A pack of cards consists of 15 cards numbered 1 to 15. Three cards are drawn at random with replacement. Then, the probability of getting 20 odd and one even numbered cards is |
$\frac{348}{1125}$ $\frac{398}{1125}$ $\frac{448}{1125}$ $\frac{498}{1125}$ |
$\frac{448}{1125}$ |
Let $Ę_i$ (i=1, 2, 3) denote the event of drawing an even numbered card in ith draw and O; denote the event of drawing an odd numbered card ini th (i =1, 2, 3) draw. Then, Required probability $= P((E_1∩O_2∩O_3) U(O_1∩ E_2∩ O_3) U(O_1 ∩ O_2 ∩E_3)]$ $= P(E_1∩ O_2∩O_3) + P(O_1∩ E_2O_3) + P(O_1∩O_2 ∩E_3)$ $= P(E_1) P(O_1) P(O_3) + P(O_1) P(E_2) P(O_3) + P(O_1) P(O_2) P(E_3)$ $=\frac{7}{15}× \frac{8}{15} ×\frac{8}{15} + \frac{8}{15} ×\frac{7}{15} × \frac{8}{15} +\frac{8}{15} ×\frac{8}{15} × \frac{7}{15} $ $=\frac{3×7 × 8^2}{15^3}=\frac{448}{1125}$ |
