A parents has two children. If one of them is boy, then the probability that other is, also a boy, is
1/2
1/4
1/3
None of these
A random variable X has the probability distribution
x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
P(x) | 0.15 | 0.23 | 0.12 | .010 | 0.20 | 0.08 | 0.07 | 0.05 |
For the events E = {x is prime number} and F = {x < 4} the probability of P(E ∪ F) is
0.50
0.77
0.35
0.87
From a group of 8 boys and 3 girls, a commitee of 5 members to be formed. Find the probability that 2 particular girls are included in the committe is
A four digit number is to be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3 4, 5 6, 7 (no digit is being repeated in any number). Then, the probability that it is > 4000, is
3/2
1/2
4/7
3/7
If x follows the Binomial distribution with parameters n = 6 and p and 9P(X = 4) = P(X = 2), then p is
1/4
1/3
1/2
2/3
One card is drawn at random from a pack of playing cards the probability that it is an ace or black king or the queen of the heart will be
The odds against solving a problem by A and B are 3 : 2 and 2 : 1 respectively, then the probability that the problem will be solved, is
If random variable waiting time in minutes for bus and probability density function of x is given by
then probability of waiting time not more than 4 minutes is equal to
0.3
0.8
0.2
0.5
If the probability density function of a random variable X is given as
xi | - 2 | - 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
P(X = xi) | 0.2 | 0.3 | 0.15 | 0.25 | 0.1 |
then F(0) is equal to
P(X < 0)
P(X > 0)
1 - P(X > 0)
1 - P(X < 0)
C.
1 - P(X > 0)
We know that, cumulative distribution function F(x) = P (X x)
= P(X = 0) + P(X = - 1) + P(X = - 2)
= 0.15 + 0.3 + 0.2 = 0.65
(a) P(X < 0) = P(X = - 1) + (X = - 2)
= 0.3 + 0.2 = 0.5
(b) P(X > 0) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)
= 0.25 + 0.1 = 0.35
(c) 1 - P(X > 0) = 1 - 0.35 = 065
1 - P(X > 0) = F(0)
Hence, option (c) is correct.
