Exercise 31.4

The probabilities of two students $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ coming to the school in time are $\frac{3}{7}$ and $\frac{5}{7}$ respectively. Assuming that the events, ‘A coming in time’ and ‘B coming in time’ are independent, find the probability of only one of them coming to the school in time. Write at least one advantage of coming to school in time.

Given that the events 'A coming in time' and 'B coming in time' are independent. The advantage of coming to school in time is that you will not miss any part of the lecture and will be able to learn...

(i) A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards so that each card is equally likely to be selected. State whether events $A$ and $B$ are independent if, $A=$ the card drawn is a king or queen $B=$ the card drawn is a queen or jack (ii) A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards so that each card is equally likely to be selected. State whether events $A$ and $B$ are independent if, $A=$ the card drawn is black, $B=$ the card drawn is a king

(i) A coin is tossed thrice and all the eight outcomes are assumed equally likely. State whether events $A$ and $B$ are independent if, $A=$ the first throw results in head, $B=$ the last throw results in tail (ii) A coin is tossed thrice and all the eight outcomes are assumed equally likely. State whether events $A$ and $B$ are independent if, $A=$ the number of heads is odd, $B=$ the number of tails is odd

As per the given question, So, $A\;and\;B$ are independent events. (ii)
