Correct Answer - A
We are given that
`P(AnnB)=P(A)P(B)`
`P(BnnC)=P(B)P(C)`
`P(CnnA)=P(C)P(A)`
`P(AnnBnnC)=P(A)(B)P(C)`
We have, `P(Avv(BnnC)=P(A)(B)P(C)=P(A)P(B)P(C)=P(A)P(BnnC)`
`impliesA and BnnC` are independent
Therefore, `S_(2)` is true. Also,
`P[(Ann(BuuC)]=P[(AnnB)uu(AnnB)nn(AnnC)]`
`=P(AnnB)+P(AnnC)-P(AnnBnnC)`
`=P(A)P(B)+P(A)P(C)-P(A)P(B)P(C)`
`P(A)[P(B)+P(C)-P(B)P(C)]`
`P(A)[P(B)+P(C)-P(BnnC)]`
`=P(A)P(BnnC)`

If A,B and C are three independent events such that P(A)=P(B)=P(C )=p, then P (atleast two of A,B and C occur)=`3p^(2)-2p^(3)`

True P(atleast two of A,B and C are occur) `=pxxpxx(1-p)+(1-p)cdotpcdotp+p(1-p)cdotp+pcdotpcdotp` `=p^(2)[1-p+1-p+1-p+p]` `=p^(2)(3-3p)+p^(3)` `=3p^(2)-3p^(3)+p^(3)=3p^(2)-2p^(3)`

A coin is tossed three times. Event A: two heads appear Event B: last should be head Then identify whether events A and B are independent or not.

Correct Answer - Not independent `P(A)=3/8and P(B)=1/2` `P(A)P(B) =3/8xx1/2=3/16` `P(Annb)=2/8=1/4neP(A)P(B)` Hence, A and B aer not independent.

Events `Aa n dC` are independent. If the probabilities relating `A ,B ,a n dC` are `P(A)=1//5, P(B)=1//6; P(AnnC)=1//20 ; P(BuuC)=3//8.` Then events `

Correct Answer - A `P(AnnC)=P(A)P(C)` `or1/20=1/5P(C)` `orP(C)=1/4` Now, `P(BuuC)=1/6+1/4-P(BnnC)` `P(BnnC)=5/12-3/8=1/24P(BnnC)` Therefore, B and C aer independent.

Let A & B be two events. Suppose `P(A) = 0.4` , `P(B) = p` and `P(AuuB)=0.7` The value of `p` for which `A` and `B` are independent is

Correct Answer - C `P(AuuB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A)xxP(B)` `implies0.7=0.4+p-0.4p` `therefore0.6p=0.3orp=1/2`

An event `X` can take place in conjuction with any one of the mutually exclusive and exhaustive events `A ,Ba n dC` . If `A ,B ,C` are equiprobable an

Correct Answer - A `P(A) =P(B)=P(C)and P(A)+P(B)+P(C) =1` `thereforeP(A)=P(B)=P(C)=1/3.` Also, `P(X)=5/12,P(X//A)=3/8,P(X//B)=1/4` We have, `P(X)=P(A)P(X//A)+P(B)P(X//B)+P(C) P(X//C)` `therefore5/12=1/3{(3)/(8)+(1)/(4)+P(X//C)}` `impliesP(X//C)=5/8`

Let S and T are two events difined on a sample space with probabilities `P(S)=0.5,P(T)=069,P(S//T)=0.5` Events S and T are

Correct Answer - B `P(S//T)=(P(SnnT))/(P(T))` `or 0.5=(P(SnnT))/(0.69)` ` or 0.5=(P(SnnT))/(0.69)` `or P(SnnT)=0.5xx0.69=P(S)P(T)` Therefore, S and T are independent. `thereforeP(Aand T)=P(S)P(T)` ` =0.69xx0.5=0.345` `P(SorT)=P(S)+P(T) -P(SnnT)` `=0.5+0.69-0.345 =08450`

Suppose A and B are two events with `P(A) = 0.5 and `P(AuuB)=0.8LetP(B)=p` if A and B are mutually exclusive and P(B)=q if A and B are independent eve

Correct Answer - 2 When A and B are mutually exclusive, `P(AnnB)=0` `thereforeP(AuuB)=P(A)+P(B)" "(1)` `implies 0.8 =0.5+5` `or p=0.3" "(2)` `P(AuuB)=P(A)+P(B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AuuB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B)` `or 0.8=0.5+q-(0.5)q` `or 0.3=q//2` `or q//p=2`
