Step-by-Step Solution

The question asks for the value of \(P(S|E)\), which is the probability of the sample space S occurring given that event E has occurred.

By the definition of conditional probability, \(P(S|E) = \frac{P(S \cap E)}{P(E)}\)

Since E is an event in the sample space S, \(S \cap E = E\). Therefore, \(P(S \cap E) = P(E)\)

Substituting this into the conditional probability formula, we get \(P(S|E) = \frac{P(E)}{P(E)} = 1\)

Correct Answer: 1

The probability of simultaneous occurrence of at least one of the two events $X$ and$Y$ is $a$. If the probability that exactly one of the events $X, Y$ occurs is $b$, prove that $P(X') + P(Y') = 2 – 2a + b$.

(a) In answering a question on a multiple choice test, a student either knows the answer or guesses. Let 3/5 be the probability that he knows the answer and 2/5 be the probability that he guesses. Assuming that a student who guesses at the answer will be correct with probability 1/3. What is the probability that the student knows the answer, given that he answered it correctly? OR (b) A box contains 10 tickets, 2 of which carry a prize of ₹8 each, 5 of which carry a prize of ₹4 each, and remaining 3 carry a prize of ₹2 each. If one ticket is drawn at random, find the mean value of the prize.

In a school, the probability of holding a debate competition is $\frac{1}{3}$ and that of a quiz competition is $\frac{2}{3}$. In the two participating teams, A has 4 girls and 6 boys and B has 7 girls and 3 boys. If a debate competition is held, the students are selected from team A and for the quiz competition they are selected from team B. If only two students are to be chosen from the teams, then find the probability that one will be a girl and the other a boy.
