Two natural numbers r, s are drawn one at a time, without replacement from the set S = {1, 2, 3, ...., n}. Find P[r ≤ p|s ≤ p], where p ∈ S.
उत्तर
Given that: S = {1, 2, 3, ..., n}
∴ P(r ≤ p|s ≤ p) = `("P"("P" ∩ "S"))/("P"("S"))`
= `("p" - 1)/"n" xx "n"/("n" - 1)`
= `("p" - 1)/("n" - 1)`
Hence, the required probability is `("p" - 1)/("n" - 1)`.

Box-I contains 8 red (R11, R12, R13) and 2 blue (B11, B12) marbles while Box-II contains 2 red(R21, R22) and 4 blue (B21, B22, B23, B24) marbles. A fair coin is tossed.
