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 probability of getting even number exactly once is `1//6` b. `1//9` c. `5//36` d. `7//128`
A. `1//6`
B. `1//9
C. `5//36`
D. `7//128`

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)`

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,...

A die is thrown 7 times. What is the chance that an odd number turns up (i) exactly 4 times (ii) at least 4 times

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`

A die is thrown 4 times. Find the probability of getting at most two 6.

Correct Answer - `0.984` Given that p =1/6,q=5/6. Therefore required probability is `P(0)+P(1)+P(2)=""^(4)C_(0)((5)/(6))^(4)+""^(4)C_(1)((5)/(6))1/6+""^(4)C_(2)((5)/(6))^(2)((1)/(6))^(2)` `=425/432=0.984`
