STD 12 - 13. probability questions

For a biased die, the probabilities for different faces to turn up are

$Face :$ $1$ $2$ $3$ $4$ $5$ $6$
$P(F)$ $0.2$ $0.22$ $0.11$ $0.25$ $0.05$ $0.17$

The die is tossed and you are told that either face $4$ or face $5$ has turned up. The probability that it is face $4$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • $\frac{5}{6}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer: C.

If $A$ and $B$ are two independent events such that $P\,(A) = \frac{1}{2},\,\,P(B) = \frac{1}{5},$ then
  • A
    $P\,\left( {\frac{A}{B}} \right) = \frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $P\,\left( {\frac{A}{{A \cup B}}} \right) = \frac{5}{6}$
  • C
    $P\,\left( {\frac{{A \cap B}}{{A' \cup B'}}} \right) = 0$
  • All of the above

Answer: D.

For two events $A$ and $B$, if $P(A) = P\left( {\frac{A}{B}} \right) = \frac{1}{4}$ and $P\,\left( {\frac{B}{A}} \right) = \frac{1}{2},$ then
  • A
    $A$ and $B$ are independent
  • B
    $P\,\left( {\frac{{A'}}{B}} \right) = \frac{3}{4}$
  • C
    $P\,\left( {\frac{{B'}}{{A'}}} \right) = \frac{1}{2}$
  • All of the above

Answer: D.

There are $3$ bags which are known to contain $2$ white and $3$ black balls; $4$ white and $1$ black balls and $3$ white and $7$ black balls respectively. A ball is drawn at random from one of the bags and found to be a black ball. Then the probability that it was drawn from the bag containing the most black balls is
  • $\frac{7}{{15}}$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{{19}}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer: A.

In an entrance test there are multiple choice questions. There are four possible answers to each question of which one is correct. The probability that a student knows the answer to a question is $90\%$. If he gets the correct answer to a question, then the probability that he was guessing, is
  • A
    $\frac{{37}}{{40}}$
  • $\frac{1}{{37}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{36}}{{37}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{9}$

Answer: B.
