14.A bag A contains 4 black and 6 red balls and bag B contains 7 black and 3
red balls. A die is thrown. If 1 or 2 appears on it, then bag A is chosen,
otherwise bag B. If two balls are drawn at random (without replacement)
from the selected bag, find the probability of one of them being red and
another black.
[CBSE 2015]
15.There are two boxes, namely box-I and box-II. Box-I contains 3 red and 6

selected at random and a ball is drawn at random. The ball drawn is found to
be red. Find the probability that this red ball comes out from box-II.

16.In answering a question on a multiple choice test, a student either knows the
answer or guesses. Let ¾ be the probability that he knows the answer and ¼
be the probability that he guesses. Assuming that a student who guesses at
the answer will be correct with probability ¼. What is the probability that the
student known the answer given that he answered it correctly?
17.A bag contains two coins, one biased and the other unbiased. When tossed,
the biased coin has a 60% chance of showing heads. One of the coins is
selected at random and on tossing it shows tails. What is the probability it
was an unbiased coin?

18.A bag contains 4 balls. Two balls are drawn at random (without
replacement) and are found to be white. What is the probability that all balls
in the bag are white?

19.Assume that the chances of a patient having a heart attack is 40%. Assuming
that a meditation and yoga course reduces the risk of heart attack by 30%
and prescription of certain drug reduces its chance 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. Interpret the result and state which of the
above stated methods is more beneficial for the patient.

of the lost card being diamond.
21.Let a pair of dice be thrown and the random variable X be the sum of the
numbers that appear on the two dice. Find the mean or expectation of X.
