1.
The probability of obtaining an even prime number on each die, when a pair of dice is rolled is
a. 0 b. $\frac{1}{3}$ c. $\frac{1}{12}$ d. $\frac{1}{36}$
2.
A laboratory blood test is 99% effective in detecting a certain disease when it is in fact, present. However, the test also yields a false positive result for 0.5% of the healthy person tested (i.e. if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability 0.005, the test will imply he has the disease). If 0.1 percent of the population actually has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive ?
3.
Determine $P(E|F)$. Mother, father and son line up at random for a family picture E : son on one end, F : father in middle
4.
A couple has two children, (i) Find the probability that both children are males, if it is known that at least one of the children is male.
5.
In a hostel, 60% of the students read Hindi newspaper, 40% read English newspaper and 20% read both Hindi and English newspapers. A student is selected at random. (c) If she reads English newspaper, find the probability that she reads Hindi newspaper.
6.
Assume that each born child is equally likely to be a boy or a girl. If a family has two children, what is the conditional probability that both are girls given that (ii) at least one is a girl?
