Practicing Success
Two integers are selected at random from integers 1 to 11. If the sum is even, the probability that both the numbers are odd, is |
$\frac{3}{5}$ $\frac{2}{5}$ $\frac{1}{5}$ $\frac{4}{5}$ |
$\frac{3}{5}$ |
Out of integers from 1 to 11, there are 5 even integers and 6 odd integers. Consider the following events: A = Both the numbers chosen are odd, B = The sum of the numbers chosen is even. ∴ Required probability $ = P( A/ B)$ = Probability that the two numbers chosen are odd if it is given that the sum of the numbers chosen is even. $=\frac{^C_2}{^C_2+ {^6C}_2}=\frac{3}{5}$ |
