Expert Answer:
Total no. of possible outcomes i.e. n(S) = 23 = 8
(i)
Favorable outcomes = {BBG, BGB, GBB}
No. of favorable outcomes = 3
Probability = 3/8
(ii)
Favorable outcomes = {BBG, BGB, GBB, BBB, GGB, GBG, BGG}
No. of favorable outcomes = 7
Probability = 7/8
Favorable outcomes = {BBG, BGB, GBB, BBB, GGB, GBG, BGG}
No. of favorable outcomes = 7
Probability = 7/8

- four digit numbers are formed by using the digit 1,2,3,4 and 5 without repppearing any digit. Find the probability that a number chosen at random is an odd number
- Define conditional probability
- If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.55 and
= 0.7. Then find P(A | B) and P(B | A).
- If A and B are two events such that 2P(A) = P(B) = 4/13 and P(A | B) = 3/7, then P(A
B) = ……
- Let A and B be events of a sample space S of an experiment, then show that
