\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
2.
\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
3.
\(\frac { 1 }{ 52 } \)
4.
\(\frac { 37 }{ 60 } \)
5.
\(\frac { 47 }{ 10829 } \)
6.
Let S be the sample space associated with the given random experiment. Then, n(S)=36
Let E be the event of getting the sum 5. Then,
E={(1,4), (4,1),(2,3),(3,2)}
\(\Rightarrow n(E)=4\)
\(\therefore p(E)=\frac { n(E) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 4 }{ 36 } =\frac { 1 }{ 9 } \Rightarrow P(\overline { E) } =1-\frac { 1 }{ 9 } =\frac { 8 }{ 9 } \)
Hence, odds in favour of getting the sum 5 \(= \frac { p\left( E \right) }{ P\overline { \left( E \right) } } \)
Ans. 1:8
7.
\(\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \)
8.
\(\frac { 1 }{ 54 } \)
9.
\(\frac { 12 }{ 13 } \)
10.
\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
11.
Let E1, E2, E3 and E4 be the events that the competitors A, B, C and D respectively win the competition.
Then, P(E1)=\(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \);P(E2)=\(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \);P(E3)=\(\frac { 1 }{ 5 } \) and P(E4)=\(\frac { 1 }{ 6 } \)
Now, required probability
=P(E1\(\cup \)E2\(\cup \)E3\(\cup \)E4) = P(E1) + P(E2) + P(E3) + P(E4)
Ans. \(\frac { 114 }{ 120 } \)
12.
\(\frac { 7 }{ 9 } \)
13.
\(Let \ P(E)=\frac { 5 }{ 14 } .Then\ P(\overline { E } )=1-P(E)=1-\frac { 5 }{ 14 } =\frac { 9 }{ 14 } \)
Odds against the occurrence of event \(E=\frac { P(\overline { E } ) }{ P(E) } \)
Ans. \(\frac { 9 }{ 5 } \)
14.
Let A be the event that the family owns a colour television set and B be the event that the family owns a black and white television.Then, we have P(A) = 0.87, P(B) = 0.36, P(A\(\cap \)B) = 0.30
Ans. 0.93
