(i) P(A), (ii) P(B) , (iii) P(A

5. Of 120 students,60 are studying French,50 are studying Arabic ,and 20 are studying
both If a student is chosen at random, find the probability that the student:
a) Is studying French or Arabic
b) Is studying neither French nor Arabic
c) Is studying exact one subject
d) Is studying at most one subject

6. Three horses A, B and C are in a race, “A” is twice as likely to win as “B” and
“B” is twice as likely to win as “C”. What are their respective probabilities of
winning .i.e. P(A) ,P(B) and P(C)? What is the probability that B or C wins .i.e.
P(B C )?

7. A class contains 10 men and 20 women of which half the men and half the women
brown eyes find the probability “p” that a person chosen at random is a man or has
brown eyes
