atleast one head comes up is

4. For two events A and B, if P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.8 and P(B|A) = 0.6, then P(A∪B) is
A) 0.24 B) 0.3 C) 0.48 D) 0.96

7. ASSERTION: Two coins are tossed simultaneously. The probability of getting

two heads, if it is known that atleast one head comes up, is .

Reason: Let E and F be two events with a random experiment, then P(F|E) =
P ( E ∩ F)
.

8. From a lot of 30 bulbs which include 6 defective bulbs, a sample of 2 bulbs is
drawn at random one by one with replacement. Find the probability distribution
of the number of defective bulbs and hence find the mean number of defective
bulbs.
9. A box contains 10 tickets, 2 of which carry a prize of Rs. 8 each, 5 of which carry a
prize of Rs. 4 each, and remaining 3 carry a prize of Rs. 2 each. If one ticket is
drawn at random, find the mean value of the prize.
10.A pair of dice is thrown simultaneously, if X denotes the absolute difference of
the numbers appearing on the top of the dice, then find the probability
distribution of X.
11.Airplanes are by far the safest mode of transportation when the number of
transported passengers are measured against personal injuries and fatality
totals.
Previous records state that the probability of an airplane crash is 0. 00001%.
Further there are 95% chances that there will be survivors after a plane crash.
Assume that in case of no crash, all travelers survive.
Let E1 be the event that there is a plane crash and E2 be the event that there is no
crash. Let A be the event that passengers survive after the journey.
On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions :
i) Find the probability that the airplane will not crash.
ii) Find P(A|E1) + P(A|E2).
iii) Find P(A)
OR
Find P(E2|A).
12. A building contractor undertakes a job to construct 4 flats on a plot along with
parking area. due to strike the probability of many construction workers not
being present for the job is 0.65. the probability that many are not present and
still the work gets completed on time is 0.35. the probability that work will be
completed on time when all workers are present is 0.80.
Let E1: represent the event when many workers were not present for the job;
E2: represent the event when all workers were present and
E3 : represent completing the work on time.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
i) What is the probability that all workers are present for the job?
ii) What is the probability that the construction work will be completed on
time?
iii) A) what is the probability that many workers are not present given that
the construction work is completed on time? OR
B) What is the probability that many workers were present given that the
construction work is completed on time?
13. Two fair dice are thrown simultaneously. If X denotes the number of sixes, find
the mean of x.
14. A pair of dice is thrown simultaneously. If X denoted the absolute difference of
numbers obtained on the pair of dice, then find the probability distribution of X.
15. There are two coins. One of them is biased coin such that P(Head) : P(Tail) = 1 : 3
and the other coin is a fair coin. A coin is selected at random and tossed once. If
the coin showed head, then find the probability that it is a biased coin.
16. An octagonal prism is a three dimensional polyhedron bounded by two octagonal
bases and eight rectangular side faces. It has 24 edges and 16 vertices. The prism
is rolled along the rectangular faces and number on the bottom face is noted. Let
X denote the number obtained on the bottom face and the following table give
the probability distribution of X.

X: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
P(X): p 2p 2p p 2p p
2
2 p2 2
7 p +p
Based on the above information answer the following questions:
i) Find the value of p.
ii) Find P(X > 6).
iii) A) Find P(X= 3m), where m is a natural number. OR
B) Find the mean E(X)
