In tossing of a coin (m + n)(m > n) times, the probability of coming consecutive heads at least m times is

• $\frac{\mathrm{n} + 2}{2^{\mathrm{m} + 1}}$

• $\frac{\mathrm{m} - \mathrm{n}}{2^{\mathrm{m} + \mathrm{n}}}$

• $\frac{\mathrm{m} + \mathrm{n}}{2^{\mathrm{m} + \mathrm{n}}}$

• $\frac{\mathrm{mn}}{2^{\mathrm{m} + \mathrm{n}}}$

Two dice are thrown together. Then the probability that the sum of numbers appearing on them is a prime number, is

• $\frac{5}{12}$

• $\frac{7}{18}$

• $\frac{13}{36}$

• $\frac{11}{36}$

If the events A and B are independent, if P(A') = $\frac{2}{3}$ and P(B') = $\frac{2}{7}$, then $\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}\right)$ is equal to

• $\frac{4}{21}$

• $\frac{5}{21}$

• $\frac{1}{21}$

• $\frac{3}{21}$

A man takes a step forward probability 0.4 and one step backward with probability 0.6, then the probability that at the end of eleven steps he is one step away from the starting point, is

• ${}^{11}\mathrm{C}_5 \times {\left(0.12\right)}^5$

• ${}^{11}\mathrm{C}_5 \times {\left(0.48\right)}^5$

• ${}^{11}\mathrm{C}_6 \times {\left(0.72\right)}^6$

A box has 100 pens of which 10 are defective. The probability that out of a sample of 5 pens drawn one by one with replacement and atmost one is defective, is
