A coin is tossed and a card is selected at random from a well shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. The probability of getting head on the coin and a face card from the pack is :
(A) \(\frac{2}{13}\)
(B) \(\frac{3}{26}\)
(C) \(\frac{19}{26}\)
(D) \(\frac{3}{13}\)
Correct Answer: B

Step-by-Step Solution

Probability of getting a head on the coin = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Number of face cards in a pack of 52 cards = 12 (Jack, Queen, King of each suit)

Probability of getting a face card = \(\frac{12}{52} = \frac{3}{13}\)

Since the two events are independent, the probability of both events occurring is the product of their individual probabilities.

Required probability = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{13} = \frac{3}{26}\)

Correct Answer: \(\frac{3}{26}\)

AI Suggestion: Option B

Pedagogical Audit
Bloom's Analysis: This is an UNDERSTAND question because the student needs to comprehend the concepts of probability and independent events to solve the problem. They must understand how to calculate the probability of each event separately and then combine them.
Knowledge Dimension: CONCEPTUAL
Justification: The question requires understanding the concepts of probability, independent events, and how to calculate probabilities in combined events. It's not just recalling facts but applying the understanding of these concepts.
Syllabus Audit: In the context of CBSE Class 12, this is classified as KNOWLEDGE. The question directly tests the student's understanding of probability concepts as covered in the textbook.

For the vacancy advertised in the newspaper, 3000 candidates submitted their applications. From the data it was revealed that two third of the total applicants were females and other were males. The selection for the job was done through a written test. The performance of the applicants indicates that the probability of a male getting a distinction in written test is 0.4 and that a female getting a distinction is 0.35. Find the probability that the candidate chosen at random will have a distinction in the written test.

The random variable X has the following probability distribution where a and b are some constants: $P(X)$ for X=1 is 0.2, X=2 is a, X=3 is a, X=4 is 0.2, X=5 is b. If the mean $E(X)=3$, then find values of a and b and hence determine $P(X\ge3)$

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.
