Tickets for movies in a particular theatre have numbers from 1 to 100 printed on them with each ticket having a unique number. The tickets are sold in a random order. Three people go to the theatre and buy tickets, when all the tickets are available. What is the probability that exactly one person's seat is in the range of 6 to 50?

A bag I contains 5 red balls and 3 green balls, bag II contains 8 red balls and 4 green balls and bag III contains 5 red balls and 5 green balls. A ball is picked randomly from a bag and it is found to red. Find the probability that the ball is drawn from bag I ?

what should be the sample space in question 45?
aniket prajapati 15/10/2018 10:59 pm
45th
total 4 digit no. formed =4!
it will be divisible by 4 only when the last two digits will be 28,24,48,32,84
total no. formed when it ends with 28=2*1*1*1=2
similarly every case will have 2 nos.
total 5*2=10
probability=10/4!=5/12

for first cube: 5 black (B1) faces and 1 white (W1)
probability of getting black on top= P (B1)=5/6
probability getting white on top= P(W1)=1/6
For second face let number of black faces be x, hence number of white faces will be 6-x as cube as 6 faces.
Probability of getting black on top= P(B2)=x/6
Probability of getting white on top=P(w2)=6-x/6
same color will be obtained if both faces are black or both faces are white
probability of getting same color=1/2
P(B1) * P(B2)+P(W1)* P(W2)=1/2
(5/6)*(x/6) +(1/6){(6-x)/6}=1/2
x=3
hence answer is 3

We start choosing by the lowest number, and will not choose any number before that number and I proceed by choosing only in increasing order.
So, when we choose the lowest number, we eliminate the number next to the chosen number. We continue this process and on the final selection of number, We have chosen all 10 numbers so we do not have to eliminate any number anymore.
If one thinks carefully, then one will observe that we have eliminated 9 numbers and we can choose any numbers from the remaining 16 numbers as

Since there are six faces, you can form 6*4=24 right-angled triangles on the faces.
and 24 diagonally so total right anled triangles formed=48
total triangles formed by cube=8C3=56
probability=48/56=6/7

In how many ways can we form five digit number composed of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 exactly once such that 3 always follows 2 and 4 always precedes 5 but 1 doesn’t precede 2? For example: 21435 is a valid number but 12345 is not.

total nos, =5!
group 23 as single digit and 45 as single digit now we have 3 digit as (23)(45)(1)
no. formed with such arrrangement =3!
probability=3/5

Each of two persons tosses 3 fair coins . The probability that they obtain the same number of heads is ?

S = { HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, TTH,
THT, HTT, TTT }
So, n(S) = 8.
But both A & B are tossing coins.
So, in our case, n (S) = 8^2 = 64.
Out of 8 sample points in a toss of 3 coins, 3 have 2 heads, 3 have 1 head, 1 has 3 heads & 1 has 0 heads.
Again, as tossing is performed by both A & B, firstly, we've to square the results obtained & then add them.
n (A) = 3^2 + 3^2 + 1^2 + 1^2
= 20.
Probability = 20/64 = 5/16

It is known that at noon at a certain place the sun is hidden by clouds on an average 2 days out of every 3 . The chance that the sun will be shining at noon on at least 4 out of 5 specified Future days is ?
Utkarsh Garg 17/10/2018 11:52 pm
P(shining)= 1/3 P(not shining)= 2/3
P(that the sun will be shining at noon on at least 4 out of 5 specified Future day)=
(1/3)^5 + (1/3)^4* 5c1(2/3)

Cubes painted on two side : 24
2 faces are colored, so probability that the cubes lands on un-colored face is 4/6
Cubes painted on three sides : 8
3 faces are colored, so probability that the cubes lands on un-colored face is 3/6
Probability : (24 x 4/6 + 8 x 3/6 )/ 64 = 5/16
