If $$\frac{{1 + 4p}}{4},\,\frac{{1 - p}}{2}$$ and $$\frac{{1 - 2p}}{2}$$ are the probabilities of three mutually exclusive events, then value of $$p$$ is :
$$\frac{{1 + 4p}}{4},\,\frac{{1 - p}}{2},\,\frac{{1 - 2p}}{2}$$ are probabilities of the three mutually exclusive events, then
$$\eqalign{
& 0 \leqslant \frac{{1 + 4p}}{4} \leqslant 1,\,0 \leqslant \frac{{1 - p}}{2} \leqslant 1,\,0 \leqslant \frac{{1 - 2p}}{2} \leqslant 1 \cr
& {\text{and }}0 \leqslant \frac{{1 + 4p}}{4} + \frac{{1 - p}}{2} + \frac{{1 - 2p}}{2} \leqslant 1 \cr
& \therefore \, - \frac{1}{4} \leqslant p \leqslant \frac{3}{4},\, - 1 \leqslant p \leqslant 1,\, - \frac{1}{2} \leqslant p \leqslant \frac{1}{2},\,\frac{1}{2} \leqslant p \leqslant \frac{5}{2} \cr
& \therefore \,\frac{1}{2} \leqslant p \leqslant \frac{1}{2} \cr} $$
[The intersection of above four intervals]
$$\therefore \,p = \frac{1}{2}$$

$$10$$ different books and $$2$$ different pens are given to $$3$$ boys so that each gets equal number of things. The probability that the same boy does not receive both the pens is :
$$n\left( S \right) = {}^{12}{C_4} \times {}^8{C_4} \times {}^4{C_4}$$
$$n\left( E \right) = n\left( S \right) - $$ the number of ways in which one boy gets both the pens
$$ = n\left( S \right) - {}^{10}{C_2} \times {}^8{C_4} \times {}^4{C_4} \times \left( {3!} \right)$$
$$\therefore \,P\left( E \right) = 1 - \frac{{{}^{10}{C_2} \times {}^8{C_4} \times {}^4{C_4} \times \left( {3!} \right)}}{{{}^{12}{C_4} \times {}^8{C_4} \times {}^4{C_4}}} = 1 - \frac{6}{{11}} = \frac{5}{{11}}.$$

From past experience it is known that an investor will invest in security $$A$$ with a probability of $$0.6,$$ will invest in security $$B$$ with a probability $$0.3$$ and will invest in both $$A$$ and $$B$$ with a probability of $$0.2.$$ What is the probability that an investor will invest neither in $$A$$ nor in $$B\,?$$

Numbers $$1,\,2,\,3,\,.....,100$$ are written down on each of the cards $$A,\,B$$ and $$C$$. One number is selected at random from each of the cards. The probability that the numbers so selected can be the measures (in $$cm$$ ) of three sides of right-angled triangles no two of which are similar, is :
$$n\left( S \right) = 100 \times 100 \times 100$$
We know that $${\left( {2n + 1} \right)^2} + {\left( {2{n^2} + 2n} \right)^2} = {\left( {2{n^2} + 2n + 1} \right)^2}$$ for all $$n\, \in \,N.$$
$$\therefore $$ for $$n = 1,\,2,\,3,\,4,\,5,\,6,$$ we get lengths of the three sides of a right-angled triangle whose longest side $$ \leqslant 100.$$
For example, when $$n = 1,$$ sides are $$3,\,4,\,5;$$ when $$n = 2,$$ sides are $$5,\,12,\,13$$ and so on.
The number of selections of $$3,\,4,\,5$$ from the three cards by taking one from each is $$3!.$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \,n\left( E \right) = 6\left( {3!} \right). \cr
& {\text{Hence,}}\,P\left( E \right) = \frac{{6\left( {3!} \right)}}{{100 \times 100 \times 100}} = \frac{1}{{100}}{\left( {\frac{3}{{50}}} \right)^2}. \cr} $$

Seven white balls and three black balls are randomly placed in a row. The probability that no two black balls are placed adjacently equals :
Total number of ways of arranging the balls $$ = \frac{{10!}}{{3!\,7!}} = 120$$
Favourable cases, $$x{B_1}y{B_2}z{B_3}t$$
If $$x,\,y,\,z$$ and $$t$$ be the number of white balls to be places as shown above then $$0 \leqslant x,\,t \leqslant 5,\,1 \leqslant y,\,z \leqslant 6$$
$$\therefore $$ Number of favorable cases
$$\eqalign{
& = {\text{coefficient of }}{x^7}{\text{ in}}{\left( {1 + x + {x^2} + ..... + {x^5}} \right)^2}{\left( {x + {x^2} + ..... + {x^6}} \right)^2} \cr
& = {\text{coefficient of }}{x^7}{\text{ in }}{x^2}{\left( {1 + x + {x^2} + ..... + {x^5}} \right)^4} \cr
& = {\text{coefficient of }}{x^5}{\text{ in}}{\left( {\frac{{1 - {x^6}}}{{1 - x}}} \right)^4} \cr
& = {\text{coefficient of }}{x^5}{\text{ in}}{\left( {1 - x} \right)^{ - 4}} \cr
& = {}^8{C_5} \cr
& = 56 \cr} $$
$$\therefore $$ Desired probability $$ = \frac{{56}}{{120}} = \frac{7}{{15}}$$

Fifteen coupons are numbered 1, 2 . . . . . 15, respectively. Seven coupons are selected at random one at a time with replacement. The probability that the largest number appearing on a selected coupon is 9, is

An unbiased die with faces marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 is rolled four times. Out of four face values obtained, the probability that the minimum face value is not less than 2 and the maximum face value is not greater than 5, is then:
The min. face value is not less than 2 and max. face value is not greater than 5 if we get any of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, while total possible out comes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
∴ In one thrown of die, prob. of getting any no. Out of 2, 3, 4 and 5 is $$ = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$$
If the die is rolled four times, then all these events being independent, the required prob. $${\left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right)^4} = \frac{{16}}{{81}}$$

A box contains $$20$$ identical balls of which $$10$$ are blue and $$10$$ are green. The balls are drawn at random from the box one at a time with replacement. The probability that a blue ball is drawn $${4^{th}}$$ time on the $${7^{th}}$$ draw is :
