Question
Assume that each born child is equally likely to be a boy or a girl. If a family has two children,
what is the conditional probability that both are girls given that
(i) the youngest is a girl.
(ii) at least one is a girl.
Question 2
A die is thrown 7 times. What is the chance that an odd number turns up up
(i) exactly 4 times
(ii) at least 4 times
Question 3
How many times must a person toss a fair coin so that the probability of having at least one head
is more than 90%.
Question 4
In an entrance test, there are multiple choice questions. There are four possible answers to each
question, of which one is correct. The probability that a student knows the answer to the question
is 90%. If he gets correct answer to a question, then find the probability that he was guessing?
Question 5
