A person can be either right-handed or left-hended. It is given that `90%` of the people are right-handed. Therefore,
`p=P("right-handed")=9/10`
`q=P("left-handed")=1-9/10=1/10`
Using binomial distribution, the probability that at most six people are right-handed is given by
`underset(r=0)overset(6)sum""^(10)C_(r)p^(r)q^(n-r)underset(r=0)overset(6)sum""^(10)C_(r)((9)/(10))^(r)((1)/(10))^(10-r)`
Therfore, the probability that at most 6 people are right-handed
`underset(r=7)overset(10)sum""^(10)C_(r)(0.9)^(r)(0.1)^(10-r)`

Suppose a random variable X follows the binomial distribution with parameters n and p, where `0<p<1` If `P(X=r)/(P(X=n-r))` is independent of n and r,

`becauseP(X=r)=""^(n)C_(r)(p)^(r )(q)^(n-r)=(n!)/((n-r)!r!)(p)^(r )(1-p)^(n-r)[becauseq=1-p]…(i)` `P(X=0)=(1-p)^(n)` and `P(X=n-r)=""^(n)C_(n-r)(p)^(n-r)(q)^(n-(n-r))` `=(n!)/((n-r)!r!)(p)^(n-r)(1-p^(+r)[becauseq=1-p]because""^(n)C_(r)=""^(n)C_(n-r)]...(ii)` Now, `(P(x=r))/(P(x=n-r))=((n!)/((n-r)!r!)p^(r )(1-p)^(n-r))/((n!)/((n-r)!r!)p^(n-r)(1-p)^(+r))` [using eqs. (i) and (ii)] `=((1-p)/p)^(n-r)xx1/((1-p)/p)^(r)` Above expression is independent of n and r, if `(1-p)/p=1rArr1/p=2rArrp=1/2`

A bag contains b blue balls and r red balls. If two balls are drawn at random, the probability drawing two red balls is five times the probability of

Correct Answer - A::B Let the number of red and blue balls be r and b, respectively. Then, the probability of drawing two red balls is `p_(1) = (.^(r )C_(2))/(.^(r+b)C_(2)) =...

One ticket is selected at random from 100 tickets numbered `00,01,02, …, 99.` Suppose A and B are the sum and product of the digit found on the ticket

Correct Answer - B The sum of the digits can be 7 in the following ways: `07,16,25,34,43,52,61,70.` `therefore(A=7)={07,16,25,34,43,52,61,70}` Similarly, `(B=0)={00,01,02...,10,20,30,...,90}` Thus, `(A=7)nn(B=0)={09,70}` `thereforeP((A=7)nn(B=0))=2/100,P((B=0))=19/100` `P(A=7)|B=0=(P((A=7)nn(B=0)))/(P(B=0))` `=(2/100)/(19/100)=2/19`

The probability of event `A` is `3//4`. The probability of event `B`, given that event `A` occurs is `1//4`. The probability of event `A`, given that

Correct Answer - C `(c )` `P(A)=(3)/(4)`, `P(B//A)=(1)/(4)` `P(A//B)=(2)/(3)` `P(B//A)=(P(BnnA))/(P(A))=(1)/(4)` (given) `:.P(BnnA)=(3)/(4)*(1)/(4)=(3)/(16)` Now `P(A//B)=(P(AnnB))/(P(B))=(2)/(3)`(given) `:.P(B)=(3)/(2)*(3)/(16)=(9)/(32)` `:. P(AuuB)=(3)/(4)+(9)/(32)-(3)/(16)=(24+9-6)/(32)=(27)/(32)` `:. P(A^(C )nnB^(C ))=1-P(AuuB)=1-(27)/(32)=(5)/(32)`
