If $P(A) = 2/3$, $P(B) = 1/2$ and ${\rm{ }}P(A \cup B) = 5/6$ then events $A$ and $B$ are
Mutually exclusive
Independent as well as mutually exhaustive
Independent
Dependent only on $A$
If $P\,(A) = 0.4,\,\,P\,(B) = x,\,\,P\,(A \cup B) = 0.7$ and the events $A$ and $B$ are independent, then $x =$
Three persons $P, Q$ and $R$ independently try to hit a target . If the probabilities of their hitting the target are $\frac{3}{4},\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$ respectively, then the probability that the target is hit by $P$ or $Q$ but not by $R$ is
Two students Anil and Ashima appeared in an examination. The probability that Anil will qualify the examination is $0.05$ and that Ashima will qualify the examination is $0.10 .$ The probability that both will qualify the examination is $0.02 .$ Find the probability that Only one of them will qualify the examination.
Two aeroplanes $I$ and $II$ bomb a target in succession. The probabilities of $l$ and $II$ scoring a hit correctlyare $0.3$ and $0.2,$ respectively. The second plane will bomb only if the first misses the target. The probability that the target is hit by the second plane is
Let $A$ and $B$ be two events such that $P\,(A) = 0.3$ and $P\,(A \cup B) = 0.8$. If $A$ and $B$ are independent events, then $P(B) = $
