Sample Questions

1multiple choice

A box contains 4 defective and 6 non-defective items. If 3 items are drawn randomly without replacement, what is the probability that exactly 2 are defective?

Show answer

3/10

P(exactly 2 defective) = C(4,2)×C(6,1)/C(10,3) = (6×6)/120 = 36/120 = 3/10. We choose 2 defective from 4 and 1 non-defective from 6, divided by total ways to choose 3 from 10.

2multiple choice

Two events A and B are such that P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.6, and P(A∩B) = 0.24. Are A and B independent events?

Show answer

Yes

For independent events, P(A∩B) = P(A)×P(B). Check: 0.4×0.6 = 0.24, which equals P(A∩B). Since the condition is satisfied, A and B are independent.

3multiple choice

A card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards. Given that the card is red, what is the probability that it is a heart?

Show answer

1/2

P(Heart|Red) = P(Heart∩Red)/P(Red) = (13/52)/(26/52) = 13/26 = 1/2. Among the 26 red cards, 13 are hearts, so the probability is 13/26 = 1/2.

4multiple choice

In a multiple choice test with 4 options per question, what is the probability of getting exactly 2 correct answers out of 3 questions by random guessing?

Show answer

9/64

P(exactly 2 correct) = C(3,2)×(1/4)²×(3/4)¹ = 3×(1/16)×(3/4) = 9/64. Using binomial probability with n=3, k=2, p=1/4.
