1)  

If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.95, P(B) = 0.55 and P(A∩B) = 0.25, then P(A∪B) = _______





Answer: 3


SOLUTION 1 :

 Let A be the event of getting an award for the design of car and B be the event of getting an awa

PA) = 0.95

P(B) = 0.55

P(A∩B) = 0.25

P(AB)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 0.95 + 0.55 - 0.25

= 0.95 + 0.3 

= 1.25



2)  

There are 3 defective items in a sample of 11 items. One item is drawn at random. The probability that it is a non-defective item is _______





Answer: 3


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

n(S) = 11

Number of non-defective item = 11 - 3

n(A) = 8.

P(A) = n(A)n(S) = 811 = 811

Ans = 811 .



3)  

If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.65, P(B) = 0.65 and P(A∩B) = 0.35, then P(A∪B) = _______





Answer: 3


SOLUTION 1 :

 Let A be the event of getting an award for the design of car and B be the event of getting an awa

PA) = 0.65

P(B) = 0.65

P(A∩B) = 0.35

P(AB)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 0.65 + 0.65 - 0.35

= 0.65 + 0.3 

= 0.95



4)  

There are 6 defective items in a sample of 17 items. One item is drawn at random. The probability that it is a non-defective item is _______





Answer: 1


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

n(S) = 17

Number of non-defective item = 17 - 6

n(A) = 11.

P(A) = n(A)n(S) = 1117 = 1117

Ans = 1117 .



5)  

If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.75, P(B) = 0.55 and P(A∩B) = 0.35, then P(A∪B) = _______





Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

 Let A be the event of getting an award for the design of car and B be the event of getting an awa

PA) = 0.75

P(B) = 0.55

P(A∩B) = 0.35

P(AB)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 0.75 + 0.55 - 0.35

= 0.75 + 0.2 

= 0.95



6)  

There are 4 defective items in a sample of 17 items. One item is drawn at random. The probability that it is a non-defective item is _______





Answer: 3


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

n(S) = 17

Number of non-defective item = 17 - 4

n(A) = 13.

P(A) = n(A)n(S) = 1 317 = 1 317

Ans = 1 317 .



7)  

If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.85, P(B) = 0.55 and P(A∩B) = 0.15, then P(A∪B) = _______





Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

 Let A be the event of getting an award for the design of car and B be the event of getting an awa

PA) = 0.85

P(B) = 0.55

P(A∩B) = 0.15

P(AB)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 0.85 + 0.55 - 0.15

= 0.85 + 0.4 

= 1.25



8)  

There are 9 defective items in a sample of 13 items. One item is drawn at random. The probability that it is a non-defective item is _______





Answer: 3


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

n(S) = 13

Number of non-defective item = 13 - 9

n(A) = 4.

P(A) = n(A)n(S) = 413 = 413

Ans = 413 .



9)  

If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.55, P(B) = 0.85 and P(A∩B) = 0.35, then P(A∪B) = _______





Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

 Let A be the event of getting an award for the design of car and B be the event of getting an awa

PA) = 0.55

P(B) = 0.85

P(A∩B) = 0.35

P(AB)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 0.55 + 0.85 - 0.35

= 0.55 + 0.5 

= 1.05



10)  

There are 5 defective items in a sample of 15 items. One item is drawn at random. The probability that it is a non-defective item is _______





Answer: 3


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

n(S) = 15

Number of non-defective item = 15 - 5

n(A) = 10.

P(A) = n(A)n(S) = 1015 = 23

Ans = 23 .
