In class $XI$ of a school $40\%$ of the students study Mathematics and $30 \%$ study Biology. $10 \%$ of the class study both Mathematics and Biology. If a student is selected at random from the class, find the probability that he will be studying Mathematics or Biology.

The probabilities of occurrence of two events are respectively $0.21$ and $0.49$. The probability that both occurs simultaneously is $0.16$. Then the probability that none of the two occurs is

If the odds in favour of an event be $3 : 5$, then the probability of non-occurrence of the event is

Consider an experiment of tossing a coin repeatedly until the outcomes of two consecutive tosses are same. If the probability of a random toss resulting in head is $\frac{1}{3}$, then the probability that the experiment stops with head is.
