P speaks truth in 70% of the cases and Q in 80% of the cases. In what percent of cases are they likely to agree in stating the same fact ?
A speaks truth in 75% of the cases, while B in 90% of the cases. In what percent of cases are they likely to contradict each other in stating the same fact ? Do you think that statement of B is always true ?
In a school, there are 1,000 students, out of which 380 are girls. Out of 380 girls, 10% of the girls scored highest in GS. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly scored highest in GS given that the chosen student is a girl ?
A bag contains (2n + 1) coins. It is known that (n – 1) of these coins have a head on both sides, whereas the rest of the coins are fair. A coin is picked up at random from the bag and is tossed. If the probability that the toss results in a head is 31/42, determine the value of n.
A and B throw a pair of dice alternatively, till one of them gets a total of 10 and wins the game. Find their respective probabilities of winning, if A starts first.
If A and B are two independent events such that P(A' ∩ B)= 2/15 and P(A ∩ B')= 1/6, then find P(A) and P(B).
Consider the experiment of tossing a coin. If the coin shows head, toss is done again, but if it shows tail, then throw a die. Find the conditional probability of the events that ‘the die shows a number greater than 4’, given that ‘there is atleast one tail’.
In a hockey match, both teams A and B scored same number of goals up to the end of the game, so to decide the winner, the referee asked both the captains to throw a die alternately and decided that the team, whose captain gets a six first, will be declared the winner. If the captain of team A was asked to start, find their respective probabilities of winning the match and state whether the decision of the referee was fair or not.
