- @VIVEK JAIN hw u solved.... its being
=> 1/23*22/23 + 1/23*21/23 + 1/23*20/23 + .... + 1/23*1/23
then after solving it the ans is 11/23 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(35) No(2)
- ram can draw 1 or 2 or 3 or 4......or 23 => p(ram draws 1 card)=1/23
now for shayam can have choices to draw card greater than ram
if ram draws card 1 then shayam has 22 choices so p(E)=1/23*22/23
" " " " 2 " " " 21 " so p(E)=1/23*21/23
so on........
finally when ram draws card 22 then shayam has 1 choice so p(E)=1/23*1/23
so total probability will be sum of all individual events
i.e p(E)=1/23(22/23+21/23+......+1/23)
=>1/23^2(22+21+20+.....1)
=>1/23^2*((22*(22+1)/2)
=>11/23 ans

- if ram draws 1 then sam has 22 choices
if ram draws 2 then sam has 21 choices
So..
the probality that Sam has drawn a card greater than Ram
=> 1/23*22/23 + 1/23*21/23 + 1/23*20/23 + .... + 1/23*1/23
=> 1/23*[(22+21+...+10)/23]
=> 1/23*{22/2*[1+22]}/23
=> 252/529 or 84/143 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(11) No(16)
- (1/23)*({22+21+20+19+..............+1}/23)
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- If ram draws 1 then Sam has 22 choices. If ram draws 2 then Sam has 21 choices and so on..
So, the probality that Sam has drawn a card greater than Ram is
=> 1/23*22/23 + 1/23*21/23 + 1/23*20/23 + .... + 1/23*1/23
=> 1/23*[(22+21+...+10)/23]
=> 1/23*{22/2*[1+22]}/23
=> 252/529 or 84/143
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
- (1/23)*({22+21+20+19+..............+1}/23)
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- 1/23(22+21+20+...+1)/23
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- as sam should be more than ram
probability of sam is 10/23 and
probability of ram is 12/23
total probability is 10*12/(23*23)=120/529 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
- If ram draws 1 then Sam has 22 choices. If ram draws 2 then Sam has 21 choices and so on..
So, the probality that Sam has drawn a card greater than Ram is
=> 1/23*22/23 + 1/23*21/23 + 1/23*20/23 + .... + 1/23*1/23
=> 1/23*[(22+21+...+10)/23]
=> 1/23*{22/2*[1+22]}/23
=> 252/529 or 84/143 - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
