1. (a) Use the axioms of probability to prove:

i) P(A') =
1 - P(A)
ii) P(A n B') =
P(A) - P(A n B). (3+3.5)

(b) If A, B, Care mutually independent events, prove that A and BU Care independent.

(c) In a lock producing factory, there are 3 machines/, II, Ill which respectively produce 500, 300,
and 200 locks daily. Of their product, 1 %, 2% and 5% respectively are defective. A lock was picked.
at random and found to be defective. What is the probability that it was produced by machine /// ?

approximate probability that the mean tip percentage fora random sample of 40 bills is between
16% and 19%. (6.6)

may be regarded as unbiased. ·. (6) .

(c) A theory predicts that the proportion of beans in 4 groups A,B,C,D is 1~: 4: 3: 2:. In an
experiment, it was observed that the numbers were 1070, 430,330,170 respectively. Does the
experiment support the theory. (Given x (0.05) for 3df is 7.815)
