Two dice are thrown together. Let A be the event ‘getting 6 on the first die’ and B be the event ‘getting 2 on the second die’. Are the events A and B independent?

योग

उत्तर

A = {(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}

B = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2), (4, 2), (5, 2), (6, 2)}

A ∩ B = {(6, 2)}

P(A) = `6/36 = 1/6`

P(B) = `1/6`

P(A ∩ B) = `1/36`

Events A and B will be independent if

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B)

i.e., L.H.S = P(A ∩ B) = `1/36`

R.H.S = P(A) P(B) = `1/6 xx 1/6 = 1/36`

Hence, A and B are independent.

A fair die is rolled. If face 1 turns up, a ball is drawn from Bag A. If face 2 or 3 turns up, a ball is drawn from Bag B. If face 4 or 5 or 6 turns up, a ball is drawn from Bag C. Bag A contains 3 red and 2 white balls, Bag B contains 3 red and 4 white balls and Bag C contains 4 red and 5 white balls. The die is rolled, a Bag is picked up and a ball is drawn. If the drawn ball is red; what is the probability that it is drawn from Bag B?
