Answer the following questions:

Note: No assignment shall be catered after the date of submission.

1 Suppose we have an unfair coin that has P(H)=0.7 and P(T)=0.3. What is the [5]
probability of getting three successive heads on tossing the coin three times?

2 The three salesman, A, B and C have been given a target selling 10,000 [5]
units of a particular product. The probabilities of their achieving their targets
being respectively 0.25, 0.30, and 0.50. If these three salesman try to sell
the product, find the probability of success of one salesman and failure of
others?

3 A sub-committee of 6 members is to be formed out of a group consisting of 7 [5]

men and 4 women. Calculate the probability that the sub committee will
consist of exactly 2 women.
4 Find a chance of getting3 successes in 5 trails when the chance of getting a [5]
success in one trail is 2/3.

5 Suppose the probability of dialling a wrong number is 0.05. Then what is the [5]
probability of dialling exactly three wrong numbers in 100 dials?

6 A perfect die is thrown a large number of times in set of 8. The occurrence [5]
of 5 or 6 called a success. In what proportion of the set would you expect
three successes?
