The probabilities that $A$ and $B$ will die within a year are $p$ and $q$ respectively, then the probability that only one of them will be alive at the end of the year is
$p + q$
$p + q - 2qp$
$p + q - pq$
$p + q + pq$
A fair coin and an unbiased die are tossed. Let $A$ be the event ' head appears on the coin' and $B$ be the event ' $3$ on the die'. Check whether $A$ and $B$ are independent events or not.
A bag contains $9$ discs of which $4$ are red, $3$ are blue and $2$ are yellow. The discs are similar in shape and size. A disc is drawn at random from the bag. Calculate the probability that it will be either red or blue.
If $A$ and $B$ are two events such that $P\,(A \cup B) = P\,(A \cap B),$ then the true relation is
If $P(A) = P(B) = x$ and $P(A \cap B) = P(A' \cap B') = \frac{1}{3}$, then $x = $
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
