The probability that a non leap year selected at random will have $53$ Sundays is
- $0$
- $1/7$
- $2/7$
- $3/7$
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Out of these $7$ cases, we have Sunday in one case.
$\therefore$ Total number of outcomes $=7$
Number of favourable outcomes $=1$
Hence, required probability $=\frac{1}{7}$

- A bag contains N balls out of which 3 balls are white, 6 balls are green, and the remaining balls are blue. Assume that the balls are identical otherwise. Three balls are drawn randomly one after the other without replacement. For i = 1, 2, 3, let Wi, Gi and Bi denote the events that the ball drawn in the ith draw is a white ball, green ball, and blue ball, respectively. If the probability \(P(W_1∩G_2∩B_3)=\frac{2}{5N}\) and the conditional probability \(P(B_3|W_1∩G_2)=\frac{2}{9}\), then N equals ________.

- Two factories \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \) produce cricket bats that are labelled. Any randomly chosen bat produced by factory \( F_1 \) is defective with probability 0.5 and any randomly chosen bat produced by factory \( F_2 \) is defective with probability 0.1. One of the factories is chosen at random, and two bats are randomly purchased from the chosen factory. Let the labels on these purchased bats be \( B_1 \) and \( B_2 \). If \( B_1 \) is found to be defective, then the conditional probability that \( B_2 \) is also defective is equal to __________ (round off to 2 decimal places).

- Consider a coin for which the probability of obtaining head in a single toss is \( \frac{1}{3} \). Sunita tosses the coin once. If head appears, she receives a random amount of \( X \) rupees, where \( X \) has the \( \text{Exp}\left( \frac{1}{9} \right) \) distribution. If tail appears, she loses a random amount of \( Y \) rupees, where \( Y \) has the \( \text{Exp}\left( \frac{1}{3} \right) \) distribution. Her expected gain (in rupees) is equal to __________ (answer in integer).

Concepts Used:
Probability
Probability is defined as the extent to which an event is likely to happen. It is measured by the ratio of the favorable outcome to the total number of possible outcomes.
The definitions of some important terms related to probability are given below:
Sample space
The set of possible results or outcomes in a trial is referred to as the sample space. For instance, when we flip a coin, the possible outcomes are heads or tails. On the other hand, when we roll a single die, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Sample point
In a sample space, a sample point is one of the possible results. For instance, when using a deck of cards, as an outcome, a sample point would be the ace of spades or the queen of hearts.
Experiment
When the results of a series of actions are always uncertain, this is referred to as a trial or an experiment. For Instance, choosing a card from a deck, tossing a coin, or rolling a die, the results are uncertain.
Event
An event is a single outcome that happens as a result of a trial or experiment. For instance, getting a three on a die or an eight of clubs when selecting a card from a deck are happenings of certain events.
Outcome
A possible outcome of a trial or experiment is referred to as a result of an outcome. For instance, tossing a coin could result in heads or tails. Here the possible outcomes are heads or tails. While the possible outcomes of dice thrown are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
