A card is drawn from a pack of $52$ cards. A gambler bets that it is a spade or an ace. What are the odds against his winning this bet
$17:52$
$52:17$
$9:4$
$5:8$
If $P\,({A_1} \cup {A_2}) = 1 - P(A_1^c)\,P(A_2^c)$ where $c$ stands for complement, then the events ${A_1}$ and ${A_2}$ are
Consider three sets $E_1=\{1,2,3\}, F_1=\{1,3,4\}$ and $G_1=\{2,3,4,5\}$. Two elements are chosen at random, without replacement, from the set $E _1$, and let $S _1$ denote the set of these chosen elements.
Let $E_2=E_1-S_1$ and $F_2=F_1 \cup S_1$. Now two elements are chosen at random, without replacement, from the set $F_2$ and let $S_2$ denote the set of these chosen elements.
Let $G _2= G _1 \cup S _2$. Finally, two elements are chosen at random, without replacement, from the set $G _2$ and let $S _3$ denote the set of these chosen elements.
Let $E_3=E_2 \cup S_3$. Given that $E_1=E_3$, let $p$ be the conditional probability of the event $S_1=\{1,2\}$. Then the value of $p$ is
Given $P(A)=\frac{3}{5}$ and $P(B)=\frac{1}{5}$. Find $P(A $ or $B),$ if $A$ and $B$ are mutually exclusive events.
If ${A_1},\,{A_2},...{A_n}$ are any $n$ events, then
If $P(A)=\frac{3}{5}$ and $P(B)=\frac{1}{5},$ find $P(A \cap B)$ if $A$ and $B$ are independent events
