Let S = w 1 , w 2 , … . be the sample space associated to a random experiment. Let P w n = P w n - 1 2…

Let S=w1,w2,. be the sample space associated to a random experiment. Let Pwn=Pwn-12, n2. Let A=2k+3l; k, l and B=wn; nA. Then PB is equal to
  1. 332
  2. 364
  3. 116
  4. 132

Solution

Given,

Pwn=Pwn-12, n2

Let Pw1=λ then

Pw2=λ2

 Pw3=λ22

                        

Pwn=λ2n-1

As

k=1Pwk=1

λ+λ2+λ22+λ23+....=1

λ1-12=1λ=12

So, Pwn=12n

A=2k+3l; k, lN=5,7,8,9,10

B=wn: nA

B=w5,w7,w8,w9,w10,w11,

A=-1, 2, 3, 4, 6

 PB=1-Pw1+Pw2+Pw3+Pw4+Pw6

=1-12+14+18+116+164

=1-32+16+8+4+164=364
