Let A1, A2, and A3 be the events that the cars are rented from the agencies X, Y, and Z respectively.
Let G be the event of getting a car in good condition.
We have to find
(i) the total probability of event G that is, P(G)

(ii) find the conditional probability A3 given G that is, P(A3 /G)
We have P(A1) = 0.50,P(G/A1) = 0.90
P(A2) = 0.30, P(G/A2) = 0.70
P(A3) = 0.20, P(G/A3) =0.60.
(i) Since A1,A2, and A3 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events and G is an event in S,then the total probability of event G is P(G).
P(G) = P(A1)P(G/A1) + P(A2)P(G/A2) + P(A3)P(G/A3)
P(G) = (0.50)(0.90) + (0.30)(0.70) + (0.20)(0.60)

\(P(A_1)={3\over9},P(B/ A_3)=0.4\)
P(A3/B) \(={P(A_3)P(B/A_3)\over P(A_1)P(B\ A_1)+P(A_2)P(B/A_2)+P(A_3)P(B/ A_3)}\)
P(A3/B) \(={({3\over9})(0.4)\over ({4\over9})(0.3)+({2\over9})(0.5)+({3\over 9})(0.4)}\)
\(={12\over 34}={6\over 17}\)

\(=P(A \cup B) \)
\(=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) \)
\(=0.18+0.36-0.2=0.64\)

\(=P(A \cap \bar{B})+P(\bar{A} \cap B) \)
\(=P(A)-P(A \cap B)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) \)
\(=0.48-0.20+0.36-0.20 \)
\(=0.44\)

Let A1 be the event that the items are produced by Machine-I, A2 be the event that items are produced by Machine-II. Let B be the event of drawing a defective item. Now we are asked to find the conditional probability P (A2/B). Since A1, A2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events, by Bayes’ theorem,

P(A2/B) \(={P(A_2)P(B/A_2)\over P(A_1)P(B\ A_1)+P(A_2)P(B/A_2)}\)
We have, P(A1) = 0.40,P(B/A1) = 0.04
P(A2) = 0.60,P(B/A2) = 0.05
P(A2/B) \(={P(A_2)P(B/A_2)\over P(A_1)P(B\ A_1)+P(A_2)P(B/A_2)}\)
P(A2/B) \(={(0.60)(0.05)\over(0.40)(0.04)+(0.60)(00.05)}={15\over23}\)

Given that P(Ai) = 0.4, i = 1, 2, 3, 4
P(Bi) = 0.6, i =1, 2, 3, 4
(i) Probability of car crossing the first crossroad without stopping,

P(B1A2A3A4 \(\cup \) A1B2A3A4 \(\cup \) A1A2B3A4 \(\cup \) A2A3A3B4)
= P(B1A2A3A4)+P(A1B2A3A4)+P(A1A2B3A4)+P(A1A2A3B4)

Let H1, H2, H3 and H4 be the events of hitting the plane by the anti-aircraft gun in the first second, third and fourth shot respectively.
Let H be the event that anti-aircraft gun hits the plane. Therefore \(\bar{H}\) is the event that the plane is not shot down. Given that
P(H1) = 0.2 ⇒ P(\({ \bar { H } }_{ 1 }\)) = 1 - P(H1) = 0.8
P(H2) = 0.4 ⇒ P(\({ \bar { H } }_{ }\)) = 1-P(H2) = 0.6
P(H3) = 0.2 ⇒ P(\({ \bar { H } }_{ 3 }\)) = 1-P(H3) = 0.8
P(H4) = 0.1 ⇒ P(\({ \bar { H } }_{ 4 }\)) = 1-P(H4) = 0.9
The probability that the gun hits the plane is
P(H) = 1 - P\((\bar { H } )\) = 1 - \((\overline { { H }_{ 1 }\cup { H }_{ 2 }\cup { H }_{ 3 }\cup { H }_{ 4 } } )\)
= 1 - P\(\left( { \bar { H } }_{ 1 }\cap { \bar { H } }_{ 2 }{ \bar { H } }_{ 3 }\cap { \bar { H } }_{ 4 } \right) \)

\(P(H)=P\left(H / A_1\right) \cdot P\left(A_1\right)+P\left(H / A_2\right) \cdot P\left(A_2\right)\)
\(=0.6 \times 0.4+0.4 \times 0.3=0.4(0.6+0.3)\)

Let A be the event that a student chosen randomly studies in class XII and B be the event that the randomly chosen student is a girl.
\(\therefore\) We have to find P(A/B)
Clearly, n(A\(\cap \)B) = 10% of 430 = 430\(\times\) \(\frac { 10 }{ 100 } =43\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad P(A\cap B)=\frac { 43 }{ 1000 } \) [ n(S) = 1000]
and n(B) = 430
\(\Rightarrow\)\(P(B)=\frac { 430 }{ 1000 } \)
\(\therefore P(A/B)=\frac { P(A\cap B) }{ P(B) } =\frac { \frac { 43 }{ 1000 } }{ \frac { 430 }{ 1000 } } =\frac { 43 }{ 1000 } \times \frac { 1000 }{ 430 } \)

Given that P(I) = 0.12, P(C) = 0.25, and \(P(I \cap C)\) = 0.07
(i) P( at least one of the two jobs) \(=P(I \text { or } C)=P(I \cup C)\)
\(=P(I)+P(C)-P(I \cap C) \)
\(=0.12+0.25-0.07=0.30\)
(ii) P(only one of the two jobs) = P [only I or only C]
=\(P\left( I\cap \overline { C } \right) +P\left( \overline { I } \cup C \right) \)
\(=\{0.12-0.07\}+\{0.25-0.07\}\)
\(=0.23 \)

Let A be the event of getting 3 red balls, and B be the evenl of getting onered and 2 black balls, then
\((i) P(A)=\frac{7 C_3}{11 C_3}=\frac{7 \times 6 \times 5}{11 \times 10 \times 9}=\frac{7}{33} \)
\((ii) P(B)=\frac{7 C_1 \times 4 C_2}{11 C_3}=\frac{7 \times \frac{A^2 \times \not p}{1 \times \not 2}}{\frac{11 \times 10^5 \times \phi^2}{1 \times 2 \times} \times \not p}=\frac{14}{55}\)

(i) Let A be the event ofgetting one mango and one apple, Then
\(P(A)=\frac{5 C_1 \times 4 C_1}{9 C_2}=\frac{5}{9}\)
| M | A | T |
| 5 | 4 | 9 |
(ii) Let B and C be the events of getting both are mango and both are an apple respectively then
\(P(\text { Bor } C) =P(B)+P(C) \)
\(=\frac{5 C_2}{9 C_2}+\frac{4 C_2}{9 C_2}=\frac{5 \times 4}{9 \times 8}+\frac{4 \times 3}{9 \times 8} \)
\(=\frac{8}{18}=\frac{4}{9}\)
20.
\(P(A)>0 ; P(B)>0 ;P(C)<0\)
\(\therefore\) The assignment of probability are not permissible.

Notice that three coins are tossed simultaneously = one coin is tossed three times.
The sample space S = { H,T } \(\times\) {H,T} \(\times\) {H,T}
S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}, n(S) = 8
Let A be the event of getting exactly one head, B be the event of getting atleast one head and C be the event of getting at most one head
A = {HTT, THT, TTH}; n(A) = 3
B = {HTT, THT, TTH, HHT, HTH, THH, HHH} n(B) = 7
C = {TTT, HTT, THT, TTH}; n(C) = 4
Therefore the required probabilities are
i) P(A) = \(\frac { n(A) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 3 }{ 8 } \)
ii) P(B) = \(\frac { n(B) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 7 }{ 8 } \)
iii)P(C) \(=\frac{n(C)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}\)
22.
Given P(A) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \), P(B) = \(\frac { 7 }{ 12 } \) and P(\(\bar { A } \cup \bar { B } \)) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \).
Now, \(P(\bar { A } \cup \bar { B } )=P(\overline { A\cap B } )=1-P(A\cap B)\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ 4 } =1-P(A\cap B)\quad \Rightarrow P(A\cap B)=1-\frac { 1 }{ 4 } =\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \)
Now P(A) \(\times\) P(B) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \frac { 7 }{ 12 } =\frac { 7 }{ 24 } \)
\(\therefore P(A\cap B)\neq P(A)\times P(B)\)
Thus, A and B are not independent.
23.
Let m be the event the selected student passes in mathematics and E be the event that the selected student passes in English.
\(\therefore P(M)=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \) and P(M\(\cap \)E)=\(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \)
\(\therefore P(E/M)=\frac { P(M\cap E) }{ P(M) } =\frac { \frac { 1 }{ 3 } }{ \frac { 2 }{ 3 } } =\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 3 }{ 2 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
24.
Given \(P(\bar { A } )=0.6\)
\(\Rightarrow P(A)=1-P(\bar { A } )=1-0.6=0.4\)
P(B) = 0.7 and P(B/A) = 0.4
We know that P(B/A) = \(\frac { P(A\cap B) }{ P(A) } \)
\(\Rightarrow 0.4=\frac { P(A\cap B) }{ 0.4 } \)
\(\Rightarrow P(A\cap B)=0.16\)
Now, P(A/B) = \(\frac { P(A\cap B) }{ P(B) } =\frac { 0.16 }{ 0.7 } =0.2286\)
Also, P(A\(\cup \) B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\(\\ \cap \)B)
= 0.4 + 0.7 - 0.16 = 1.1 - 0.16 = 0.94
25.
26.
P\((A\cup B)\) = P(A) + P(B) - P(\(A\cap B\))
P\((A\cup B)\) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B) (since A and B are independent)
That is, 0.9 = 0.4 + P(B) − (0.4) P(B)
0.9 − 0.4 = (1− 0.4) P(B)
Therefore, P(B) = \(\frac{5}{6}\).
