?Exercise 13.2?
1. If P(A) 3/5 = and P (B) 1/5 = , find P (A ∩ B) if A and B are independent events.
?♂️solution: Correct option is A)
It is given that P(A )= 3/5 and P(B) = 1/5
A and B are independent events. Therefore,
P(A∩B) = P(A)⋅P(B) = 3/5x1/5 = 3/25 = 0.12
100P(A∩B)=12
2. Two cards are drawn at random and without replacement from a pack of 52
playing cards. Find the probability that both the cards are black.
3. A box of oranges is inspected by examining three randomly selected oranges
drawn without replacement. If all the three oranges are good, the box is approved
for sale, otherwise, it is rejected. Find the probability that a box containing 15
oranges out of which 12 are good and 3 are bad ones will be approved for sale.
4. A fair coin and an unbiased die are tossed. Let A be the event ‘head appears on
the coin’ and B be the event ‘3 on the die’. Check whether A and B are
independent events or not.
5. A die marked 1, 2, 3 in red and 4, 5, 6 in green is tossed. Let A be the event,
‘the number is even,’ and B be the event, ‘the number is red’. Are A and B
independent?
6. Let E and F be events with P(E) 3/5 = , P(F) 3/10 = and P (E ∩ F) = 1/5 . Are E and F independent?
7. Given that the events A and B are such that P(A) = 1/2 , P(A ∪ B) = 3/5 and P(B) = p. Find p if they are (i) mutually exclusive (ii) independent.
8. Let A and B be independent events with P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.4. Find
(i) P(A ∩ B) (ii) P(A ∪ B)
(iii) P (A|B) (iv) P (B|A)
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).
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 ?
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)
12. A die is tossed thrice. Find the probability of getting an odd number at least once
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.
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.
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’.
16. In a hostel, 60% of the students read Hindi newspaper, 40% read English
newspaper and 20% read both Hindi and English newspapers. A student is
selected at random.
(a) Find the probability that she reads neither Hindi nor English newspapers.
(b) If she reads Hindi newspaper, find the probability that she reads English
newspaper.
(c) If she reads English newspaper, find the probability that she reads Hindi
newspaper.

18. Two events A and B will be independent, if
(A) A and B are mutually exclusive
