3. A card from a pack of 52 cards is lost. From the remaining cards of the pack,
two cards are drawn and are found to be both diamonds. Find the
probability of the lost card being a diamond.
5. A speaks truth 75% of the cases, while B speaks in 90% of the cases. In what
percent of cases are they likely to contradict each other in stating the same
fact?
6. There are three coins. One coin is having tails on both faces, another is a
biased coin that comes up tails 70% of the time and the third is an
unbiased coin. One of the coins is chosen at random and tossed. Find the
probability that it shows tail.
8. A and B throw a pair of dice alternately. A wins the game, if he gets a total of
7 and B wins the game, if he gets a total of 10. If A starts the game, then find
the probability that B wins.
10.Two cards are drawn successively with replacement from a well-shuffled deck
of 52 cards. Find the probability distribution of the number of aces.
11.Assume that the chances of a patient having a heart attack is 40%. It is also
assumed that a meditation and yoga course reduce the risk of heart attack
by 30% and prescription of certain drug reduces its chances by 25%. At a time
a patient can choose any one of the two options with equal probabilities. It is
given that after going through one of the two options the patient selected at
random suffers a heart attack. Find the probability that the patient followed
a course of meditation and yoga?
