Three distinct numbers are selected from first 100 natural numbers. The probability that all the three numbers are divisible by 2 and 3 is

Suppose two numbers $a$ and $b$ are chosen randomly from the set $\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$. The probability that function $f(x)=x^3+a x^2+b x$ is strictly increasing function on $\mathbf{R}$ is:

$A$ and $B$ play a game where each is asked to select a number from 1 to 25. If the two numbers match, both of them win a prize. The probability that they will not win a prize in a single trial, is

One coin is thrown 100 times. The probability of coming tail in odd number

A fair coin is tossed a fixed number of times. If the probability of getting 7 heads is equal to probability of getting 9 heads, then the probability of getting 2 heads is.

The mean and variance of a binomial distribution are 6 and 4. The parameter $n$ is

In a multiple choice question, there are five alternative answers of which one or more than one are correct. A candidate will get marks on the question, if he ticks all the correct answers. If he decides to tick answers at random, then the least number of choice should he be allowed so that the probability of his getting marks on the question exceeds $\frac{1}{8}$ is

Three persons $A, B$ and $C$ are to speak at a function along with five others. If they all speak in random order, the probability that $A$ speaks before $B$ and $B$ speaks before $\mathrm{C}$ is

An ordinary cube has four blank faces, one face marked 2 and another marked 3. Then the probability of obtaining 9 in 5 throws, is

There are 4 white and 4 black balls in a bag and 3 balls are drawn at random. If balls of same colour are identical, the probability that none of them is black, is

Two numbers $a$ and $b$ are selected at random from $1,2,3, \ldots, 100$ and are multiplied. Then, the probability that the product $a b$ is divisible by 3 , is

Let $A$ and $B$ be independent events such that $P(A) = p$ and $P(B) = 2p$. The largest value of $p$, for which $P$ (exactly one of $A$, $B$ occurs) $\frac{5}{9}$, is

Three numbers are chosen at random without replacement from $\{1,2,3, \ldots, 8\}$. The probability that their minimum is 3 , given that their maximum is 6 , is

A wire of length $l$ is cut into three pieces. What is the probability that the three pieces from a triangle?

Refer to question 19 above. If the probability that exactly two of the three balls were red, then the first ball being red, is

If $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n$ are any $n$ events, then

If $X$ has binomial distribution with mean $np$ and variance $npq,$ then $\frac{{P\left( {X = k} \right)}}{{P\left( {X = k - 1} \right)}}$ is equal to

If 15 boys of different ages are distributed into 3 groups of 4, 5, and 6 boys randomly then the probability that three youngest boys are in different groups is

A book writer writes a good book with probability $\frac{1}{2}$. If it is a good book, the probability that it will be published is $\frac{2}{3}$, otherwise it is $\frac{1}{4}$. If he writes 2 books, the probability that at least one book will be published is

Probability $P\left( A \right) = \frac{4}{5},P\left( {B'} \right) = \frac{2}{5}$ and $P\left( {A \cap B} \right) = \frac{1}{2},$ then $P\left( {A \cap B'} \right)$ is equal to

The probabilities of three events $A, B$ and $C$ are given $P(A)=0.6, P(B)=0.4$ and $P(C)=0.5$. If $P(A \cup B)=0.8$, $P(A \cap C)=0.3, \quad P(A \cap B \cap C)=0.2, \quad P(B \cap C)=\beta \quad$ and $P(A \cup B \cup C)=\alpha$, where $0.85 \leq \alpha \leq 0.95$, then $\beta$ lies in the interval

Probability that A speaks truth is $4 / 5$. A coin is tossed. A reports that a head appears. The probability that actually there was head is

Numbers are selected at random one at a time, from the numbers $00,01,02, \ldots, 99$ with replacement. An event $E$ occurs if and only if the product of the two digits of a selected number is 18 . If four numbers are selected, then the probability that ${E}$ occurs at least 3 times, is

A coin is tossed 10 times. The probability of getting exactly six heads, is

A random variable $X$ takes the values $0,1,2,3$ and its mean is 1.3. If $P(X=3)=2 P(X=1)$ and $P(X=2)=0.3,$ then $P(X=0),$ is
