Mathematics Question on Probability
A coin is tossed twice. Then Match List-I with List-II:
List-I | List-II (Adverbs) |
---|---|
(A) P(exactly 2 heads) | (I) 41 |
(B) P(at least 1 head) | (II) 1 |
(C) P(at most 2 heads) | (III) 43 |
(D) P(exactly 1 head) | (IV) 21 |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
Solution
(A): P(exactly2heads) occurs when both tosses are heads (HH). The probability is:
P(exactly2heads)=41.
Thus, (A)-(I).
(B): P(atleast1head) occurs in the cases HT, TH, and HH. The probability is:
P(atleast1head)=1−P(noheads)=1−41=43.
Thus, (B)-(III).
(C): P(atmost2heads) includes all possible outcomes (HH, HT, TH, TT). The probability is:
P(atmost2heads)=1.
Thus, (C)-(II).
(D): P(exactly1head) occurs in the cases HT and TH. The probability is:
P(exactly1head)=42=21.
Thus, (D)-(IV).
