Q8 A fair coin and an unbiased die are tossed. Let A be the event, “Head appears on the
coin’ and B be the event, “ 3 comes on the die”. Find whether A and B are independent
events or not. [2023]

Q9 There are two coins. One of them is a biased coin such that P (head) : P (tail) is 1: 3 and
the other coin is a fair coin. A coin is selected at random and tossed once. If the coin

Q12. According to recent research, air turbulence has increased in various regions around the world due to climate
change. Turbulence makes flights bumpy and often delays the flights. [2024]
Assume that, an airplane observes severe turbulence, moderate turbulence or light turbulence with equal
probabilities. Further, the chance of an airplane reaching late to the destination are 55%, 37% and 17% due to
severe, moderate and light turbulence respectively.
On the basis of above information, answer the following questions.
(i) Find the probability that an airplane reached its destination late.
(ii) If the airplane reached its destination late, find the probability that it was due to moderate turbulence.
Q13. Airplanes are by far the safest mode of transportation when the number of transported passengers are
measured against personal injuries and fatality totals. [2024]
 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 travellers survive.
Let E 1 be the event that there is a plane crash and E 2 be the event that there is no crash.
Let A be the event that passengers survive after the journey.
On the basis of above information, answer the following questions.
(i) Find the probability that the airplane will not crash.
(ii) Find P(A | E1 ) + P(A | E 2 ) .
(iii) Find P(A) .
OR
(iii) Find P(E 2 | A) .
Q14. Self-study helps students to build confidence in learning. It boosts the self-esteem of the learners. Recent
surveys suggested that close to 50% learners were self-taught using internet resources and up-skilled
themselves.
A student may spend 1 hour to 6 hours in a day in up-skilling self. The probability distribution of the number of
hours spent by a student is given below.
kx 2 , for x = 1, 2,3

P(X = x) = 2kx, for x = 4,5, 6
0, otherwise
