Correct Answer - C
`(c )` `E : B_(1)B_(2)B_(3)xxxxxx`, where `xx` means `B` or `G`
`:.P(E)=(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)=(1)/(8)=(8)/(64)`

Let A,B, C be three mutually independent events. Consider the two statements `S_(1)and S_(2).` `{:(S_(1):A and B nnC "are independent.",),(S_(2):A and

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)`

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`

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`
