~Probility~

Plz help me in these questions..............(FIITJEE Package)

1. Prob of A wining a game is 0.4 while that of B is 0.6 . What is the probability of A wining a best of 7 games?

2. If Ram and Shyam selects two numbers at random with replacements from {1,2,3,4.....n}. If the probability that Shyam selects a number less than one selected by Ram is 63/128 then...
a) n is odd b) n is perfect square
c) n is a perfect 4th power d) None

3. The probability that a 6 digit number selected at random contains at most three digits repeated is............

4. A fair coin is tossed 9 times the probability that at least 5 consecutive heads occurs is............

5.Let A B C be 3 independent events such that P(A)=1/3, P(B)=1/2, P(C)=1/4. Then probability that exactly 2 events occurs out of 3 events is...........

.Let A B C be 3 independent events such that P(A)=1/3, P(B)=1/2, P(C)=1/4. Then probability that exactly 2 events occurs out of 3 events is...........
1/3*1/2*3/4=1/8
1/2*1/4*2/3=1/12
1/4*1/3*1/2=1/24

adding...1/8+1/12+1/24=1/4

For Abhirup:
In the 1st question, suppose we take the case where A wins 4 games to take the tourney

Now i he wins 4 games on a trot, does he still need to play 3 more games? That is the assumption when you write 7C4 (0.4)4(0.6)3.

1. Prob of A wining a game is 0.4 while that of B is 0.6 . What is the probability of A wining a best of 7 games?

7C4*0.44*0.63+7C5*0.45*0.62+7C6*0.46*0.61+7C7*0.47=4528/15625=.289792

1.Binomial distribution problem. Consider the case where R = 4 or 5 or 6 or 7. Only then can win the tournament, or whatever it is.[4]
