A. `1//12`
B. `1//6`
C. `1//3`
D. `5//9`

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 means either both are odd or both are even. Therefore, the required probability is
`1/3xx1/3xx2/3xx2/3=1/9+4/9=5/9`

A fair dice is thrown three times. If p, q and r are the numbers obtained on the dice, then find the probability that `i^(p) + i^(q) + i^(r) = 1`, whe

The possbile values of p, q and r are (1, 3, 4), (3, 4, 5), (4, 4, 6) and (2, 4, 4) not in order. `therefore` Number of favourable cases...

Two dice are thrown. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers appearing on the two dice is 11, it 5 appears on the first?

Let event B is "5 appears on the first dice". `thereforeB={(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4).(5,5),(5,6)}` Also, let event A is "sum of the number appearing is 11". `thereforeA={(5,6),(6,5)}` ` thereforeA fnnB=={(5,6)}` Therefore, `P(A//b)=(P(AnnB))/(n(B))=1/6`

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 pair of fair dice is thrown independently three times. The probability of getting a score of exactly 9 twice is (1) 1/729 (2) 8/9 (3) 8/729 (4) 8/24

Correct Answer - C Possiblities of getting 9 are `(5,4),(4,5),(6,43),(3,6).` `thereforep=(4)/(36)=1/9andq=1-1/9=8/9` Therefore, the required probability is `""^(3)C_(2)q^(1)p^(2)=(3)((8)/(9))((1)/(9))^(2)=(8)/(143)`

Correct Answer - B P (4 bases coin)`=1/3` P(5 biased coin) `=1/4` Hence, the required probability is `=1/3(""^(4)C_(3)""^(16)C_(6))/(""^(20)C_(9))+2/3(""^(5)C_(4)""^(15)C_(5))/(""^(20)C_(9))(1)/(""^(11)C_(1))` `=2/33[(""^(16)C_(6)+5""^(15)C_(5))/(""^(20)C_(9))]`

Correct Answer - C `E_(1):{(4,1),...,(4,6)}to6"cases"` `E_(2):{(1,2),...,(6,2)}to6"cases"` `E_(3):"18 cases (sum of both is odd")` `thereforeP(E_(1))=3/6=1/6=P(E_(2))` `P(E_(3))=18/36=1/2` `P(E_(1)nnE_(2))=1/36` `P(E_(2)nnE_(3))=3/36=1/12` Similarly `P(E_(3)nnE_(1))=1/12` `P(E_(1)nnE_(2)nnE_(3))=0` `therefore E_(1),E_(2),E_(3)` are not independent.
