Let $A$ and $B $ be two events such that $P\left( {\overline {A \cup B} } \right) = \frac{1}{6}\;,P\left( {A \cap B} \right) = \frac{1}{4}$ and $P\left( {\bar A} \right) = \frac{1}{4}$ where $\bar A$ stands for the complement of the event $A$. Then the events $A$ and$B$ 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
Events $E$ and $F$ are such that $P ( $ not $E$ not $F )=0.25,$ State whether $E$ and $F$ are mutually exclusive.
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
Two dice are thrown. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers appearing on the two dice is $11$, if $5$ appears on the first
If $A$ and $B$ are two events such that $P(A) = 0.4$ , $P\,(A + B) = 0.7$ and $P\,(AB) = 0.2,$ then $P\,(B) = $
