JEE Main 2019 — Probability & Statistics

A person throws two fair dice. He wins Rs. $15$ for throwing a doublet (same numbers on the two dice), wins Rs $12$ when the throw results in the sum of $9$ , and loses Rs. $6$ for any other outcome on the throw. Then the expected gain/loss (in Rs.) of the person is:

The outcome of each of 30 items was observed; 10 items gave an outcome $\frac{1}{2}-\mathrm{d}$ each, 10 items gave outcome $\frac{1}{2}$ each and the remaining 10 items gave outcome $\frac{1}{2}+\mathrm{d}$ each. If the variance of this outcome data is $\frac{4}{3}$ then $|\mathrm{d}|$ equals:

Four persons can hit a target correctly with probabilities $\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{8}$ respectively. If all hit at the target independently, then the probability that the target would be hit, is

In a class of $60$ students, $40$ opted for NCC, $30$ opted for NSS and $20$ opted for both NCC and NSS. If one of these students is selected at random, then the probability that the student selected has opted neither for NCC nor for NSS is :

A data consists of $n$ observations: ${x}_{1}, {x}_{2},\ldots , {x}_{n}.$ If $\sum _{i=1}^{n}{({x}_{i}+1)}^{2}=9n$ and $\sum _{i=1}^{n}{({x}_{i}-1)}^{2}=5n$, then the standard deviation of this data is

Assume that each born child is equally likely to be a boy or girl. If two families have two children each, then the conditional probability that all children are girls given that at least two are girls is:

In a game, a man wins Rs. $100$ if he gets $5$ or $6$ on a throw of a fair die and loses Rs. $50$ for getting any other number on the die. If he decides to throw the die either till he gets a five or a six or to a maximum of three throws, then his expected gain/loss (in rupees) is :

The mean of five observations is $5$ and their variance is $9.20.$ If three of the given five observations are $1,3$ and $8,$ then a ratio of other two observations is

Two newspapers $A$ and $B$ are published in a city. It is known that $25%$ of the city population reads $A$ and $20%$ reads $B$ while $8%$ reads both $A$ and $B.$ Further, $30%$ of those who read $A$ but not $B$ look into advertisements and $40%$ of those who read $B$ but not $A$ also look into advertisements, while $50%$ of those who read both $A$ and $B$ look into advertisements. Then the percentage of the population who look into advertisements is:

If for some $x\in R$, the frequency distribution of the marks obtained by $20$ students in a test is: <table class="pyq-table"><tbody><tr><td>Marks</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>5</td><td>7</td></tr><tr><td>Frequency distribution</td><td>${(x+1)}^{2}$</td><td>$(2x-5)$</td><td>${x}^{2}-3x$</td><td>$x$</td></tr></tbody></table>Then the mean of the marks is :

Let $A$ and $B$ be two non-null events such that $A\subset B.$ Then, which of the following statements is always correct?

A bag contains 30 white balls and 10 red balls. 16 balls are drawn one by one randomly from the bag with replacement. If $X$ be the number of white balls drawn, then $\left(\frac{\text { mean of } \mathrm{X}}{\text { standard deviation of } \mathrm{X}}\right)$ is equal to:

If the mean and standard deviation of $5$ observations ${x}_{1},{x}_{2}, {x}_{3}, {x}_{4}, {x}_{5}$ are $10$ and $3,$ respectively, then the variance of $6$ observations ${x}_{1}, {x}_{2}, \ldots , {x}_{5}$ and $-50$ is equal to

Two cards are drawn successively with replacement from a well-shuffled deck of $52$ cards. Let $X$ denote the random variable of number of aces obtained in the two drawn cards. Then $P(X=1)+P(X=2)$ equals:

If the sum of the deviations of $50$ observations from $30$ is $50$, then the mean of these observations is :

If the data ${x}_{1},{x}_{2},\ldots {x}_{10}$ is such that the mean of first four of these is $11,$ the mean of the remaining six is $16$ and the sum of squares of all of these is $2000$, then the standard deviation of this data is:

A student scores the following marks in five tests: $45,54,41,57,43$. His score is not known for the sixth test. If the mean score is $48$ in the six tests, then the standard deviation of the marks in six tests is:

An urn contains $5$ red and $2$ green balls. A ball is drawn at random from the urn. If the drawn ball is green, then a red ball is added to the urn and if the drawn ball is red, then a green ball is added to the urn; the original ball is not returned to the urn. Now, a second ball is drawn at random from it. The probability that the second ball is red, is:
