Two integers are selected at random from the set . Given that the sum of selected number is even, the conditional probability that both the numbers are even is:

A dice is rolled three times. Let denotes the event of getting a number larger than the previous number each time and denotes the event that the numbers (in order) form an increasing AP then -

A committee of three person is to be randomly selected from a group of three men and two women and the chairperson is to be randomly selected form the committee. The probability that the committee will have exactly two women and one men, and that the chairperson will be a women, is

There are four machines and it is known that exactly two of them are faulty. They are tested, one by one, in a random order till both the faulty machines are identified. Then the probability that only two tests are needed is

and toss a fair coin each simultaneously times. The probability that both of them will not get tail at the same toss is

A and B draw two cards each, one after another, from a pack of well shuffled pack of 52 cards. The probability that all the four cards drawn are of the same suit is

A pack of cards contains aces, kings, queens and jacks. Two cards are drawn at random from this pack without replacement. The probability that at least one of them will be an ace, is

A box contains transistors, of which are defective. An inspector takes out one transistor at random, examines it for defects and replaces it. After it has replaced another inspector does the same thing and then so does a third inspector. The probability that atleast one of the inspectors finds a defective transistor, is equal to
