In a book, number of words per page is
normally distributed with mean 800 words and
standard deviation of 50 words. If three pages
are chosen at random, what is the probability
that none of them has words between 830 to
845 words per page?

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
Solution….

• (830-800)/50 = .6
• The Z value for .6 is .2257
• (845-800)/50 = .9, Z value for that is .3195
• Thus the difference of these values is
• .3195-.2257 = .0938 (probability of having a
number between 830 to 845). (1-.0938 = .9062
is the probability of one page not between 830 to
845).
• We have 3 pages, so solution is 3c0
• Or 3c0 = 3c0*(.0938)^0*(.9062)^3
• = .744 answer

A fair coin is tossed 120 times. Find the
probability that the number of heads is 5/8 or
more in ratio?
• 5/8 *120 = 75
• Formula : (75 – 60) / standard deviation
• Standard deviation= sqrt(n*p*q)
• =SQRT(120*.5*.5) = 5.477
• =(75-60)/5.477
• Z =2.73
• Z value is .4968
• (.5 -.4968) = .0032
• Thus the probability is : .32% answer.

WE DRAW THREE CARDS FROM A PACK OF
CARDS WITHOUT REPLACEMENT, WHAT IS
THE PROBABILITY THAT THEY ARE OF
BLACK COLOUR?

• There are 26 cards which are black and 26 red


cards in a pack of cards. Thus probability of the
first card being black is : 26/52. Similarly, the
probabilty of the second card is : 25/51 (as card
is not replaced), similarly, the probability for the
third card : 24/50.
• Probability of first 3 cards being black:
• 26/52*25/51*24/50= .117 answer.

WE DRAW THREE CARDS FROM A PACK OF
CARDS WITH REPLACEMENT, WHAT IS THE
PROBABILITY THAT THEY ARE OF BLACK
COLOUR?
• There are 26 cards which are black and 26 red
cards in a pack of cards. Thus probability of the
first card being black is : 26/52. Similarly, the
probabilty of the second card is : 26/52 (as the
card which has been drawn, has been replaced).
The probability for the third card is also: 26/52
(as we again replace the card being drawn).
• Thus probability of the first 3 cards being black :
• = 26/52*26/52*26/52 = .125 answer.

P(a) =1/2, P(b) = 1/3, P(a∩b)=1/4, what is
P (aUb)?
• As we can see the
union of a + b =
1/3

1/2
• ½ + 1/3 – ¼
1/4 • = .583 answer.

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
P(a) =1/2, P(b) = 1/3, P(a∩b)=1/4, what is
P (a/b)?
• It means the probability of a, when b has
already taken place. It is calculated by
dividing P(a∩b) by P(b)
• Therefore, the probability will be
calculated as : ¼ divided by 1/3
• Thus we have .25/ .33 = .75 answer.

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
P(a) =1/2, P(e) = 1/3, P(a∩e)=1/4, what is P
(ā∩ē)
• Here we have to identify ā and ē. It is the
area, which neither belongs to a nor to b.
ā is equal to 1- ½ = ½. ē is equal to 1-1/3
, which is 2/3. there intersection is :
• 1 – P (aUb)
• =1 - .583
• =.417 answer.
