Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedMathematicsProbability
A bag contains four tickets marked with numbers 112,121,211,222 . One ticket is drawn at random from the bag. Let E_i(i=1,2,3) denote the event that i^ th digit on the ticket is 2 . Then
Options
- AE ₁ and E ₂ are independent
- BE₂ and E₃ are independent
- CE_y and E₁ are independent
- DE₁ E₂ and E₃ are independent
Correct answer
C. E_y and E₁ are independent
Step-by-step solution
We have P (E_i )= 1 2 for i =1,2,3 aligned & For i j, P (E_i E_j ) & = 1 4 =P (E_j ) P (E_j ) & Also, P (E₁ E₂ E₃ ) & = 1 4 P (E₁ ) P (E₂ ) P (E₃ ) & E₁, E₂, E₃ are not independent aligned
