Question 9:If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 1 4 , P (B) = 1 2 and P(A B) = 1 8 , find P (not A and not B).
Question 10:Events A and B are such that P (A) = 1 2 , P(B) = 7 12 and P(not A or not B) = 1 4 . State whether A and B are independent ?
Question 11:Given two independent events A and B such that P(A) = 0.3, P(B) = 0.6. Find (i) P(A and B) (ii) P(A and not B) (iii) P(A or B) (iv) P(neither A nor B)
Question 12:A die is tossed thrice. Find the probability of getting an odd number at least once.
Question 13:Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing 10 black and 8 red balls. Find the probability that (i) both balls are red. (ii) first ball is black and second is red. (iii) one of them is black and other is red.
Question 14: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, find the probability that (i) the problem is solved (ii) exactly one of them solves the problem.
Question 15:One card is drawn at random from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. In which of the following cases are the events E and F independent ? (i) E : ‘the card drawn is a spade’ F : ‘the card drawn is an ace’ (ii) E : ‘the card drawn is black’ F : ‘the card drawn is a king’ (iii) E : ‘the card drawn is a king or queen’ F : ‘the card drawn is a queen or jack’.
