Answer any three from Question 2 to Question 5 (10 X 3 = 30)

2. a) In a box there are 20 bulbs. The bulbs are identified by identity number 1 to 20. One bulb is
selected randomly. Find the probability that the selected bulb has the identity number (i) either
multiple of 4 or 5, and (ii) even under the condition that it is multiple of 5. 5
b) There are 40 students in a course at AIUB, out of which, 22 are from EEE and 18 are from
CSE department. The CGPA of 12 EEE and 8 CSE students are found to be good. One student is
selected randomly. Find the probability that the selected student is (i) from CSE dept. given that
his CGPA is good, and (ii) either from EEE dept. or his CGPA is not good. 5
