NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 13 Probability Ex 13.1

Ex 13.1 Class 12 Maths Question 1
Given that E and Fare events such that
P (E) = 0.6, P (F) = 0.3 and P(E∩F) = 0.2
find P(E|F) and P (F|E).
Solution:
Given: P (E)=0.6, P (F)=0.3, P (E ∩ F)=0.2
\(P(E|F)=\frac { P(E\cap F) }{ P(E) } =\frac { 0.2 }{ 0.3 } =\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \)
\(P(F|E)=\frac { P(E\cap F) }{ P(E) } =\frac { 0.2 }{ 0.6 } =\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \)

Ex 13.1 Class 12 Maths Question 2
Compute P(A|B) if P(B)=0.5 and P (A∩B) = 0.32.
Solution:
Given: P (B)=0.5, P(A∩B)=0.32
\(P(A|B)=\frac { P(A\cap B) }{ P(B) } =\frac { 0.32 }{ 0.50 } =\frac { 32 }{ 50 } =0.64 \)

Ex 13.1 Class 12 Maths Question 3.
If P (A)=0.8, P (B)=0.5 and P(B/A)=0.4, find
(i) P(A∩B)
(ii) P(A/B)
(iii)P(A∪B)
Solution:
(i) \(P(B/A)=\frac { P(A\cap B) }{ P(A) } \Rightarrow 0.4=\frac { P(A\cap B) }{ 0.8 } \)
∴ P(A∩B) = 0.4 x 0.8 = 0.32
(ii) P(A/B) = \(P(A/B)=\frac { P(A\cap B) }{ P(B) } =\frac { 0.32 }{ 0.5 } =\frac { 32 }{ 50 } =\frac { 16 }{ 25 } \)
(iii) P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A∩B)
= 0.8 + 0.5 – 0.32 = 1.30 – 0.32 = 0.98

Ex 13.1 Class 12 Maths Question 4.
Evaluate P(A∪B) if 2P(A) = P(B) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 13 }\) and P(A|B) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\).
Solution:
Given:
2P(A) = P(B) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 13 }\) and P(A|B) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\).

Solution:
Let there be n throws in which a multiple of 3 occurs every time.
Probability of getting a multiple of 3 (i.e. 3 or 6)

NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 13 Probability Ex 13.1 Q15.1
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 13 Probability Ex 13.1 Q15.2

In each of the following choose the correct answer:

Ex 13.1 Class 12 Maths Question 16.
If P(A) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\), P (B) = 0 then P (A | B) is
(a) 0
(b) \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)
(c) not defined
(d) 1
Solution:
P(A) = P(B) = 0
∴ P(A∩B) = 0
\(\therefore P(A|B)=\frac { P(A\cap B) }{ P(B) } =\frac { 0 }{ 0 } \)
Thus option C is correct

Question 17.
If A and B are events such that P(A | B) = P(B | A) then
(a) A⊂B but A≠B
(b) A = B
(c) A∩B = φ
(d) P(A) = P(B)
Solution:
P(A | B) = P(B | A)
Thus option (d) is correct.
\(\frac { P(A\cap B) }{ P(B) } =\frac { P(B\cap A) }{ P(A) } \)
⇒ P(A) = P(B)
