Probability
1. A black and a red die are rolled together. Find the conditional probability of obtaining the sum 8,
given that the red die resulted in a number less than 4.
2. Prove that if E and F are independent events, then the events E and 𝐅′ are also independent.
3. A die, whose faces are marked 1,2,3 in red and 4,5,6 in green, is tossed. Let A be the event
“number obtained is even” and B be the event “number obtained is red”. Find if A and B are
independent events.
4. How many times must a man toss a fair coin, so that the probability of having at least one head is
more than 80%?
5. Of the students in a school. It is known that 30% have 100% attendance and 70% students are
irregular. Previous year results report that 70% of all students attain A grade in their annual
examination. At the end of the year, one student is chosen at random from the school and he was
found to have an A grade. What is the probability that the student has 100% attendance? Is
regularity required only in school? Justify your answer.
6. An experiment succeeds thrice as often as it fails. Find the probability that in the next five trails,
there will be at least 3 successes.
7. Often it is taken that a truthful person commands, more respect in the society. A man is known to
speak the truth 4 out of 5 times. He throws a die and reports that it is a six. Find the probability
that it is actually a six. Do you also agree that the value of truthfulness leads to more respect in the
society?
8. A die thrown again and again until three sixes are obtained. Find the probability of obtaining the
third six in the sixth throw of the die.
