Let S={x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7} Let the chosen element be xi. Total number of subsets of S=27=128 No. of non-empty subsets of S =128−1 =127 We need to find number of those subsets that contains xi. \begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline 2 & 2 & 2 & 2 & 1 & 2 & 2 \ \hline \end{array} x1x2-—- xi=−x7 For those subsets containing xi, each element has 2 choices. i.e., (included or not included) in subset, However as the subset must contain xi, xi has only one choice. (included one) So, total no. of subsets containing xi=2×2×2×2×1×2×2=64 Required prob = Total no. of non-empty subsets No. of subsets containing xi =12764
A set S contains 7 elements. A non-empty subset A of S and an element x of S are chosen at random. Then the probability that x ∈ A is:

The probability distribution of a random variable $X$ is given below : \(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline X & 4k & \dfrac{30}{7}k & \dfrac{32}{7}k & \dfrac{34}{7}k & \dfrac{36}{7}k & \dfrac{38}{7}k & \dfrac{40}{7}k & 6k \\ \hline P(X) & \dfrac{2}{15} & \dfrac{1}{15} & \dfrac{2}{15} & \dfrac{1}{5} & \dfrac{1}{15} & \dfrac{2}{15} & \dfrac{1}{5} & \dfrac{1}{15} \\ \hline \end{array}\) If $\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{X})=\frac{263}{15}$, then $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}<20)$ is equal to :
A candidate has to go to the examination centre to appear in an examination. The candidate uses only one means of transportation for the entire distance out of bus, scooter and car. The probabilities of the candidate going by bus, scooter and car, respectively, are $\dfrac{2}{5}$, $\dfrac{1}{5}$ and $\dfrac{2}{5}$. The probabilities that the candidate reaches late at the examination centre are $\dfrac{1}{5}$, $\dfrac{1}{3}$ and $\dfrac{1}{4}$ if the candidate uses bus, scooter and car, respectively. Given that the candidate reached late at the examination centre, the probability that the candidate travelled by bus is:
