Three numbers are chosen at random without replacement from \( \{1, 2, \dots, 10\} \). The probability that the minimum of the chosen numbers is 3 or their maximum is 7, is:
The probability that a non-leap year selected at random will have 53 Sundays or 53 Saturdays is:
If \( E \) and \( F \) are two independent events with \( P(E) = 0.3 \) and \( P(E \cup F) = 0.5 \), then \( P(E \mid F) - P(F \mid E) \) equals:
If 1000! = 3n × m, where m is an integer not divisible by 3, then n =?
Five balls of different colors are to be placed in three boxes of different sizes. The number of ways in which we can place the balls in the boxes so that no box remains empty is:
A biased coin with probability \(p\) (where \(0 < p < 1\)) of getting head is tossed until a head appears for the first time. If the probability that the number of tosses required is even is \(\frac{2}{5}\), then \(p =\):
Two integers \(r\) and \(s\) are drawn one at a time without replacement from the set \(\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}\). Then \(P(r \leq k / s \leq k)\) is:
Two smallest squares are chosen one by one on a chessboard. The probability that they have a side in common is:
The numbers \(1, 2, 3, \ldots, m\) are arranged in random order. The number of ways this can be done, so that the numbers \(1, 2, \ldots, r \, (r < m)\) appear as neighbours is:
In four schools \( B_1, B_2, B_3, B_4 \), the number of students is given as follows: \[ B_1 = 12, \quad B_2 = 20, \quad B_3 = 13, \quad B_4 = 17 \] A student is selected at random from any of the schools. The probability that the student is from school \( B_2 \) is:
If \( f(x) \) defined as given below, is continuous on \( R \), then the value of \( a + b \) is equal to: % Function Definition \[f(x) = \begin{cases} \sin x, & x \leq 0 \\ x^2 + a, & 0<x<1 \\ bx + 3, & 1 \leq x \leq 3 \\ -3, & x>3 \end{cases}\]
