A committee of 3 persons is to be selected from amongst 4 men and 2 women. Find the probability, that the committee consists of:
(a) all 3 men (b) 2 men and 1 woman (c) 1 man and 2 women.
An urn contains 6 red, 4 blue and 5 black balls. 3 balls are drawn at random from the urn. Find the probability that:
(i) they are all of different colours (ii) they are not all of different colours.
Solution not provided.
Ans. (i) (ii)
Check whether the following probabilities P(A) and P(B) are consistently defined :
(i) P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.7, P(A ∩ B) = 0.6
(ii) P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.4, P(A ∪ B) = 0.8
Events E and F are such that P(not E or not F) = 0.25. State whether E and F are mutually exclusive.
A and B are events such that P(A) = 0.42, P(B) = 0.48 and P(A and B) = 0.16. Determine:
(i) P(not A), (ii) P(not B) (iii) P(Aor B) (iv) P (not A and not B) (v) P(not A or not B)
A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.54, P(B) = 0.69 and P(A ∩ B) = 0.35. Find: (i) P(A ∪ B) (ii) P(A' ∩ B') (iii) P(A ∩ B') (iv) P(B ∩ A')
