If A and B are two independent events such that P(A) = 0.4, and P(B) = 0.5, then P (neither A nor B) is Option 1: 0.24 Option 2: 0.30 Option 3: 0.25 Option 4: 0.28

Answer: 0.30. Solution: P(neither A nor B) = P(A') * P(B') = (1 - 0.4)(1 - 0.5) = 0.6 x 0.5 = 0.30.

If A and B are two independent events such that $P(A) = 0.4$ , and $P(B) = 0.5$ , then P (neither A nor B) is

$0.24$

$0.30$

$0.25$

$0.28$

✅ Correct Option: 2

$P(\text{neither A nor B}) = P(A') \cdot P(B') = (1 - 0.4)(1 - 0.5) = 0.6 \times 0.5 = 0.30$ .

A farmer has a tubewell which works by connecting two switches $S_1$ and $S_2$ . The probability that $S_1$ works is 9/10 and the probability that $S_2$ works is 8/10. The farmer connects them in series in 30% cases and in parallel in 70% cases. If it is known that the tubewell was working, what is the probability that it was a series connection.

The random variable X has the following probability distribution:

X	1	2	3	4	5
P(X)	$\frac{1}{10}$	$\frac{1}{10}$	$\frac{1}{3}$	k	$\frac{1}{3}$

The correct value of k is:
