Two buses A and B are scheduled to arrive at a town central bus station at noon. The probus A will be late is `1/5`. The probability that bus B will be late is `7/25`. The probability that the bus B is late given that bus A is late is `9/10`. Then the probabilities: neither bus will be late on a particular day.

A

probability that neither bus will be late on a particular dat is `7//10`

B

probability that bus A is late given that bus B is late is `18//28`

C

probability that at least ne bus is late is `3//10`

D

probability that at least one bus is in time is `4//5`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C

(1) `P(A)=1/5,P(B) =7/25,P(B//A)=9/10`
`P(barAnnbarB)=1-P(AuuB)`
`=1-[P(A)+P(B)-P(AnnB)]`
`=1-[(1)/(5)+(7)/(25)-P(A)P(B//A)]`
`=1-[(1)/(5)+(7)/(25)-1/5xx7/25]=7/10`
(2) `P(A//B)=(P(AnnB))/(P(B))`
`=(P(A)P(B//A))/(P(B))=(1/5xx9/10)/(7/25)`
`=9/50xx25/7=9/14=18/28`
(3) `P(AuuB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A)+P(B)-P(AnnB)`
`" "=P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B//A)`
`=1/5+7/25-1/5xx9/10=41/50`

There are some experiment in which the outcomes cannot be identified discretely. For example, an ellipse of eccentricity 2sqrt(2)//3 is inscribed in a circle and a point within the circle is chosen at random. Now, we want to find the probability that this point lies outside the ellipse. Then, the point must lie in the shaded region shown in Figure. Let the radius of the circle be a and length of minor axis of the ellipse be 2b. Given that 1 - (b^(2))/(a^(2)) = (8)/(9) or (b^(2))/(a^(2)) = (1)/(9) Then, the area of circle serves as sample space and area of the shaded region represents the area for favorable cases. Then, required probability is p= ("Area of shaded region")/("Area of circle") =(pia^(2) - piab)/(pia^(2)) = 1 - (b)/(a) = 1 - (1)/(3) = (2)/(3) Now, answer the following questions.
