Two integers are selected at random from the set 1,2, , 11 . Given that the sum of selected numbers is even, the conditional probability that both the numbers are even is :
Options
- A7 10
- B1 2
- C2 5
- D3 5
Correct answer
C. 2 5
Step-by-step solution
Probability of getting sum of selected two numbers is even =P (E₁ )= 5 2 + 5 2 11 2 Probability of getting sum is even and selected numbers are also even P (E₂ )= 5 2 11 2 Hence, P ( E₂ E₁ )= 5 2 6 2 + 5 2 = 10 15+10 = 2 5 .
