Eight coins are tossed together. The probability of getting exactly 3 heads is ______.
विकल्प
`1/256`
`7/32`
`5/32`
`3/32`
उत्तर
Eight coins are tossed together. The probability of getting exactly 3 heads is `7/32`.
Explanation:
Here, n = 8
p = `1/2`
q = `1 - 1/2 = 1/2`
And r = 3
We know that P(x = r) = `""^"n""C"_"r" "p"^"r" . "q"^("n" - "r")`
∴ P(x = 3) = `""^8"C"_3 (1/2)^3 (1/2)^(8 - 3)`
= `(8!)/(3! 5!)*(1/2)^3 (1/2)^5`
= `56*(1/2)^8`
= `56*1/256`
= `7/32`

An urn contains 5 red and 2 green balls. A ball is drawn at random from the urn. If the drawn ball is green, then a red ball is added to the urn and if the drawn ball is red, then a green ball is added to the urn; the original ball is not returned to the urn. Now, a second ball is drawn at random from it. The probability that the second ball is red is:
Assertion (A): Two coins are tossed simultaneously. The probability of getting two heads, if it is known that at least one head comes up, is `1/3`.
Reason (R): Let E and F be two events with a random experiment, then `P(E/F) = (P(E ∩ F))/(P(E))`.
