Conditional Probability Questions

1) A card is drawn from a deck. Find the conditional probability that it is a queen
given that a face card is drawn?
2) What is the probability that the card draw from a deck of 52 cards is an ace
given that the card is red?
3) Two cards are drawn one by one from a pack of cards. Find the probability of
getting first card an ace and second a red coloured one (before drawing
second card first card is not placed again in the pack?
4) A die is rolled. Find the conditional probability that it shows a three if it is
known that an odd number has shown?
5) If two events A and B are independent and P(A) = 2/3 and P(B) = 3/5 then find
P(A∪B)?
6) A bag contains 20 balls numbered from 1 to 20. A ball is drawn at random and
then another ball is drawn without replacement. Find the probability that both
the balls are even numbered?
7) Sapan took part in two games. The probability of her passing both games is
0.4 The probability of her passing the first game is 0.6. What is the probability
of her passing the second game given that she has passed the first game?
8) In a group of 100 sports car buyers, 40 bought alarm systems, 30 purchased
bucket seats, and 20 purchased an alarm system and bucket seats. If a car
buyer chosen at random bought an alarm system, what is the probability they
also bought bucket seats?
9) Susan took two tests. The probability of her passing both tests is 0.6. The
probability of her passing the first test is 0.8. What is the probability of her
passing the second test given that she has passed the first test?
10)A bag contains red and blue marbles. Two marbles are drawn without
replacement. The probability of selecting a red marble and then a blue marble
is 0.28. The probability of selecting a red marble on the first draw is 0.5. What
is the probability of selecting a blue marble on the second draw, given that the
first marble drawn was red?
 11)There are 2 red shirts, 4 blue shirts, and 9 white shirts in a basket. Two shirts
are randomly selected. Find the probability that the second shirt is red given
that the first shirt is blue. (Assume that the first chip is not replaced?
12)The table below shows the occurrence of diabetes in 100 people. Let D and N
be the events where a randomly selected person "has diabetes" and "not
overweight". Then find P (D | N).

Diabetes (D) No Diabetes (D')

Not overweight (N) 5 45

Overweight (N') 17 33

13)The probability that it will be sunny on Friday is 4/5. The probability that an ice
cream shop will sell ice creams on a sunny Friday is 2/3 and the probability
that the ice cream shop sells ice creams on a non-sunny Friday is 1/3. Then
find the probability that it will be sunny and the ice cream shop sells the ice
creams on Friday?
14)If a fair die is rolled twice, observe the numbers that face up. Find the
conditional probability that the sum of the numbers is 7, given that the first
number is 2?
15)A man is known to speak the truth 3 out of 4 times. He throws a die and
reports that it is a six. Find the probability that it is actually a six?
