away from it. The probability of hitting the plane in the first, second, third and 5 K3
fourth shot are respectively Find the probability that the gun
hits the plane.

14. A main road in a city has 4 crossroads with traffic lights. Each traffic light opens or
closes the traffic with the probability of respectievely. Determine the
probability of (i) a car crossing the first crossroad without stopping, (ii) a car 5 K3

crossroads stopping at third cross, (iv) a car crossing all the crossroads stopping
at exactly one cross.

box at random. Find the probability that among the balls drawn there is at least 5 K2
one ball of each colour.
16. If is exponentially distributed, prove that the probability that exceeds its
expected value is less than 0.5. 5 K3
