We are given two urns as
follows:
(12)
Um A contains 5 red marbles and
3 white marbles.
Um B contains 1 red marble and
2 white marbles.
A fair die is tossed; if a 3 or 6
appears, a marble is drawn from
B and put into A and then
a marble is drawn from A;
otherwise, a marble is drawn
from A and put into B and then a
marble is drawn from B.
(i) What is the probability that
both marbles are red?
(ii) What is the probability that
both marbles are white?
(13) Box A contains nine cards
numbered 1 through 9, and box B
contains five cards numbered
1 through 5. A box is chosen at
random and a card drawn; if the
card shows an even
number, another card is drawn
from the same box; if the card
shows an odd number, a
card is drawn from the other box.
(i) What is the probability that
both cards show even number?
(ii) If both cards show even
numbers, what is the probability
that they come from box
A?
(iii) What is the probability that
both cards show odd numbers?
(14) A box contains three coins,
two of them fair and one two-
headed. A coin is selected at
random and tossed. If heads
appears the coin is tossed again;
if tails appears, « then
another coin is selected from the
two remaining coins and tossed.
(i) Find the probability that
heads appears twice.
(ii) If the same coin is tossed
twice, find the probability that it
is the two-headed
coin.
(di) Find the probability that
tails appears twice.
(15) The probability that a man
will live to more years is 1 /4,
and the probability that his wife
will
live 10 more years is 1/3. Find
the probability that (i) both will
be alive in 10 years, (ii) at
least one will be alive in 10
years, (iii) neither will be alive in
10 years, (iv) only the wife
will be alive in 10 years.
(16) A point is selected at
random inside an equilateral
triangle whose side length is 3.
Find the
probability that its distance to
any corner is greater than 1.
(17) A coin of diameter 1/2 is
tossed randomly onto the
Cartesian plane R2. Find the
probability
that the coin does not intersect
any line who se equation is of the
form
(a) x = k , (b) x + y = k, (c)
x == k or y = k. ( Here k is an
integer.)
(18) Two cards are selected at
random from 10 cards numbered
1 to 10. Find the probability
p that the sum is odd if(i) the two
cards are drawn together, (ii) the
two cards are drawn
one after the other without
replacement, (iii) the two cards
are drawn one after the other
with replacement.
(19) Two squares are chosen at
random on a chessboard. What is
the probability that they have.
exactly one comer in common?
