An unbiased coin is tossed. If the result is a head, a pair of unbiased dice is rolled and the number obtained by adding the numbers on the two faces is noted. If the result is a tail, a card from a well shuffled pack of eleven cards numbered $2, 3, 4,.......,12$ is picked and the number on the card is noted. The probability that the noted number is either $7$ or $8$, is

A

$0.24$

B

$0.244$

C

$0.024$

D

None of these

Solution

(b) Required probability $=$ probability that either the number is $7$ or the number is $8$.

$i.e.,$ Required Probability $ = {P_7} + {P_8}$

Now ${P_7} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{{11}} + \frac{1}{2}.\frac{6}{{36}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{1}{{11}} + \frac{1}{6}} \right)$

${P_8} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{{11}} + \frac{1}{2}.\frac{5}{{36}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{1}{{11}} + \frac{5}{{36}}} \right)$

$\therefore \,\,\,P = \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{2}{{11}} + \frac{{11}}{{36}}} \right) = 0.244.$

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.
