The probability distribution function of a random variable X is given by
| xi : | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| pi : | 3c3 | 4c − 10c2 | 5c-1 |
where c > 0 Find: P (1 < X ≤ 2)
उत्तर
P (1 < X ≤ 2)
\[= P\left( X = 2 \right)\]
\[ = 5c - 1\]
\[ = \frac{5}{3} - 1\]
\[ = \frac{5 - 3}{3}\]
\[ = \frac{2}{3}\]

Of the students in a college, it is known that 60% reside in hostel and 40% are day scholars (not residing in hostel). Previous year results report that 30% of all students who reside in hostel attain A grade and 20% of day scholars attain A grade in their annual examination. At the end of the year, one student is chosen at random from the college and he has an A grade, what is the probability that the student is hostler?
