Question 512 Marks
Fatima and John appear in an interview for two vacancies for the same post. The probability of Fatima's selection is $\frac{1}{7}$ and that of John's selection is $\frac{1}{5}$. What is the probability that,
None of them will be selected?
Answer
Given,
Probability of Fatima's (F) selection $=\frac{1}{7}$
$\text{P(F)}=\frac{1}{7}\Rightarrow\ \text{P}(\overline{\text{F}})=\frac{6}{7}$
Probability of John's (J) selection $=\frac{1}{5}$
$\text{P(F)}=\frac{1}{5}\Rightarrow\ \text{P}(\overline{\text{F}})=\frac{4}{5}$
P(None of them selected)
$=\text{P}(\overline{\text{F}}\cap\overline{\text{J}})$
$=\text{P}(\overline{\text{F}})+\text{P}(\overline{\text{J}})$
$=\frac{6}{7}\times\frac{4}{5}$
$=\frac{24}{35}$
Required probabilty $=\frac{24}{35}$

Question 522 Marks
X is taking up subjects - Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in the examination. His probabilities of getting grade A in these subjects are 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 respectively. Find the probability that he gets,
Grade A in all subjects
Answer
Given,
Probability of getting A grade in mathematics (m) = 0.2
⇒ P(m) = 0.2
Probability of getting A grade in physics (p) = 0.3
⇒ P(p) = 0.3
Probability of getting A grade in chemistry (P) = 0.5
⇒ P(C) = 0.5
P(Getting A grade in all subjects)
$=\text{P}(\text{m}\cap\text{P}\cap\text{C})$
= P(m) + P(p) + P(c)
= 0.2 × 0.3 × 0.5
= 0.3
Required probability = 0.03

Question 542 Marks
If A and B are independent events, then write expression for P(exactly one of A, B occurs).
Answer
As, A and B are independent events.
So, $\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\text{P(A)}\times\text{P(B)}\ .....\text{(i)}$
P(exactly one of A, B occurs) = P(only A) + P(only B)
$=\big[\text{P(A)}-\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})\big]+\big[\text{P(B)}-\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})\big]$
$=\big[\text{P(A)}-\text{P}(\text{A})\times\text{P}(\text{B})\big]+\big[\text{P(B)}-\text{P}(\text{A})\times\text{P}(\text{B})\big]$ [Using (i)]
$=\text{P(A)}\times\big[1-\text{P(B)}\big]+\text{P(B)}\times\big[1-\text{P(A)}\big]$
$=\text{P(A)}\times\text{P}(\overline{\text{B}})+\text{P(B)}\times\text{P}(\overline{\text{A}})$

Question 552 Marks
Kamal and Monica appeared for an interview for two vacancies. The probability of Kamal's selection is $\frac{1}{3}$ and that of Monika's selection is $\frac{1}{5}$. Find the probability that.
At least one of them will be selected.
Answer
P (Kamal gets selected) $=\text{P(A)}=\frac{1}{3}$
P (Monica gets selected) $=\text{P(B)}=\frac{1}{5}$
P (At least one of them gets selected) $=\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})$

$=\text{P(A)}+\text{P(B)}-\text{P(A)}\times\text{P(B)}$
$=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{5}$
$=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{15}$
$=\frac{7}{15}$

Answer
We know that, there are 4 king and 4 ace in a pack of 52 cards.
Two cards are drawn without replacment
A = First catd is king
B = Second card an ace
P (The first card is a king second is an ace)
$=\text{P(A) }\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)$

Question 582 Marks
If $\text{P(A)}=\frac{6}{11},\text{P(B)}=\frac{5}{11}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\frac{7}{11},$ find
$\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})$
Answer
Given,
$\text{P(A)}=\frac{6}{11},\text{P(B)}=\frac{5}{11},\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{7}{11}$
Since, $\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\text{P(A)}+\text{P(B)}-\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})$
$=\frac{6}{11}+\frac{5}{11}-\frac{7}{11}$
$\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\frac{4}{11}$
