E: Ball drawn from bag is observed to be Red after A or B has occurred.

P(E)=P(E∩A)+P(E∩B)
⇒P(E)=P(A)P(AE)+P(B)P(BE)

A bag contains 4 red and 6 black balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag, its color is observed and this ball along with two additional balls of the same color are returned to the bag. If now a ball is drawn at random from the bag, then the probability that this drawn ball is red, is:

If a random variable $x$ has the probability distribution $\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline x & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 \\ \hline P(x) & 0 & 2k & k & 3k & 2k^{2} & 2k & k^{2}+k & 7k^{2} \\ \hline \end{array}$ then $P(3 < x \leq 6)$ is equal to
If the mean of the data <table class="pyq-table"><tbody><tr><th>Class</th><th>$5-10$</th><th>$10-15$</th><th>$15-20$</th><th>$20-25$</th><th>$25-30$</th><th>$30-35$</th></tr><tr><td>Frequency</td><td>$2$</td><td>$k$</td><td>$28$</td><td>$54$</td><td>$k+1$</td><td>$5$</td></tr></tbody></table> is $21$, then $k$ is one of the roots of the equation :
A bag contains $(N+1)$ coins $- N$ fair coins, and one coin with 'Head' on both sides. A coin is selected at random and tossed. If the probability of getting 'Head' is $\dfrac{9}{16}$, then $N$ is equal to:
Let the mean and the variance of seven observations $2, 4, \alpha, 8, \beta, 12, 14$, $\alpha < \beta$, be $8$ and $16$ respectively. Then the quadratic equation whose roots are $3\alpha + 2$ and $2\beta + 1$ is :
If the mean and the variance of the data \(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Class} & 4\text{-}8 & 8\text{-}12 & 12\text{-}16 & 16\text{-}20 \\ \hline \text{Frequency} & 3 & \lambda & 4 & 7 \\ \hline \end{array}\) are $\mu$ and 19 respectively, then the value of $\lambda+\mu$ is
