Q1. (5 marks) Maximize Z = 5x + 3y subject to: ⭐

  • 3x + 5y ≤ 15
  • 5x + 2y ≤ 10
  • x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

Solution: Corner points: (0, 0), (2, 0), (0, 3), (20/19, 45/19)

PointZ = 5x + 3y
(0, 0)0
(2, 0)10
(0, 3)9
(20/19, 45/19)100/19 + 135/19 = 235/19 ≈ 12.37

Maximum Z = 235/19 at (20/19, 45/19)

Important Questions (2-5 marks)

Q1. (3 marks) A bag contains 4 red and 4 black balls. Another bag contains 2 red and 6 black balls. One of the two bags is selected at random and a ball is drawn from the bag. Find the probability that the ball drawn is red.

Solution: P(Bag 1) = 1/2, P(Bag 2) = 1/2 P(Red|Bag 1) = 4/8 = 1/2 P(Red|Bag 2) = 2/8 = 1/4

P(Red) = P(Bag 1) × P(Red|Bag 1) + P(Bag 2) × P(Red|Bag 2) = (1/2)(1/2) + (1/2)(1/4) = 1/4 + 1/8 = 3/8

Q2. (5 marks) There are three coins. One is a two-headed coin, another is a biased coin that comes up heads 75% of the time and the third is an unbiased coin. One of the three coins is chosen at random and tossed. If it shows heads, what is the probability that it was the two-headed coin? ⭐

Solution: Let A₁ = two-headed, A₂ = biased, A₃ = unbiased P(A₁) = P(A₂) = P(A₃) = 1/3

P(H|A₁) = 1, P(H|A₂) = 3/4, P(H|A₃) = 1/2

P(H) = (1/3)(1) + (1/3)(3/4) + (1/3)(1/2) = 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6 = 9/12 = 3/4

By Bayes' theorem: P(A₁|H) = P(A₁) × P(H|A₁) / P(H) = (1/3 × 1) / (3/4) = (1/3) × (4/3) = 4/9

Q3. (5 marks) A random variable X has the following probability distribution: ⭐

X01234567

Find: (i) k (ii) P(X < 3) (iii) P(X > 6) (iv) Mean of X

Q4. (5 marks) Five cards are drawn successively with replacement from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that: (i) all the five cards are spades? (ii) only 3 cards are spades? (iii) none is a spade?
