Probability of success is 3/6=1/2.
`thereforep=1/2andq=1/2`
(i) For exactly 4 successes, the required probability is `""^(7)C_(4)((1)/(2))^(4)((1)/(2))^(3)=35/128`
(ii) For at least 4 successes, the required probability is `""^(7)C_(4)((1)/(4))^(4)((1)/(2))^(3)+""^(7)C_(5)((1)/(2))^(5)((1)/(2))^(2)`
`+""^(7)C_(6)((1)/(2))^(6)((1)/(2))^(1)+""^(7)C_(7)((1)/(2))^(7)`
`=35/128+21/128+7/128+1/128=64/128=1/2`

For a loaded die, the probabilities of outcomes are given as under: `P(1)=P(2)=2/(10),P(3)=P(5)=P(6)=1/(10)a n dP(4)=3/(10)` The die is thrown two tim

for a loaded die, it is given that P(1)=P(2)=0.2, P(3)=P(5)=P(6)=0.1 and P(4)=0.3 Also, die is thrown two times. Here, A = same number each time and B= Total sore is...

If a die is thrown and a card is selected at random from a deck of playing cards, than the probability of getting an even number on the die and a spad

Let `E_(1)`=Event for getting an even number on the die and `E_(2)`=Event that a spade card is selected `thereforeP(E_(1))=3/6=1/2andP(E_(2))=13/52=1/4` Then, `P(E_(1)capE_(2))=P(E_(1))cdotP(E_(2))=1/2cdot1/4=1/8`

Four die are thrown simultaneously. The probability that 4 and 3 appear on two of the die given that 5 and 6 have appeared on other two die is

Correct Answer - C Given that 5 and 6 have appeared on two of the dice, the sample space reduces to `6^(4) - 2 xx 5^(4) + 4^(4)` (inclusion-exclusion principle). Also,...

Equation `1+x^2+2x"sin"(cos^(-1)y)=0` is satisfied by exactly one value of `x` exactly two value of `x` exactly one value of `y` exactly two value of

Correct Answer - A::C Given equation is `x^(2) + 2x sin(cos^(-1) y) + 1 =0` Since x is real, `D ge 0`. Therefore, `4(sin(cos^(-1)y))^(2) -4 ge 0` or `(sin(cos^(-1)y))^(2) ge 1`...

A six-faced dice is so biased that it is twice as likely to show an even number as an odd number when thrown. It is thrown twice, the probability that

Correct Answer - D Let the probability for getting an odd number be p. Therfore the probability for getting an even number is 2p. `thereforep+2p=1orp=1/3` Sum of two numbers is even...

A die is thrown a fixed number of times. If probability of getting even number 3 times is same as the probability of getting even number 4 times, then

Correct Answer - D According to the givn condition, `""^(n)C_(3)((1)/(2))^(n)=""^(n)C_(4)((1)/(2))^(n),` where n is the number of times die is thrown. `therefore""^(n)C_(3)=""^(n)C_(4)impliesn=7` Thus, the required probability is `=""^(7)C_(1)((1)/(2))^(7)=(7)/(2^(7))=(7)/(128)`

A coin is tossed `2n` times. The chance that the number of times one gets head is not equal to the number of times one gets tails is `((2n !))/((n !)^

Correct Answer - C The required probability is 1- probability of getting equal number of heads and tails `=1-""^(2n)C_(n)((1)/(2))^(n)((1)/(2))^(2n-n)` `=1-((2n)!)/((n!)^(2))xx(1)/(4^(n))`

A die is thrown three times. The chance that the highest number shown on the die is 4 is p, then the value of `[1//p]` is where [.] represents greates

Correct Answer - 5 Highest number in three three throws is 4, which means at least one of the throws must be equal to 4. Number of ways when three blocks...
