    Probability and Statistics

    Test Set 2
    1. If 6 balls are placed at random into 6 cells, find the probability that exactly one
    cell remains empty.
    2. Let event E be independent of events F, F G and F G . Show that E is
    independent of G.
    3. A pair of dice is rolled until a sum of 7 or an even number appears. Find the
    probability that a 7 appears first.
    4. In a certain colony, 65% of the families own a car, 35% own a computer and 25%
    own both a car and a computer. If a family is randomly chosen, what is the
    probability that this family owns a car or a computer but not both?
    5. A survey of people in given region showed that 25% drank regularly. The
    probability of death due to liver disease, given that a person drank regularly, was 6
    times the probability of death due to liver disease, given that a person did not
    drank regularly. If the probability of death due to liver disease in the region is
    0.005, what is the probability of death due to liver disease given that a person
    drank regularly?
    6. Show that if P(A | B) = 1, then P(BC | AC ) = 1.
    7. If P(Ac) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3 and P(ABc) = 0.3, find P(B / ABc).
    8. In a ternary communication channel, let Ti denote the event "Digit i is transmitted"
    and let Ri denote the event "Digit i is received" for i = 1, 2, 3. Assume that a 3 is
    transmitted three times more frequently than a 1, and a 2 is transmitted twice as
    often as 1. (i) If a one has been received, what is the probability that a 1 was sent?
    (ii) Find the probability of a transmission error. (iii) Find the probability that digit
    i is received for i = 1, 2, 3.
    9. In any given year a male automobile policyholder will make a claim with
    probability pm and a female automobile policyholder will make a claim with
    probability pf, where pm pf. The fraction of policyholders that are male is ,
    0 < < 1. A policyholder is randomly chosen and Ai denotes the probability that
    this policyholder will make a claim in the year i, i = 1, 2,. Find P(A1) and
    P(A2|A1) and show that P(A2|A1) > P(A1).

    (iii) P(A) = 0.2, P(A B) = 0.9, A and B are disjoint, P(B) = 0.6.
    (iv) none of these.
    11. Four players A, B, C and D are distributed thirteen cards each at random from a
    complete deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that player C has all four
    Jacks?

    12. Each coefficient in the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 is determined by throwing an


    ordinary die. Find the probability that the equation will have real roots.
    13. An Integrated M.Sc. student has to take 5 courses a semester for 10 semesters. In
    each course he/she has a probability 0.5 of getting an Ex grade. Assuming the
    grades to be independent in each course, what is the probability that he/she will
    have all Ex grades in at least one semester.
    14. If P(A) > 0, show that P(A B | A) P(A B | A B).

    15. Let S = {1, 2, , n} and suppose that A and B are, independently, equally likely
    to be any of the 2n subsets (including) the null set and S itself) of S. Let X denote
    the number of elements of B. Find P(X = i), P(A B | X = i), P(A B) and
    n

    16. A question paper consists of eight True-False and two multiple choice (A, B, C,
    D) questions. Each question carries one mark for the correct answer and zero for
    wrong answer. Assume that an unprepared student answers all questions
    independently with guess. What is the probability that he/she will score at least 9
    marks?
    17. Four tennis players A, B, C, D have the probabilities of winning a tournament as
    P(A) = 0.35, P(B) = 0.15, P(C) = 0.3, P(D) = 0.2. Before the tournament, the

    tournament for A, C and D.
