Q3) Three Coins are tossed, find the probability that two heads and one tail are
obtained?
HHT + HTH + THH
=1/8+1/8+1/8
=3/8
Q4) Two Dice are rolled, find the probability that sum is
a) Equal to 1
=zero, as none of the outcomes will be equal to one
b) Less than or equal to 4
=(1,3)(2,2)(3,1) = 3/36= 1/12
c) Sum is divisible by 2 and 3
6/36= 1/6

Q5) A bag contains 2 red, 3 green and 2 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at
random. What is the probability that none of the balls drawn is blue?
=p(2R, 3G, 2B)
=p(5/7, 4/6)= 20/42
= 10/21

Q6) Calculate the Expected number of candies for a randomly selected child
Below are the probabilities of count of candies for children (ignoring the nature of
the child-Generalized view)
CHILD Candies count Probability
A 1 0.015
B 4 0.20
C 3 0.65
D 5 0.005
E 6 0.01
F 2 0.120
Child A – probability of having 1 candy = 0.015.
Child B – probability of having 4 candies = 0.20
=1*0.015+4*0.20+3*0.65+5*0.005+6*0.01+2*0.120
= 3.09
