Chapter 13 Probability
Solution
1. a.
Explanation: If P(A) = , P(B) = and P(A B) =
2. d. 0.12
Explanation: Let A and B be independent events with P (A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.4
3. c. 1.5
Explanation: Let X is the random variable of “number of heads “ X = 0, 1, 2, 3.
P(X =0)= P( )=
P(X = 1)= P( or or )=
P(X = 2)= P( or or )= P(X = 3)
=P(HHH) =
Therefore, the probability distribution is:
X 0 1 2 3
P(X)
Therefore, Mean of Heads is :
4. b. X = 6, 4, 2, 0
Explanation: Let X represent the difference between the number of heads and
the number of tails obtained when a coin is tossed 6 times. When a coin is
tossed 6 times , we have 64 outcomes which consists of : (i) 6 heads and 0 tails
(ii) 5 heads and 1 tail (iii) 4 heads and 2 tails (iv) 3 heads and 3 tails (v) 2 heads
3/8
and 4 tails (vi) 1 head and 5 tails (vii) 0 head and 6 tails . Let X represents the
difference between the number of heads and tails.
1. X=6–0=6
2. X=5–1=4
3. X=4–2=2
4. X=3–3=0
5. X=4–2=2
6. X=5–1=4
7. X=6–0=6.
Therefore , X = 6 , 4 , 2, 0 .
5. d.
Explanation: Since A and B are independent events, not A and not B are also
independent events.
6. most likely
7.
8.
9. Given, P (E) = and P (F) =
Now P (E). P (F) =

P (E).P (F)
Therefore, E and F are not independent events.
10. Since, X = 0, 1, 2 and P(X) at X = 0 and 1 is p, let at X = 2, P(X) is x.

p+p+x=1
x = 1 - 2p
We get, the following distribution.
X 0 1 2
P(X) p p 1 - 2p
4/8
= p + 2 - 4p = 2 - 3p
And
= p + 4 - 8p = 4 - 7p
Also, given that E(X2) = E[X]

4 - 7p = 2 - 3p
11. S = (10 black balls, 8 red balls) n(S) = 18

Let drawing of a red ball be a success.
A = {8 red balls} n(A) = 8
P (A) =
And
i. P (both are red ball) = P (A). P (B) =
ii. P (first is black ball and second is red) = . P (A) =
iii. P (one of them is black and other is red) = . P (A) + P (A) =
12. Let x is the random variable for the prize.
X 0 500 2000 3000
P(X)
Since,
13. S = =6
The number is even = A = {2, 4, 6} =3
P (A) =
5/8
The number is red = B = =3
P (B) =
= {2} =1
P(A B)=
Now P (A). P (B) =
Therefore, P (A). P (B), i.e., A and B are not independent.
14. Since a dice has six faces. Therefore

E = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) x (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) x (4)
F = (6) x (5) x (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
=1x1x6=6
P (F) =
= (6, 5, 4)
=1
And
15. let E be the event that the doctor visits the patient late and let T1, T2, T3, T4, be the
event that the doctor comes by train, bus, scooter and other means of Transport
respectively.
16. For first die, and
and
6/8
For second die, and
Let X = Number of one’s seen
For X = 0, P(X = 0) =
Hence, the required probability distribution is as below.
X 0 1 2
P(X) 0.54 0.42 0.04
17. Let the first observation be from the black die and second from the red die.
When two dice (one black die and another red) are rolled,the sample space S has 6×6
=36 number of elements.
Let A : obtaining a sum greater than 9 ={4,6),(5,5),(5,6),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}
and B: black die resulted in a 5 ={(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6)}
={(5,5),(5,6)}
The conditional probability of obtaining a sum greater than 9,given that the black die
resulted in a 5,is given by P(A/B)
18. It is given that out of 15 bulbs, 5 are defective.

Number of non-defective bulbs
=15-5=10
4 bulbs are drawn from a lot with replacement.
Let p = P ( drawn defective bulb)
and q = P ( drawn non-defective bulb)
Let X be the random variable which denotes the defective bulbs. So, X may take
values 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Using binomial distribution, we have
7/8
Therefore,
and
Therefore, the required probability distribution is as follows
X P(X) X P(X)
0 0
8/8
