instruments. The reliability (the probability of failure free functioning) of the instruments needed for a blind landing is P. If the blind landing instruments function normally, the plane makes a safe landing with the same probability p1 as in the case of a visual landing. If the blind instruments fail, then the pilot may make a safe landing with probability p2<p1. Compute the probability of a safe landing if it is known that in K percent of the cases there is a low cloud ceiling. Also find the probability that the pilot used the blind landing instruments, if the plane landed safely.

In a multiple choice question there are five alternative answers of which one or more than one is correct. A candidate will get marks on the question only if he ticks the correct answers. The candidate ticks the answers at random. If the probability of the candidate getting marks on the question is to be greater than or equal to 13, find the least number of chances he should be allowed.
