Question Detail
Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability of getting two numbers whose product is even ?
- 3/4
- 1/4
- 7/4
- 1/2
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Total number of cases = 6*6 = 36
Favourable cases = [(1,2),(1,4),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,2),(3,4),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,2),(5,4),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)] = 27
So Probability = 27/36 = 3/4
1. Three unbiased coins are tossed, what is the probability of getting at least 2 tails ?
- 1/3
- 1/6
- 1/2
- 1/8
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Total cases are = 2*2*2 = 8, which are as follows
[TTT, HHH, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT]
Favoured cases are = [TTH, THT, HTT, TTT] = 4
So required probability = 4/8 = 1/2
2. A box contains 20 electric bulbs, out of which 4 are defective. Two bulbs are chosen at random from this box. The probability that at least one of these is defective is
- \begin{aligned} \frac{7}{19} \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} \frac{6}{19} \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{19} \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} \frac{4}{19} \end{aligned}
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Please remember that Maximum portability is 1.
So we can get total probability of non defective bulbs and subtract it form 1 to get total probability of defective bulbs.
So here we go,
Total cases of non defective bulbs
\begin{aligned}
^{16}C_2 = \frac{16*15}{2*1} = 120 \\
\text{total cases = } \\
^{20}C_2 = \frac{20*19}{2*1} = 190 \\
\text{probability = } \frac{120}{190} = \frac{12}{19} \\
\text{P of at least one defective = } 1- \frac{12}{19} \\
=\frac{7}{19}
\end{aligned}
3. In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither blue nor green?
- 2/3
- 8/21
- 3/7
- 9/22
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21
Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither blue nor green =e vent that the ball drawn is red.
Therefore, n(E) = 8.
P(E) = 8/21.
4. What is the probability of getting a sum 9 from two throws of dice.
- 1/3
- 1/9
- 1/12
- 2/9
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Total number of cases = 6*6 = 36
Favoured cases = [(3,6), (4,5), (6,3), (5,4)] = 4
So probability = 4/36 = 1/9
5. A box contains 5 green, 4 yellow and 3 white balls. Three balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that they are not of same colour.
- 52/55
- 3/55
- 41/44
- 3/44
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
\text{Total cases =} ^{12}C_3 \\
= \frac{12*11*10}{3*2*1} = 220 \\
\text{Total cases of drawing same colour =} \\
^{5}C_3 + ^{4}C_3 + ^{3}C_3 \\
\frac{5*4}{2*1} + 4 + 1 = 15 \\
\text{Probability of same colur =} = \frac{15}{220}\\
= \frac{3}{44} \\
\text{Probability of not same colur =} \\
1-\frac{3}{44}\\ = \frac{41}{44}
\end{aligned}
