Group B: 20 Sums (5 Marks Each)


1. Probability Theory: A bag contains 4 red balls, 5 blue balls, and 6 green balls. Two
balls are drawn at random without replacement. What is the probability that both are
red?
2. Conditional Probability: A box contains 10 good and 2 defective bulbs. Two bulbs
are chosen at random. If the first one is good, what is the probability that the second
one is defective?
3. Bayes' Theorem: A company manufactures items in two plants, A and B. Plant A
produces 70% of the total output, and plant B produces 30%. 5% of the items
produced by plant A are defective, and 2% from plant B are defective. If an item is
found defective, what is the probability that it came from plant A?
4. Theorem of Total Probability: A factory has three machines, M1, M2, and M3,
which produce 30%, 50%, and 20% of the total output, respectively. The probability
that a product is defective is 2% for M1, 3% for M2, and 5% for M3. Find the
probability that a randomly chosen product is defective.
5. Binomial Distribution: A fair coin is tossed 4 times. Find the probability of getting
exactly 3 heads.
6. Probability of Independent Events: A die is rolled twice. Find the probability that
the sum of the numbers rolled is 7.
7. Total Probability: An insurance company classifies its customers into three
categories: 50% low-risk, 30% medium-risk, and 20% high-risk. The probabilities
that a claim is filed in a year are 1% for low-risk, 5% for medium-risk, and 10% for
high-risk customers. Find the overall probability that a customer files a claim.
8. Bayes' Theorem (Disease Testing): In a certain population, 0.1% of people have a
particular disease. A test for the disease has a 99% sensitivity (probability of detecting
the disease if the person has it) and a 95% specificity (probability of correctly
identifying a non-diseased person). What is the probability that a person who tests
positive actually has the disease?
9. Joint Probability: Two cards are drawn successively without replacement from a
standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that both cards are aces?
10. Poisson Distribution: The number of accidents occurring at a traffic intersection
follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 3 accidents per week. What is the
probability of observing exactly 2 accidents in a week?
11. Bayes' Theorem (Medical Diagnosis): A laboratory conducts a test to detect a rare
genetic disorder. 1 in 1000 people have the disorder. The test correctly identifies 99%
of those with the disorder and 98% of those without it. If a person tests positive, what
is the probability that they actually have the disorder?
12. Probability of Successive Events: A jar contains 6 white marbles and 4 black
marbles. Two marbles are drawn one after the other without replacement. What is the
probability that both are black?
13. Theorem of Total Probability (Dice Problem): Two dice are rolled. What is the
probability of getting a sum greater than or equal to 10?
14. Bayes' Theorem (Marketing Problem): A company is trying to predict whether a
customer will respond to an advertisement. From past experience, they know that 80%
of people respond positively to targeted ads and 20% respond positively to random
ads. If 30% of their advertisements are targeted, and a customer responds positively,
what is the probability that the ad was targeted?
15. Conditional Probability (Deck of Cards): Two cards are drawn at random from a
deck of 52 cards without replacement. Find the probability that the second card is a
king, given that the first card was an ace.
16. Total Probability (Machine Problem): A factory has two machines producing
widgets. Machine A produces 60% of the widgets, and Machine B produces 40%. The
defective rate for Machine A is 3%, and for Machine B, it's 5%. If a widget is chosen
at random and found to be defective, what is the probability that it was produced by
Machine A?
17. Binomial Theorem (Dice Rolls): A die is rolled 6 times. Find the probability of
getting exactly 4 sixes.
18. Probability of Combined Events: Three coins are tossed. What is the probability
that at least one head appears?
19. Bayes’ Theorem (Drug Testing Problem): In a drug test, 1% of the population uses
a certain drug. The test is 98% accurate for drug users and 97% accurate for non-
users. If a randomly selected individual tests positive, what is the probability that they
are a drug user?
20. Joint Probability (Dice Rolls): Two dice are rolled. What is the probability that the
sum of the numbers rolled is either 8 or 10?
