1) A girl walks 4 km towards west, then she walks 3 km in a direction 30° east of North
and stops. Determine the girl's displacement from her initial point of Departure
2) If a,b and c are mutually perpendicular vectors of equal magnitudes, show that
the Vector a +b+c is equally inclined to vectors a,b and c
3) A card from a pack of 52 cards is lost. From the remaining cards of the pack, Two
cards are drawn and are found to be both diamonds. Find the probability of The lost
card being a diamond.
4) Suppose a girl throws a die. If she gets a 5 or 6, she tosses a coin three times and
Notes the number o1 heads. If she gets 1, 2, 3 or 4, she tosses a coin once and
Notes whether a head or tail is obtained. If she obtained exactly one head, what Is
the probability that she threw 1, 2, 3 or 4 with the die?
5) Suppose that the reliability of a HIV test is specified as follows: Of people having
HIV, 90% of the test detect the disease but 1 0% go undetected. r?›f People free of
HIV, 99% of the test are judged HIV—ive but 1 % are diagnosed as Showing
HIV+ive. From a large population of which only 0.1 % have HIV, one person Is
selected at random, given the HIV test, and the pathologist reports him/her as
HIV+ive. What is the probability that the person actually has HIV?
6) Probability of solving specific problem independently by A and B are 1/2 And 1/3
Respectively. If both try to solve the problem independently, find the probability That
(i) the problem is solved (ii) exactly one of them solves the problem.
7) Consider the experiment of tossing a coin. If the coin shows head, toss it Again but
if it shows tail, then throw a die. Find the Conditional probability of the event
that’the die shows A number greater than 4’ given that ‘there is at least One tail’.

8) An electronic assembly consists of two subsystems, say, A and B. From previ-
IL,ius testing procedures, the following probabilities are assumed to be known: P(A
fails) =
0.2 P(B fails alone) = 0.15 P(A and B fail) = 0.15 Evaluate the following probabilities (i)
P(A fails|B has failed) (ii) P(A fails alone)
9) Bag I contains 3 red and 4 black balls and Bag II contains 4 red and 5 black
balls. One ball is transferred from Bag I to Bag II and then a ball is drawn from
Bag II. The ball so drawn is found to be red in colour. Find the probability that
the Transferred ball is black.
10) Assume that the chances of a patient having a heart attack is 40%. It is also
Assumed that a meditation and yoga course reduce the risk of heart attack by 30%
and prescription of certain drug reduces its chances by 25%. At a time a Patient can
choose any one of the two options with equal probabilities. It is given That after
going through one of the two options the patient selected at random Suffers a heart
attack. Find the probability that the patient followed a course of Meditation and
yoga?
11) A and B throw a die alternatively till one of them gets a ‘6’ and wins the Game.
Find their respective probabilities of winning, if A starts first.
12) A coin is biased so that the head is 3 times as likely to occur as tail. If the coin is
tossed twice, find the probability distribution of number o1 tails.
1 3) Two numbers are selected at random (without replacement), from the first six
positive integers. Let X denotes the larger of two numbers obtained. Find E (X).
14) Suppose that two cards are drawn at random from a deck of cards. Let X be the
number of aces obtained. What is the value of E(X)
