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. (C.B.S.E. (Delhi) 2015) 120. An unbiased coin is tossed 4 times. Find the mean and variance of the number of heads obtained. (C.B.S.E. (Dethi) 2015) 121, Ina set of 10 coins, 2 coins are with heads on both the sides. A coin is selected at random from this set and tossed five times. If all the five times, the result was heads, find the probability that the selected coin had heads on both the sides.

A.LC.B.S.E. 2017) 129, Of the students in a school, it is known that 30% have 100% attendance and 70% students are irregular. Previous year results report that 70% of all students who have 100% attendance attain A grade and 10% irregular students attain A grade in their annual examination. At the end of the year, one student is chosen at random from the school and he was found to have an A grade. What is the probability that the student has 100% attendance. Is regularity required only in school ? Justify your answer. ALC.B.S.E. 2017)
