In a class of 125 students 70 passed in Mathematics, 55 in statistics, and 30 in both. Then find the probability that a student selected at random from the class has passes in only one subject.

Correct Answer - `13//25`
Consider the following events:
A: A student is passed in Mathematics
B: A student is passed in Statistics
Then,
`P(A) = (70)/(125), P(B) = (55)/(125), P(A nn B) = (30)/(125)`
Required probability is
`P(A nn barB) + P(barA nn B)`
`=P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A nn B)`
`=(70)/(125) + (55)/(125) - (60)/(125) = (65)/(125) = (13)/(25)`

A bag contains 6 red, 3 black and 6 white balls. A ball is selected at random from the bag, what is the probability that the selected ball is not red?

Correct option is: A) \(\frac{3}{5}\) There are 6 red, 3 black and 6 white balls. \(\therefore\) Total number of balls = 6 + 3 + 6 = 15. Number of balls which are not red =...

In a college, 30% students fail in physics, 25% fail in Mathematics and 10% in both. One student is choosen at random. The probability that she fails

Here, `P((ph))=30/300=3/10,P((M))=25/100=1/4` and `P((McapPh))=10/100=1/10` `therefore P((Ph)/M)=(P(PhcapM))/(P(M))=(1//10)/(1//4)=2/5`

A mapping is select at random from the set of all the mappings of the set `A={1,2, n}` into itself. Find the probability that the mapping selected is

The mapping is from set A to A. So, domain and codomain of function are A. Now, each pre-image in set A can be assigned any one of the images...

`Aa n dB` are two candidates seeking admission in ITT. The probability that `A` is selected is 0.5 and the probability that `Aa n dB` are selected is

Correct Answer - Not possible P(A) = 0.5, `P(A nn B) le 0.3` So, `P(A uu B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A nn B)` gives `P(B) = P(A uu B)...

Two thirds of eth students in a class are boys and the rest girls. It is known that eh probability of a girl getting a first class is 0.25 and that of

Correct Answer - `0.27` We have `P(G)=1//3and P(B)=2//3` ` P(A//G)=0.25and P(A//B)=0.28` Here, A is the event that student chosen will get a first class. So, using total probability theorem, `P(A)=P(B)P(A//B)+P(G)P(A//G)` `2/3xx0.28+1/3xx0.25=0.27`

In a class of 10 student, probability of exactly I students passing an examination is directly proportional to `i^(2).` Then answer the following ques

Correct Answer - B Let P(i) be the probability that exactly I students are passing an examination. Now given that `P(A_(i))=lamda_(i)^(2)(where lamda"is constant")` `impliesunderset(i-1)overset(10)sumP(A_(i))=underset(i-1)overset(10)sum lamdai^(2)=lamda(10xx11xx21)/(6)=lamdaxx386=1` `implieslamda =1//358=5//77.` Let A reprsent the...
