a) 1 in 16 b) 1 in 125 c) 1 in 32 d) 1 in 25
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- a) 1 in 16
First car can come out with any colour with prob 1.
second car will come out with probability of same color as 1/2.
third car will come out with probability of same color as 1/2.
4th car will come out with probability of same color as 1/2.
5th car will come out with probability of same color as 1/2.
so odds are 1*1/2* 1/2* 1/2 *1/2=1/16 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(35) No(0)
- FOR COLOR RED-->(1/2)^5=1/32
FOR BLUE-->1/32
SO PROBABILITY=1/32+1/32=1/16 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(0)
- 1 in 32 is the answer
probability of 1 car among blue and red is 1/2
and if it chooses 5 times the answer will be
1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2=1/32 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(4)
- P(red car/blue car)= 1/2; P(all 5 red cars or blue will be chosen)=1/(2^5)=1/32;

- 1 in 32 is the answer
probability of 1 car among blue and red is 1/2
and if it chooses 5 times the answer will be
1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2=1/32 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
- 1/31 hona chaiye answer
