1.Five cards are drawn successively with replacement from a well – shuffled deck of 52 cards.

What is
the probability that only 3 cards are spades?
2.If P (A)=0.8, P (B)=0.5 and P(B/A) =0.4, find (i) P(A∩B) (ii) P(A/B) (iii)P(A∪B)
3.There are three coins. One is a two headed coin (having head on both faces), another is a biased coin
that comes up heads 75% of the time and third is an unbiased coin. One of the three coins is chosen at
random and tossed, it shows heads, what is the probability that it was the two headed coin?
4.A pot has 2 white, 6 black, 4 grey and 8 green balls. If one ball is picked randomly from the pot, the

5.If A and B’ are independent events then P (A’ ∪ B) = 1 – ________.


probability of it being black or green is ______.

6.A die, whose faces are marked 1, 2, 3 in red and 4, 5, 6 in green, is tossed. Let A be the event “number
obtained is even” and B be the event “number obtained is red”. Find if A and B are independent events.
7.There are two bags, one of which contains 3 black and 4 white balls while the other contains 4 black
and 3 white balls. A die is thrown. If it shows up 1 or 3, a ball is taken from the 1st bag; but it shows up
any other number, a ball is chosen from the second bag. Find the probability of choosing a black ball.
8.A black and a red die are rolled.
(i) Find the conditional probability of obtaining a sum greater than 9, given that the black die resulted in a
5.
(ii)Find the conditional probability of obtaining the sum 8, given that the red die resulted in a number less
than 4.
9.An insurance company insured 2000 scooter drivers, 4000 car drivers and 6000 truck drivers. The
probability of accidents is 0.01, 0.03 and 0.15 respectively. One of the insured persons meet with an
accident what is the probability that he is scooter driver.
10.Prove that if E and F are independent events, then the events E and F’ are also independent.
