A problem in Mathematics is given to three students whose chances of solving  \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } ,\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \) and \(\frac { 1 }{ 5 } \) (i) What is the probability that the problem is solved? (ii) What is the probability that exactly one of them will solve it?

One bag contains 5 white and 3 black balls. Another bag contains 4 white and 6 black balls. If one ball is drawn from each bag, find the probability that (i) both are white (ii) both are black (iii) one white and one black.

A year is selected at random. What is the probability that
(i) it contains 53 Sundays (ii) it is a leap year which contains 53 Sundays.

A coin is tossed twice. Events E and F are defined as follows E= Head on first toss, F = Head on second toss. Find.
(i) \(P(E \cup F)\)
(ii) \(P(E / F)\)

(iv) Are the events E and F independent

A factory has two Machines-I and II. Machine-I produces 60% of items and Machine-II produces 40% of the items of the total output. Further 2% of the items produced by Machine-I are defective whereas 4% produced by Machine-II are defective. If an item is drawn at random what is the probability that it is defective?

There are two identical urns containing respectively 6 black and 4 red balls, 2 black and 2 red balls. An urn is chosen at random and a ball is drawn from it.
(i) find the probability that the ball is black
(ii) if the ball is black, what is the probability that it is from the first urn?

A firm manufactures PVC pipes in three plants viz, X, Y, and Z. The daily production volumes from the three firms X, Y and Z are respectively 2000 units, 3000 units, and 5000 units. It is known from the past experience that 3% of the output from plant X, 4% from plant Y and 2% from plant Z are defective. A pipe is selected at random from a day’s total production,
(i) find the probability that the selected pipe is a defective one.
(ii) if the selected pipe is a defective, then what is the probability that it was produced by plant Y?

The chances of A, B, and C becoming manager of a certain company are 5 : 3: 2. The probabilities that the office canteen will be improved if A, B, and C become managers are 0.4, 0.5 and 0.3 respectively. If the office canteen has been improved, what is the probability that B was appointed as the manager?

Urn-I contains 8 red and 4 blue balls and urn-II contains 5 red and 10 blue balls. One urn is chosen at random and two balls are drawn from it. Find the probability that both balls are red.

An anti-aircraft gun can take a maximum of four shots at an enemy plane moving away from it. The probability of hitting the plane in the first, second, third, and fourth shot are respectively 0.2, 0.4, 0.2 and 0.1. Find the probability that the gun hits the plane.
