Three persons $P, Q$ and $R$ independently try to hit a target. If the probabilities of their hitting the target are $\frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$ respectively,then the probability that the target is hit by $P$ or $Q$ but not by $R$ is

  • A
    $\frac{21}{64}$
  • B
    $\frac{9}{64}$
  • C
    $\frac{15}{64}$
  • D
    $\frac{39}{64}$

The probability of hitting a target by three marksmen is $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3},$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ respectively. If the probability that exactly two of them will hit the target is $\lambda$ and that at least two of them hit the target is $\mu,$ then $\lambda + \mu$ is equal to :-

$A$ random experiment has five outcomes $w_1, w_2, w_3, w_4$ and $w_5$. The probabilities of the occurrence of the outcomes $w_1, w_2, w_3, w_4$ and $w_5$ are respectively $\frac{1}{6}, a, b, c$ and $\frac{1}{12}$ such that $12a + 12b - 1 = 0$. If $p(w_4) = c$ and the outcomes are equally likely for $w_2, w_3, w_4$,find the probability of the outcome $w_3$. Given the condition $12a + 12b = 1$,and assuming $a=b=c$ for the remaining outcomes,find $p(w_3)$.
