Answer: 4

SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

n(S) = 14

Number of non-defective item = 14 - 7

n(A) = 7.

P(A) = $\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$ = $\frac{7}{14}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

Ans = $\frac{1}{2}$ .

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

1) 1.25
2) 0.75
3) 2.25
4) 1.75

Answer: 1

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) = 0.15

P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 0.55 + 0.85 - 0.15

= 0.55 + 0.7

= 1.25

There are 6 defective items in a sample of 16 items. One item is drawn at random. The probability that it is a non-defective item is _______

\frac{5}{16}

Answer: 3

SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

n(S) = 16

Number of non-defective item = 16 - 6

n(A) = 10.

P(A) = $\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$ = $\frac{10}{16}$ = $\frac{5}{8}$

Ans = $\frac{5}{8}$ .

If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.65, P(B) = 0.75 and P(A∩B) = 0.35, then P(A∪B) = _______

1) 2.05
2) 0.55
3) 1.05
4) 1.55

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) = 0.75

P(A∩B) = 0.35

P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 0.65 + 0.75 - 0.35

= 0.65 + 0.4

= 1.05

\frac{2}{17}

Answer: 3

SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

n(S) = 17

Number of non-defective item = 17 - 3

n(A) = 14.

P(A) = $\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$ = $\frac{14}{17}$ = $\frac{14}{17}$

Ans = $\frac{14}{17}$ .

If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.75, P(B) = 0.95 and P(A∩B) = 0.25, then P(A∪B) = _______

1) 2.45
2) 0.95
3) 1.95
4) 1.45

Answer: 4

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) = 0.95

P(A∩B) = 0.25

P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 0.75 + 0.95 - 0.25

= 0.75 + 0.7

= 1.45

\frac{2}{9}

Answer: 1

SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

n(S) = 18

Number of non-defective item = 18 - 5

n(A) = 13.

P(A) = $\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$ = $\frac{13}{18}$ = $\frac{13}{18}$

Ans = $\frac{13}{18}$ .

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) = _______

1) 2.25
2) 1.25
3) 0.75
4) 1.75

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(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 0.85 + 0.55 - 0.15

= 0.85 + 0.4

= 1.25

Answer: 2

SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

n(S) = 17

Number of non-defective item = 17 - 7

n(A) = 10.

P(A) = $\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$ = $\frac{10}{17}$ = $\frac{10}{17}$

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) = _______

1) 2.25
2) 0.75
3) 1.75
4) 1.25

Answer: 4

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(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 0.95 + 0.55 - 0.25

= 0.95 + 0.3

= 1.25
