A Isurace ompay isured 000 scooter drivers, 4000 car drivers ad 6000 truck drivers. The probability of a accidet ivolvig a scooter, a car ad a truck is 0.0, 0.03 ad 0. respectively. If a driver meets a accidet, what is the chace that the perso is a scooter driver? What is importace of isurace i everybody s life. Q.. A card from a pack of cards is lost. From the remaiig cards of the pack, two cards are draw ad are foud to be both diamods. Fid the probability of the lost card beig a diamod. Does it better ot to tell ay perso regardig loss of the card while playig? Q.3 A ma is kow to speak truth 3 out of 4 times. He throws a die ad reports that it is a six. Fid the probability that it is actually a six. Write at least oe drawback of tellig lie. Q.4 A factory has two machies A ad B. Past record shows that machie A produced 60% of the items of output ad machie B produced 40% of the items. Further, % of the items produced by machie A ad % produced by machie B were defective. All the items are put ito oe stockpile ad the oe item is chose at radom from this ad is foud to be defective. What is the probability that it was produced by machie B? Q.4. A ur cotais red ad black balls. A ball is draw at radom, its colour is oted ad is retured to the ur. Moreover, additioal balls of the colour draw are put i the ur ad the a ball is draw at radom. What is the probability that the secod ball is red? Q.. A laboratory blood test is 99% effective i detectig a certai disease whe it is i fact, preset. However, the test also yields a false positive result for 0.% of the healthy perso tested (that is, if a healthy perso is tested, the, with probability 0.00, the test will imply he has the disease). If 0. percet of the populatio actually has the disease, what is the probability that a perso has the disease give that his test result is positive? Q.6 O a multiple choice examiatio with three possible aswers (out of which oly oe is correct) for each of the five questios, What is the probability that a cadidate would get four of or more correct aswers just by guessig? (009) Q.7. Fid the probability of throwig at most sixes i 6 throws of a sigle throw a die. Q.8 A experimet succeeds thrice as ofte as it fails. Fid the probability that the ext five trails, there will be at least 3 successes. (04)

4 Q.9 How may times must a fair coi be tossed so that the probability of gettig atleast oe head is more tha 80%? (0) 0. A radom variable has followig probability distributio: X P(X) 0 k k k 3k k k 7k + k Determie: (i) k (ii) P(X < 3) (iii) P(X > 6) (iv) P(0 < X < 3) Q.. Two cards are draw simultaeously (without replacemet) from a well- shuffled pack of cards. Fid the mea ad variace of the umber of red cards. (0) Q..Two umbers are selected at radom without replacemet from first 6 positive itegers,let X deote the largest of the two umbers obtaied. Fid the probability distributio of X also fid the expectatio of X. ANSWERS Q.. Let A be the evet that the isured perso meets with a accidet ad E, E ad E3 are the evets that the perso is a scooter, car ad truck driver respectively. The we have to fid P(E/A). Total umber of isured persos P (E) 000/000 /6; P (E) 4000/000 /3; P (E3) 6000/000 ½ Also P (A/E) 0.0; P (A/E) 0.03 ad P (A/E3) 0. 3marks Hece by Bye s theorem we have P E / A P A / E P E P A / E P E P A / E P E P A / E P E / / / 3 0. / /.

P (drawig a black ball i the first attempt) If two black balls are added to the ur, the the ur cotais red ad 7 black balls. P (drawig a red ball) Therefore, probability of drawig secod ball as red is Q. Let E ad E be the respective evets that a perso has a disease ad a perso has o disease. Sice E ad E are evets complimetary to each other, P (E) + P (E) P (E) P (E) Let A be the evet that the blood test result is positive.
