If A and B are two independent events, prove that A’ and B are also independent.
One bag contains 3 red and 5 black balls. Another bag contains 6 red and 4 black balls. A ball is transferred from first bag to the second bag and then a ball is drawn from the second bag. Find the probability that the ball drawn is red.
If P(A) = 0.6, P(B) = 0.5 and P(A|B) = 0.3, then find P(A ∪ B).
A couple has 2 children. Find the probability that both are boys, if it is known that (i) one of them is a boy (ii) the older child is a boy.
If P(A) = 2/5, P(B) = 1/3, P(A ∩ B) = 1/5, then find P(A' / B') .
If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.8 and P(B/A) = 0.6, then find P(A/B).
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.
Prove that if E and F are independent events, then the events E and F' are also independent.
If A and B are two independent events, then prove that the probability of occurrence of at least one of A and B is given by 1 – P(A’) · P(B’)
If P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = p, P(A U B) = 0.6 and A and B are given to the independent events, find the value of ‘p’.
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 ?
