1 Answer

Answer :

Number of ways in which three cards can be drawn from a pack of 52 cards n(S) = 52C3. Let A : Event of drawing all the three cards as black Then, n(A) = 26C3                (∵There are 26 black cards)∴ P(A) = \(rac{n(A)}{n(S)}\) = \(rac{^{26}C_3}{^{52}C_3}\) = \(rac{26 imes25 imes24}{52 imes51 imes50}\) = \(rac{2}{17}.\)

Last Answer : (c) \(rac{1}{10}\)Let S be the sample space.Then n(S) = Number of triangles formed by selecting any three vertices of 6 vertices of a regular hexagon= 6C3 = \(rac{6 imes5 imes4}{3 imes2}\) = 20.Let A : Event that the ... Required probability = \(rac{n(A)}{n(S)}\) = \(rac{2}{20}\) = \(rac{1}{10}\).

A die is rolled three times. The probability of getting a larger number than the previous number each time is: -Maths 9th

Description : A die is rolled three times. The probability of getting a larger number than the previous number each time is: -Maths 9th

Last Answer : (b) \(rac{5}{24}\)Total number of ways three die can be rolled = 6 6 6 = 216 A larger number than the previous number can be got in the three throws as (1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 4), (1, 2, 5) ( ... , 5, 6). ∴ Total number of favourable cases = 20∴ Required probability =\(rac{20}{216}\) = \(rac{5}{24}\).

If the three independent events E1, E2 and E3, the probability that only E1 occurs is α, E2 occurs -Maths 9th

Description : If the three independent events E1, E2 and E3, the probability that only E1 occurs is α, E2 occurs -Maths 9th

Last Answer : (c) 6Let \(x\), y, z be the probabilities of happening of events E1, E2 and E3 respectively. Then, \(\alpha\) = P (occurrence of E1 only) = x (1 - y) (1 - z) \(\beta\) = P (occurrence of E2 only) = (1 - \(x\)) y (1 - ... (x\) = 6z (From (i) and (ii))⇒ \(rac{x}{z}\) = 6 ⇒ \(rac{P(E_1)}{P(E_3)}\) = 6.

There are three cards in a box. Both sides of one card are black, both sides of one card are red, and the third card has one black side and one red side. We pick a card at random and observe only one side. What is the probability that the opposite side is the same colour as the one side we observed? (A) 3/4 (B) 2/3 (C) 1/2 (D) 1/3
