Probability
The probability that a student gets distinction in a Mathematics test is $\frac{2}{3}$. If five such tests are conducted over a certain period of time, then the probability that he gets distinction in atleast 3 tests is
$\frac{112}{243}$
$\frac{17}{81}$
$\frac{131}{243}$
$\frac{64}{81}$
If $A$ and $B$ are events of a random experiment such that $P(A \cup B)=\frac{3}{4}, P(A \cap B)=\frac{1}{4}, P(\overline{\mathrm{~A}})=\frac{2}{3}$, then $P(\overline{\mathrm{~A}} \cap \mathrm{~B})=$

$70 \%$ of the total employees of a factory are men. Among the employees of that factory 30\% of men and $15 \%$ of women are technical assistants. If an employee chosen at random is found to be a technical assistant, then the probability that this employee is a man is

The probability that $A$ speaks truth is $75 \%$ and the probability that $B$ speaks truth is $80 \%$. The probability that they contradict each other when asked to speak on a fact is
If the probability distribution of a random variable $X$ is as follows, then $k$ is equal to
$ \begin{array}{c|l|l|l|l} \hline X=x & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline P(X=x) & 2 k & 4 k & 3 k & k \\ \hline \end{array} $
$E_1$ and $E_2$ are two independent events of a random experiment such that $P\left(E_1\right)=\frac{1}{2}$ and $P\left(E_1 \cup E_2\right)=\frac{2}{3}$. Then, match the items of List I with the items of List II.
$ \begin{array}{lll} \hline & \text { List I } & \text { List II } \\ \hline \text { (A) } & P\left(E_2\right) & \text { (i) }1/2 \\ \hline \text { (B) } & P\left(E_1 / E_2\right) & \text { (ii) } 5 / 6 \\ \hline \text { (C) } & P\left(E_2 / E_1\right) & \text { (iii) } 1 / 3 \\ \hline \text { (D) } & P\left(E_1 \cup E_2\right) & \text { (iv) } 1 / 6 \\ \hline & & \text { (v) } 2 / 3 \\ \hline \end{array} $
The correct match isA bag contains 4 red and 5 black balls. Another bag contains 3 red and 6 black balls. If one ball is drawn from first bag and two balls from the second bag at random. The probability that out of the three, two are black and one is red, is
If a random variable $X$ has the following probability distribution, then its variance is nearly
$ \begin{array}{clllllll} \hline X=x & -3 & -2 & -1 & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\ \hline P(X=x) & 0.05 & 0.1 & 2 K & 0 & 0.3 & K & 0.1 \\ \hline \end{array} $
Three numbers are chosen at random from 1 to 20 , then the probability that the sum of three numbers is divisible by 3 is
8 teachers and 4 students are sitting around a circular table at random, then the probability that no two students sit together is
A bag contains 6 balls. If three balls are drawn at a time and all of them are found to be green, then the probability that exactly 5 of the balls in the bag are green is
In a binomial distribution the difference between the mean and standard deviation is 3 and the difference between their squares is 21 , then $P(x=1): P(x=2)=$
When an unfair dice is thrown the probability of getting a number $k$ on it is $P(X=k)=k^2 P$, where $k=1,2,3,4,5,6$ and $X$ is the random variable denoting a number on the dice, then the mean of X is
