MEDIUM
The probability that atleast one of the events A and B occur is 0.6. If A and B occur simultaneously with probability 0.2, then P(A¯)+P(B¯) is
HARD
Let A and B be two events such that PAB=16, PAB=14, and PA=14, where A¯ stands for complement of event A. Then events A and B are
EASY
It is given that the events A and B are such that PA=14, PAB=12 and PBA=23. Then PB is
MEDIUM
A six faced die is so biased that it is thrice likely to show an even number than an odd number, when thrown. If the die is thrown twice, the probability that sum of the numbers on the die is even, is
HARD
Let two fair six-faced dice A and B be thrown simultaneously. If E1 is the event that die A shows up four, E2 is the event that die B shows up two and E3 is the event that the sum of numbers on both dice is odd, then which of the following statements is not true?
HARD
Four dice are thrown simultaneously and the numbers shown on these dice are recorded in 2×2 matrices. The probability that such formed matrices have all different entries and are non-singular, is:
HARD
A bag contains 6 red balls and 10 green balls. 3 balls are drawn from it one by one randomly without replacement. If the 3rd drawn ball is red, then the probability that the first two drawn balls are green is

MEDIUM

Six persons A, B, C, X, Y & Z go for an interview. What is the probability of selection of A and Y in the interview?

MEDIUM
A and B try to hit a target. The probability that A hits the target is 710 and the probability that B hits the target is 410. If these two events are independent, the probability that B hits the target, given that the target is hit, is
EASY
If A and B are any two events such that PA+PB-PA and B=PA, then
MEDIUM

When a certain biased die is rolled, a particular face occurs with probability 16-x and its opposite face occurs with probability 16+x. All other faces occur with probability 16.

Note that opposite faces sum to 7 in any die. If 0<x<16, and the probability of obtaining total sum =7, when such a die is rolled twice, is 1396, then the value of x is

EASY
It is given that events A and B are such that P(A)=14,P(AB)=12 and P(BA)=23, then P(B) is equal to
MEDIUM
A fair die is tossed until six is obtained on it. Let X be the number of required tosses, then the conditional probability P(X5X>2) is :
MEDIUM
A signal which can be green or red with probability 4 5 and 1 5 respectively, is received by station A and then transmitted to station B . The probability of each station receiving the signal correctly is 3 4 . If the signal received at station B is green, then the probability that the original signal is green, is
EASY
