All the jacks, queens, kings, and aces of a regular 52 cards deck are taken out. The 16 cards are thoroughly shuffled and m opponent, a person who always tells the truth, simultaneously draws two cards at random and says, I hold at least one ace. The probability that he holds two aces is `2//8` b. `4//9` c. `2//3` d. `1//9`

A

`2//8`

B

`4//9`

C

`2//3`

D

`1//9`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
A: exactly oen ace
B: both aces
E: `AuuB`
`P(B//AuuB)=(""^(4)C_(2))/(""^(4)C_(1)""^(12)C_(1)+""^(4)C_(2))=6/54=1/9`

All the jacks, queens, kings, and aces of a regular 52 cards deck are taken out. The 16 cards are throughly shuffled and may opponent, a person who always tells the truth, simultaneously draws two cards at random and says, "I hold at least one ace". The probability that he holds two aces is

A hat contains a number of cards with 30% white on both sides, 50% black on one side and whit e on the other side, 20% black on both sides. The cards are mixed up, and a single card is drawn at random and placed on the table. Its upper side shows up black. The probability that its other side is also black is 2//9 b. 4//9 c. 2//3 d. 2//7

Five cards-the ten, jack, queen, king and ace of diamonds, are well-shuffled with their face downwards: One card is selected at random. (i) What is the probability that the card is the queen? (b) If the queen is selected and put aside (without replacement), what is the probability that the second card selected is (a) an ace? (b) a queen?

Cards are drawn one-by-one at random from a well-shuffled pack of 52 playing cards until 2 aces are obtained from the first time. The probability that 18 draws are obtained for this is a. 3//34 b. 17//455 c. 561//15925 d. none of these

There are two urns Aa n dB . Urn A contains 5 red, 3 blue and 2 white balls, urn B contains 4 red, 3 blue, and 3 white balls. An urn is chosen at random and a ball is drawn. Probability that ball drawn is red is a. 9//10 b. 1//2 c. 11//20 d. 9//20

For the three events A ,B ,a n dC ,P (exactly one of the events AorB occurs) =P (exactly one of the two evens BorC ) =P (exactly one of the events CorA occurs) =pa n dP (all the three events occur simultaneously) =p^2w h e r e 0 < p < 1//2. Then the probability of at least one of the three events A ,Ba n dC occurring is a. (3p+2p^2)/2 b. (p+3p^2)/4 c. (p+3p^2)/2 d. (3p+2p^2)/4

Two cards are drawn successively with replacement from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Let X denote the random variable of number of aces obtained in the two drawn cards. Then P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) equals

a. The top of the atmosphere is at about 400 kV with respectto the surface of the earth, corresponding to an electric field that decreases with altitude. Near the surface of the earth, the field is about 100 Vm^(-1). Why then do we not get a electric shock as we step out of our house into the openy (Assume the house to be a steel cage so there is no field inside!) b. A man fixes outside his house one evening a two metre high insulating slab carrying on its top a large aluminium sheet of area 1m^(2) . Will he get an electric shock if he touches the metal sheet next morning? c. The discharging current in the atmosphere due to the small conductivity of air is known to be 1800A on an average over the globe. Why then does the atmosphere not discharge itself completely in due course and become electrically neutral? In other words, what keeps the atmosphere charged? d. What are the forms of energy into which the electrical energy of the atmosphere is dissipated during a lightning? (Hint: The earth has an electric field of about 100 Vm^(-1) at its surface in the downward direction, corresponding to a surface charge density =-10^(-9) Cm^(-2) ?.
