The probability that a mechanic makes an error while using a machine on the $n$th day is given by $P(E_n) = \frac{1}{2^n}$. If he has operated the machine for $4$ days,the probability that he has not made a mistake on $3$ of the $4$ days is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{243}{512}$
  • D
    $\frac{343}{1024}$

$A$ box contains coupons labelled $1, 2, 3, \ldots, n$. $A$ coupon is picked at random and the number $x$ is noted. The coupon is put back into the box and a new coupon is picked at random. The new number is $y$. Then,the probability that one of the numbers $x, y$ divides the other is (in the options below $[r]$ denotes the largest integer less than or equal to $r$)

If $A$ and $B$ are independent events of a random experiment such that $P(A \cap B)=\frac{1}{6}$ and $P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})=\frac{1}{3}$,then $P(A)$ is equal to (Here,$\bar{E}$ is the complement of the event $E$)

$A$ bag contains $7$ different black balls and $10$ different red balls. If balls are drawn one by one randomly until all black balls are drawn,what is the probability that this process is completed in the $12^{th}$ draw?

Let $A, B$ and $C$ be three events such that the probability that exactly one of $A$ and $B$ occurs is $(1-k)$,the probability that exactly one of $B$ and $C$ occurs is $(1-2k)$,the probability that exactly one of $C$ and $A$ occurs is $(1-k)$ and the probability that all $A, B$ and $C$ occur simultaneously is $k^2$,where $0 < k < 1$. Then the probability that at least one of $A, B$ and $C$ occurs is:

For three events $A$, $B$, and $C$ of a sample space, $P(\text{exactly one of } A \text{ or } B \text{ occurs}) = P(\text{exactly one of } B \text{ or } C \text{ occurs}) = P(\text{exactly one of } C \text{ or } A \text{ occurs}) = \frac{1}{4}$. If the probability of all the three events occurring simultaneously is $\frac{1}{16}$, then the probability that at least one of the events occurs is:
