Important Questions on Events


A problem in calculus is given to two students and , whose chances of solving it are and respectively. If the probability of the problem being solved, if both of them try independently is then

An electronic assembly consists of two sub system, say, and . When ( fails) , ( fails alone) , ( and fail) . Evaluate .

is a set containing elements. A subset of is chosen at random and the set is reconstructed by replacing the elements of .Another subset of is now chosen at random. Then the probability that if :
have no-common elements is

For next three question please follow the same

A sample space consists of elementary outcomes whose probabilities are
Suppose
Calculate and

Three coins are tossed once. Let denote the event ‘three heads show”, denote the event “two heads and one tail show”, denote the event” three tails show and denote the event ‘a head shows on the first coin”. Which events are simple?

If and are two independent events such that and then is equal to

Let subset of is said to be "nice", if the sum of the elements of is Then the probability that a randomly chosen subset of is "nice" is:

A coin is tossed. If head turns up then pair of dice is thrown and sum of numbers is noted. If tail turns up then a card numbered from to is drawn and number is noted. The probability that the sum of numbers on dice or the number on card is or is:

A problem in mathematics is given to students whose chances of solving individually are and The probability that the problem will be solved at least by one is

The probabilities that Mr. A and Mr. B will die within a year are and respectively, then the probability that only one of them will be alive at the end of the year, is

Two die are thrown simultaneously. The probability of obtaining a total score of is

When a pair of six faced fair dice are thrown, the probability that the sum of the numbers on the two dice is greater than , is

If are probabilities of two mutually exclusive events, then p lies in the interval

If are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events of a random experiment such that and then equals to

The maximum number of possible triangles form by n points in a plane is Now let us consider a regular octagon. Triangles are formed by joining the vertices of a regular octagon and a triangle is selected. Now given the answers of the following questions.
The probability that the selected triangle has exactly one side common with the sides of octagon is

A man alternately tosses a coin and throws a die beginning with coin. The probability that he gets a head before he gets 5 or 6 on the die is

An ordinary die has four blank faces. One face marked 2, an other marked 3. Then the probability of obtaining a total of exactly 12 in 5 throws is
