Let us defined the events as
A : Unbiased coin is selected
B : Biased coin in selected
H : Head turns up.
Now,
.
If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.7, P(B) = 0.4 and , where denotes the complement of B, then is equal to [2025]
(4)
=0.7 – 0.5 = 0.2
Now,
= 0.7+(1– 0.4) – 0.5 = 0.8
= 0.2
Now, .
Two balls are selected at random one by one without replacement from a bag containing 4 white and 6 black balls. If the probability that the first selected balls is black, given that the second selected ball is also black is , where gcd (m, n) = 1, then m + n is equal to : [2025]

So, m = 5, n = 9 [ gcd (m, n) = 1]
m + n = 14.
If A and B are two events such that , and and are the roots of the equation , then the value of is : [2025]

One die has two faces marked 1, two faces marked 2, one face marked 3 and one face marked 4. Another die has one face marked 1, two faces marked 2, two faces marked 3 and one face marked 4. The probability of getting the sum of numbers to be 4 or 5, when both the dice are thrown together, is [2025]
(1)
Let x be the number shows on dice –1 and y be the number shows on dice –2.
Favorable outcomes = {(x, y) = (1, 3), (3, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 2), (1, 4), (4, 1)}

A board has 16 squares as shown in the figure:
Out of these 16 squares, two squares are chosen at random. The probability that they have no side in common is: [2025]

Total ways for selecting any two squares
Total ways for selecting common side squares
So, required probability .
A and B alternately throw a pair of dice. A wins if he throws a sum of 5 before B throws a sum of 8, and B wins if he throws a sum of 8 before A throws a sum of 5. The probability, that A wins if A makes the first throw, is [2025]
(2)
Let be the event that A get sum of 5 and be the event that B get sum of 8.

Given : with entries 0 or 1.
Total possible ways for matrix A are ways.
Here E = { is invertible}
= 6 matrices
Thus, probability P(E) is given by .
Two number and are randomly chosen from the set of natural numbers. Then, the probability that the value of is non-zero, equals [2025]

Consider the events, : Bag is selected, : Bag is selected, : Bag is selected
A : Ball drawn is white. Then
