Probability
Introduction
Bagrang's relation ship





Dumb Question :- How relation P (getting r' s success)

= Pr qn-r nC r

Ans - In this P is probability of getting success and q is probability of getting failure and p + q = 1

Sclection of r success out of n out comes = nCr

img..... P(getting r' s success)

= P x P x P...............r times x q x q x.............(n - r) times x nCr

Illustration :- A die is rolled n times. Find the value of n if probability of getting at least one ace is 91/216

Ans P(getting at least one ace) = 1 - P(no ace)

P(1) = 1/6 P(not 1) = 5/6



=> n = 3

Probability theorem - (Baye's theorem)

If an event A can occur with n mutually exclusive, exhaustive
event B1, B2, ..............Bn and probability of P(A/B1),
P(A/B2), ................P(A/Bn) is known. Then probability .

P(Bi/A) =

P(A img Bi) = P(Bi). P(A/Bi)
= P (A). P(Bi/A)



P(A) = P(A img B1) + P(A img B2) + ......+ P(Bn) P(A/Bn)

= P(Bi) P(A / Bi)

=P(A). P(Bi / A)

P(A) =

=P(B1) P(A / B1) P (A / B2) + ............+ P(Bn) P(A / Bn)

P(Br) P (A / Br)

Illustration :- A bag cintains 5 balls of unknown color. Two balls are drqwn and both are found to be white. Find the chance that there are 4 white ball in box . Assume any no. of white ball equally likely .

Ans - A : Two balls drawn from a bag contuins 5 balls.
both are white
B0 : 0 white ball
B1 : 1 white ball
B2 : 2 white ball
B3 : 3 white ball
B4 : 4 white ball
B5 : 5 white ball
P(B0) = P(B0) = P(B1) = P(B3) = P(B4) =P(B5) =P(B6) = 1/6

P(A/B0) = 0 P(A/B1) = 0

P(A/B2) =

P(A/B3) =

P(A/B4) =

P(A/B5) =

P(B4/A) =

=
