1. (a) Two chess players P; and P: play two games against each other. The probabilities
of P; winning, drawing and losing a game against Pa are 34 ‘and + respectively.
Each player gets 2, 1 and 0 points for a win, draw and loss respectively in a game.

(b) Each of two biased coins C; and C; have probability
‘of coming up heads when
tossed once. Let p denote the number of heads observed when coin C; is tossed
twice independently. Similarly let g denote the number of heads observed when coin
|| C218 tossed twice independently. Find the probability that the equation
x°—p.x+q=0 has real and equal roots. G12)
2. (a) The probability that a family has n children is o(2 } =O) ind the
value of @. A child can be a boy or a girl with equal probability. Find the
probability that a family has at least a girl, Given that a family has at least one girl,
‘what is the conditional probability that it has two or more girls?
(b) Stores A, B and C have 50, 75 and 100 employees and, respectively 50, 60 and
70 percent of these are women. An employee is selected at random from all the
employees. What is the probability that it is a man? If a randomly selected employee
is found to be a woman what is the probability that she works in Store BB? (3+2)
