A and B throw a pair of dice alternately. A wins the game if he gets a total of 7 and B wins the game if he gets a total of 10. If A starts the game, then find the probability that B wins.
Probability of solving specific problem independently by A and B are 1/2 and 1/3 respectively. If both try to solve the problem, independently, then find the probability that (i) the problem is solved (ii) exactly one of them solves the problem
A problem in mathematics is given to 4 students A, B, C, D. Their chances of solving the problem, respectively, are 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 and 2/3. What is the probability that (i) the problem will be solved ? (ii) at most one of them solve the problem ?
Assume that each born child is equally likely to be a boy or a girl. If a family has two children, what is the conditional probability that both are girls ? Given that : (i) the youngest is a girl. (ii) atleast one is a girl.
A speaks truth in 60% of the cases, while B in 90% of cases. In what percent of cases are they likely to contradict each other in stating the same fact ? In the cases of contradiction do you think, the statement of B will carry more weight as he speaks truth in more number of cases than A ?
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.
