Statistics And Probability Question 432
Question: One ticket is selected at random from 100 tickets numbered 00, 01, 02, …… 98, 99. If X and Y denote the sum and the product of the digits on the tickets, then $ P,(X=9/Y=0) $ equals
Options:
A) $ \frac{1}{19} $
B) $ \frac{2}{19} $
C) $ \frac{3}{19} $
D) None of these
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
-
Event $ (Y=0) $ is $ \{00,01,09,10,20,..........90\} $ Also $ (X=9)\cap (Y=0)=09,90, $ we have $ P(Y=0)=\frac{19}{100} $ and $ P(X=9)\cap (Y=0)=\frac{2}{100} $ Hence required probability $ =P\{ (X=9)/(Y=0) \}=\frac{\{ P(X=9)\cap (Y=0) \}}{P(Y=0)}=\frac{2}{19} $ .
