Probability (Class 12) · Question 14

A card from a pack of 52 cards is lost. From the remaining 51 cards, n cards are drawn and are found to be spades. If the probability of the lost card to be a spade is 1150, then n is equal to .

If the probability that the random variable X takes the value x is given by P(X = x) = k(x + 1)3-x, x = 0, 1, 2, 3, , where k is a constant, then P(X 3) is equal to

Given three identical bags each containing 10 balls, whose colours are as follows : arraylccc & Red & Blue & Green \ Bag I & 3 & 2 & 5 \ Bag II & 4 & 3 & 3 \ Bag III & 5 & 1 & 4 array A person chooses a bag at random and takes out a ball. If the ball is Red, the probability that it is from bag I is p and if the ball is Green, the probability that it is from bag III is q, then the value of ( 1p + 1q ) is:
